lol. It is a very big difference in figures. I couldn't think of you going to sleep thinking that. Well, I had a couple of day breakdown over the whole thing but you were wisely on vacation. It's that feeling of impending bad something happening. Hurts my head. But it's here and it isn't that big a thang. Not to have a warped brain about it, but since it has been fairly contained so far, it is not the worst thing that could happen. Strides are being made to upgrade our protection, and folks are getting a LOT of practice. Those these hoaxsters we could do without. I did hear one thing that made me laugh. Someone said, "Can you imagine Halloween when all those kids come home and open their Bubblegum with that white powder on it?" Madhouse time. As to Congress, I think we should keep the Senate in session, and just let the congress call in votes, but leave them at home where they can't give silly interviews. And only Dashell (sp), Lott, and that smart doctor Senator from TN can talk from the Senate about this stuff. The rest can talk about taxes and pet projects. Those Congressfolks are just way too off the wall when you get a bunch of them together. Madness of crowds, maybe? I am open to be persuaded I'm wrong by them. No one I've talked with around here mentions a word about it all, except one guy I had a long talk with while we waited for our cars to be serviced. But he was casual, with lots of good perspectives. I do hope we save a little energy for if something big does happen.

We should start collecting these stories. I heard one on NPR, powder left in a hotel bathroom, no note or anything, authorities called in, talcum powder. Another one: powder on a plane, authorities called in , food crumbs. Maybe it's a plot to restore 50's standards of housekeeping.
