Easy for you to say, you're in the know. Let me relate a similar
story. The local airport wants to pave a new highway connecting
Enfield (coincidence?) to them. One of many possible routes leaves me
tractor trailer trucks flying through what used to be my backyard. It
could be months before they release any more information on their
plans. Meanwhile I'm completely in the dark. These NDAs leave me
with a similar (albeit much lesser) vague sense of impending doom.
