well, this didn't deserve a thread of it's own, so I'll relate it here. It's only slightly off-topic.
I live on a road that is 30 miles long with no towns of any size on it. One "community is about 400 people with a single gas station and my hometown
is about 700 people with another single gas station/store. No industry, not much except farms and such on this road, and even feeder roads.
Now there are roads that lead to other towns, but where I am, it would be out of the way to go to them by using this state highway. In other words,
you could go to towns either East or West of my home, but it would be much quicker and easier to go down more major roads.
So, a few days ago, I'm traveling with my wife and meet four Fed Ex trucks. Four fed Ex semi trucks with 40 foot trailers. There's no industry down
our way, no major anything. I chose this area because it is as near "nowhere" as you can be and still be close (in a sense) to a fair sized (80,000)
town. There is nothing in my area that would have a delivery from two Fed Ex trucks that size.
But if that was all of it, I might have wrote it off to just being odd that I saw that convoy, strange as it was. But the rigs were followed by a pair
of black Suburbans with dark tinted windows and then a half mile further a "police" vehicle with a decal I couldn't make out, though it was nothing
local that I recognized.
As I say, I was meeting these vehicles, and I was on the way to the hospital to see my son, so I couldn't chase them down to see where they went. And
what would I say if they stopped? But it was very odd.
Why would four Fed EX trucks go to a town where I know everybody and know most of whats going on, when I never heard a thing about any "big" thing
coming down? (And trust me, in a small town, everybody knows just about everything that is happening to anybody else, good or bad.) And four big
trucks like that could stock a fair size store in our area.
So yes, there are some strange vehicles moving around on our roads.
