I'd have thought there would have been some advance notice in the LOCAL media - such as on this here web site or in the print copy.

I must have missed it.

I heard and was awakened on several ocassions by the guns last nite. I ended up having to sedate my Yorkie just to shut her up. .5 mgs. Alprazolam.

Gee...the guns woke me up, too. Initially I thought it was "distant thunder" (a flashback to Mort Kunstler's painting of Lee at Cashtown on July 1, 1863) - but then the fog cleared.

The initial blog post here was my first inkling as to what was really going on.
