Of course, I’m as upset about the bombing of the World Trade Center as is anyone else. Speculations fly, gas prices have gone through the roof, news coverage is incessant. I tracked it for a while, then tried to put it out of my mind. I’ve spent the last hour on metafilter which is where I first learned of the attach and where I found out details while the major news sites were down. Gina and I had plenty to worry about since her brother-in-law flies for United and my birth-mother is a flight attendant for American Airlines. We are happy to report that none of our family, as far as we know, died in the attack. Though we’re devestated that so many of our larger family–our human family–did. Go in peace.
