Lscott Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 People are nervous about the outcome of the election today. Been reading stories where businesses have boarded up their windows etc. Anything that crazy going on in your area? At least by me I haven't noticed anything. Hopefully people will behave themselves regardless of the results. WRXB215 and WSEZ 1 1 Quote

CaptainSarcastic Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 I took a couple days off work because I don't want to stray too far from home unless I really need to - Sort of prepared like a winter storm was approaching. People are loony these days, and I'm glad I carry. Lscott, WRUS537, WSFK665 and 1 other 2 2 Quote

WRYZ926 Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 I live in a rural area that is an hour away from the closest big cities. I don't look for anything crazy to happen here. But I am always prepared for the worse. WSEZ 1 Quote

WRUQ357 Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 I mentioned to my wife the other day that I was glad that we moved to a small town. How ever it turns out, we get to watch from afar. WSEZ 1 Quote

No we don’t have any of those issues in town. Of coarse we only have 2 paved streets. The mani 2 lane and the street the high school is on. But no we do t have issues any time of year for any reason.

AAR Signal Mast Top = Maxum Speed Authorized Middle = Medem Speed 15 to 35 MPH Bottom = Restricted Speed 5 to 10 MPH Then again, I could be mistaking. After all, I am a Rail Fan and not a Railroader.
