My tv just went kaput. None of the channels are working. Well, that's a bit more anxiety. So the cable company's out of commission? Jeez. The problem with this war/retaliation is that everything is immediately suspected of being something horrible. Maybe I just need a new tv.
I now have two new battery-powered radios, with lots of batteries, candles and matches, bottled water, canned food, batteries for my portable cd player so I don't go nuts if there's no electricity at some point, I've made my calls, I've settled my debts. I didn't get any duct tape or plastic for the windows, but I did take the air conditioner out because so much air comes in through that. If chemicals come through the tightly closed windows, hmmm, dust from the WTC did so I guess chemicals would, too... I'll deal with it then. This is not fun, and I'm not even getting bombed on. It may be time to take more seriously my get-out-of-town plan... Debra Shea
