July 5, 2009 (Nanuet NY) A tanker truck making a delivery of chlorine for a swimming pool leaked and caused the evacuation of the public swimming pool and lake.

According to one news report: "The accident happened at 10 a.m. when a truck driver from Universal Chemical of South Kearny, N.J., was delivering sodium hypochlorite to the Normandy Village pool, a chemical compound popularly known as chlorine and used as a disinfectant in swimming pools.

"When the guy hooked up to the connection, he saw that it was leaking and shut it off as quickly as he could," said John Kryger, deputy fire coordinator for Rockland County.

July 14, 2009 (Kearny NJ)  Earlier this week, KOTW signed up to follow both Christopher Christie's and Jon Corzine's Twitter pages.  Christie then began to follow KOTW on Twitter.  As of today, Jon Corzine has not.  Should we infer something from the above facts.  Does it simply mean that Christopher Christie is more open to the use of technology to reach potential voters.  Or should we infer that Jon Corzine doesn't appreciate the opinions expressed on KOTW.  Or is it simply that the staff member on Christie's campaign staff is just on top of it while Corzine's isn't.
