A bomb sent me home early

My surf-fishing trip was cut short this morning by a bomb that went
off in a trash can around two miles from where I was fishing. It had
been planted along the route of the Semper Five 5K charity run.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/explosion-jersey-site-5k-race/story?id=42160249

Nobody was hurt, but it was creepy. I didn't hear the bomb go off,
probably because the breeze was blowing the wrong way and the surf was
right in front of me.

So I came home to get out of the confusion; I'll go back again
tomorrow, if the road isn't blocked off.

You could just tell us you they weren't biting and you left early ;-)

So how did you find out if you didn't hear it?

I was in God's country in Michigan's western UP when a bear hunter told
me about the 9/11 attacks. I thought it sounded pretty wild... It had
been a long day already, left the house early morning to go exploring
via topo, compass and GPS. So I mosied back to my vehicle and turned on
the radio. Yup, the guy wasn't pulling my leg. Decided it might be a
good idea to fill my fuel tanks (had dual tanks) rather than wait
longer for a better price (I thought it was too high when I arrived
several day's earlier). Made me feel better to have enough go juice for
the 600 mile trip back home...

I didn't get a chance to find out. <g> There were blues out there --
gulls were wheeling all over -- but they didn't come in to the beach
during the hour or so I was fishing. The bomb went off around 9:30 AM.

People were running around on the beach and yelling.

Hmm...I was working at my computer, with the TV news on but the sound
turned off (my frequent habit during the workday). Then I turned
around to look at the TV...

But what else are you supposed to do with them? d8-)

There's only one road from Seaside Park down into Island Beach State
Park, where I was fishing. I heard they had it blocked late today,
although I think they just had a roadblock up, checking out the cars
leaving the park.

I sure hope it's open tomorrow.

Imagine that. The news is saying that the terrorist owns a fried chicken restaurant at 104 Elmora Road, Elizabeth, NJ 07202. Its named First American Fried Chicken.

And the place where they caught him is nine miles from my house. It's
not a neighborhood I'd normally visit. Elizabeth is next door to
Newark, and it's a lot like many people imagine Newark to be.

Additional freaky coincidence: My neighbor has a summer house in
Seaside Park. I saw him today and he said that he and his wife walked
right by that trash can 40 minutes before the bomb went off. And my
son lives twelve blocks from the bomb that went off in Chelsea, in
Manhatten.

For what appears to be a very amateurish bomber, he did have some
fancy explosives. I'm wondering what his supply chain looks like.

Here in Australia the radio news (politically correct ABC) reported him
as an American citizen (which he technically is). They failed to include
that he had migrated from Afghanistan.

Right. He's a naturalized citizen, and has been one for 10 or 11
years, I think.

They're the scary ones. He seemed normal, his acquaintences said,
although he was kind of distant. He came here as a toddler, went to
American schools and college, and so on. And then made some visits to
Afghanistan, and then Pakistan, and came back to the US kind of weird.

They're the ones that are going to be very hard to pick out of the
crowd.

Regarding the NY/NJ area, I was looking at wikipedia news reports about that and they (and other sources) say: there are about "350 Afghan-owned chicken stores across the five boroughs" starting with Zia Taeb ... came to New York from Kabul in 1972 ... who studied engineering in Baku in the Soviet Union ... He began working as a fry cook in the 1970s, The New York Times reports... Afghanistan-born Zia started Kennedy [Fried Chicken] (before September 11, 2001 or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) ... [He] has since moved on to importing rare gems... one of the only people selling hot and fresh halal meat to the city's growing Muslim population (Halal is apparently a religious reference to food).

Right, Believe me, the whole dispute about where people like to or "should" comfortably spend their time - urban, suburban or rural - is a constant issue every place on the face of the earth.

I've always fished since I was 6yo. It just fascinates me. I like
adventure fishing over freezer fishing but I love to eat Bluegill,
Yellow perch, GN Pike, Walleye...in that order. I've been trading
Canadian Bacon that I smoke for Perch lately and have a bunch of people
over for a fry-fest. I especially like Cook's Country Onion Ring batter
on the perch.

Sounds good. I was thinking about getting a fishing license now that
I'm retired, but damn, all the rivers have pharmaceuticals flushed
into them from all the cities upstream these days. I'm wondering if I
really want to do that after all.

I used to fish for bluegill, trout, catfish, & crappie (thrown back)
as a boy in AR, but haven't been fishing as an adult, with the
exception of skipjacking with barbless hooks on a concrete hulled
fishing boat off the shore of Ensenada, Mexico about 35 years ago.


P.S: After several requests and no replies, I've come to the
conclusion that you don't want me to have your new email address.

We *know* - not merely suspect - that once again, you are just blowing
hot air, or "woofing" as my friends in the 'hood used to call it.

There is no "list", there is no "someone to take care of it", no "cold
steel" - none of that. Every word of your goofy threats is bullshit,
and we all know it.

Just to be on the safe side, however, every one of the threats has been
printed and snail-mailed to Lisa Green, the district attorney of Kern
County, http://www.co.kern.ca.us/da/#.V-QrAbEkpQI, and to Donny

Yep. Those of us who aren't afraid - so afraid we have to run away to
hide in the "reddest county in the state" in a city with less than 5%
blacks - have actually had some involvement in rough areas. I don't
know a lot of people in Compton and Pacoima, but I know some, and they
say you're woofing. You are.

You're completely full of shit. Everyone knows it, including you.

Sort of like discovering a mythical backhoe out there in the desert
(used to bury dead bodies), or the 260 mph motorcycle, or any of the
other imagined devices that make Gunner such a object of derision.

This is actually a recognized mental condition described as "an
individual with this trait (termed a fantasizer) may have difficulty
differentiating between fantasy and reality and may experience
hallucinations, as well as self-suggested psychosomatic symptoms, it
is quite frequently a mental defense against the reality of being a
failure".

This condition is accurately described in the fiction account, "The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty" written by James Thurber and published in
"New Yorker" magazine in 1939.

So, rather than "Gunner Asch" it is, in reality, "Fantasizer Asch (the
failure)".
