Donnie and I were snuggled in bed at 9am and Donnie thought he heard Devon, the only kid still in public school. He does have a tendency to sleep in sometimes and end up tardy.
So we get up and find Devon making breakfast at 9:30. What are you doing here?
Turns out that he was sent home because there are 3 suspicious packages placed around town, and they closed down all the schools. There is a package at the high school (4 blocks down our street), the post office (about 4-5 blocks the other direction) and the public utilities (4 blocks another direction).
The bomb squad from St. Paul is on their way now, but at one point several roads in town were shut down from the threat. Here is a brief news report on it.
I'll update when we find out what they found in the packages. I'm suspecting it was nothing, but it is weird that it was at several places.
Update**
So far the packages were "devices that look like bombs" but we don't know if they are or not. FBI is involved, probably because of the post office. The areas are clear now, so the treat is over, and life is resuming back to normal. Except for not having school today.
