Thursday Jan 14
Just got word federal employees in the community were told to shut down mid-shift and to leave. They were urged to be observant during travels and around their homes as well. The words "creditable threat" were used in that notice, but I have no idea what stimulated the sudden change in status.

People are on edge. Normally, grocery shopping etc are relaxing and social endeavors, but unfamiliar folks wandering around in camo and such are now viewed suspiciously and given a wide berth. Same with out of state license plates, especially Idaho and Nevada.

Never an inclination to lock our doors or remove keys from rigs for over 30 years around here. We rely fairly heavily on the government sector (federal, state, and county) in our local economy. so we're concerned. The region is attractive enough that range cons, wildlife bio's, foresters, soil conservationists etc will often spend their entire careers here. A love/hate environment. The hate crowd leaves ASAP due to remoteness as we're lacking malls, theaters, or choice among 100 different eateries. The others put down roots, rely on promotions to advance, or simply value the lifestyle.

Given the occupiers are free to go and come at will, it would be relatively easy to coordinate an attack on any or all of our dispersed government compounds. Praying it does not happen, and hoping to get word on what generated the status change.

Color we worried,
