Coots...I'm certain my opinion is not shared by all, but Pammie, my lord lady...if you live your life in abject fear, ya might as well ccurl up & die right now. Again, it's my opinion, but you do not get to pick when it's your turn, and, when it IS your turn, it is unavoidable....this one's in hands much bigger than yours.....
I know this sniper thing is horrendous....but how many people have passed that way daily, unscathed?
I vote you go....use yer friends as human shields.....(that is a joke...just a joke...I want NO hate mail...got it?)
Cathi who wants Pammie to fly and live without fear....

Huh? Me primate! Me living with the animals in thee insane, er uh - bands crashpadstudiomahjig....I'm out of the loop on what's up with the world of the living....
Sniper? Another one? Are you kidding me?
Hell, I wouldn't worry about the traveling odds of being shot at. It'd prolly be safe to say that you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting shot at. Hell, I'd go out even further on a limb to say you'd have better odds of having some obscure fucked up thing like cluster headaches...
Oh wait...nevahmind!

My theory -- I've got CH - what the hell can they do to me?
Look at the bright side -- maybe you'll be the one to spot him and collect the reward...

I lived through the DC sniper thing and it was not fun, to say the least. You just don't have any idea how terrifying it is until it hits your neighborhood. It's like trying to explain CH to some one who thinks they are "just headaches".
My humble opinion.
Coots--I'm hearing you and want you to stay safe. I give you permission to drink heavily.

I also lived through the DC sniper episode and while it was scary, I chose to be fatalistic about it. Look at it this way: You have CH--what could be worse. I figured that I personally would never get shot in the head because then my suffering would be over and so far I've never been that lucky. I would gladly volunteer to be a human shield.

Go, but don't stop anywhere in that area. It is harder to hit a moving target. Be safe!

I mean is the person shootin from a vehicle comein up along side of ya....from the road or a house or the woods.........yipes.......I'm brinin on a panic attack here !! I realize the chances ta git hit are slim but tell that to the ones that got it ! I'm not to thrilled about this trip cuz of it ! No bullseye Pam

He's probably in an elevated position pretty far from the road, that way he has good vision and can leave without being seen by other motorists on the highway. At least if I was a crazy sick bastard, that's how I would do it.

Rent a U-haul and ride in the back. Does this guy shoot passengers or drivers? Maybe try going through there at night.

He/she killed a passenger.
Drive 90 MPH then 50 Mph then 75 MPH. Harder to lead a target if the velocity changes....

Park your car further away, get a taxi to your car, put cardboard cutout people in the seats of the taxi and lie down .
Seriously thought, isn't it possible just to detour?

There has to be away to avoid that stretch of road. Or you can lie down in the backseat. Of course, if you are driving then that is not an option.

Simple.
Slap an NRA sticker on the car, tie Brad down on the hood with some branches stickin out of his ears, and keep yellin "Got me a Big Buck".
Scare the shit outta any sniper.

I think your odds of having a car accident are higher than being shot by the sniper. It's like anything else. I swim in the Gulf of Mexico with sharks not far away. We can see them! The odds are they are not going to come and eat me. So, my kids, husband and I swim in the water knowing they are around. Otherwise we would miss out and the water is too beautiful not to go in and snorkel and swim and body surf!
Try not to let it bother you. Take an alternate route if you can.
