DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM

I use to work at a Suzuki motorcycle dealership in Aspen Hill years ago. AND, Olney was basically a general store and maybe a gas station when I was growing up.

That dealership was there forever, but I think it just closed down. My family has been in Olney since 1985 and it has changed quite a bit, but it really just seems like it got more crowded.

Good to see him gone.

One of the first victims was killed within a mile of the house where I grew up in Kensington. I worked at the Safeway right next to the Shell station as a high school kid. Needless to say I was concerned for my Mom, sister and her family while this was going on.

I was also coming back from DC and too tired to make it back to VB. So I stopped in Ashland and noticed a bunch of police on the exit. I didn't stop to find out what was up, just figured it was a wreck. I pulled into the Microtel to get some sleep and finish the drive in the AM. (Note: I had a shotgun in my vehicle, long story, but it was legal). I was woke up to ATF agents banging on my door at about 11:30pm with guns drawn. I opened the door (slowly and cautiously) and they checked me and the room out. Then they explained the sniper had shot someone at the Ponderosa in Ashland earlier that night. They wanted to check out my shotgun, (fortunately it wasn't a .22 rifle) once they knew it wasn't me, they apologized and let me go. Not a real fun experience.

Damn dude, that was a close call. I'm sure the Feds were nervous as heck too. Good thing you weren't a shady character.

This guy was really everywhere it seems.

Thats funny. We used to take whatever we could and go road racing around the Kmart parking lot behind the dealership at like midnight. Olney was a cool old country town back in the day
