If you're planning on going to see the bonsai collection at the National Arboretum, you might want to wait until the man hunt is over

Wonder if he's hiding behind a tree?

I sure hope the Yamaki Pine doesn't get shot at ... again.

Even though I read about what happened at the Arboretum, my first thought at the word "manhunt" was the search for a new bonsai curator. I didn't think the competition was _that_ cutthroat.

If he's got any brains, he's hiding in the tropical room of the bonsai exhibit...

Again? Who shot it up last time? Hunters after Bambi? Was it decorated with Santa Claus and a few deer? Do tell.

If anyone's following this story, the guy's long gone from the Arb. SWAT teams are looking for him--elsewhere in D.C.

Rockm,
That area!....
I remember about 3 years ago during SATURDAY of PBA show the SWAT team had road blocked about 1/4mi down New York Ave from some guys they THOUGHT were holed up there. Several hours. Traffic stopped. People on way to show stopp and turned back. What a day to be selling.
