AP source: Specific but unconfirmed threat received targeting New York or Washington - The Washington Post

I was taking my son to school this morning along my usual path along what I call North Main Street through downtown Watkinsville (evidently the Sheriff's Dispatch calls it Highway 15) when I crawled up to the busy intersection with the Highway 441 Bypass. There was a smallish gap with a couple of vehicles barreling down east in my direction on the highway towards Athens, but this morning I decided not to engage the rocket power of my Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel truck and instead remained steadfast and resolute when suddenly there was a large and loud "thud" on the back of my bumper. I was rear-ended by a gentleman in a SUV in the lane where one would merge with the rapid traffic of Highway 441, causing much worse damage to his front bumper then it would appear to my trailer hitch or rear bumper. A 50-cent piece slice of plastic came off my assembly near the license plate, which as anyone who has paid for any repairs lately means an $800.00+ damage estimate at your local neigh...

City Dope: Sep. 7, 2011 - Flagpole Magazine: Colorbearer of Athens, GA

but not the kind you are probably thinking of, instead I was part of the team of parents keeping track of first downs and yardage necessary in my son's first tackle football game. It is a lot harder than it looks to keep after exactly where the football was downed on the play, which down it is, and how far to go to on the next down.  The game was in a light rain and was very well played by both teams. I forgot how much football action is determined within sixty inches of the line of scrimmage. The Oconee County Recreation and Parks Department ran two games consecutively at the Oconee County Middle School, complete with a rooster crowing in the background and Georgia basketball coach Mark Fox in attendance this evening watching his #14 son's team come up a little short on the 20-6 score. It was fun being part of the team of parents pulling the ten yards of chain up and down the sidelines. I would be happy to volunteer again anytime. My son recorded a pair of solo tackles and...
