Oh dear ...

Probably I would be dealing with all of this a lot better if I'd been at work and too busy to really dwell on anything ...

But here I am, at home ... trapped by circumstance ... wondering ... should I have bought that duct tape and plastic sheeting instead of scoffing? Should I have violated my physician's orders and driven up to the corner for gasoline before the price goes over $2/gallon?

Nah .. I'm not changing any of my behavior over this stuff ... I've always slept with a loaded gun. Why should that change now?

Humor aside ... what I have noticed ... there's a LOT of unaccustomed air traffic overhead tonight ... I live next to an airport, but it's a civilian airport ... the only thing of any real size that flys over at this time of night is the medevac chopper. I think that went at at around 2130 hrs, has been quiet since.

I'm hearing big multi-engine jets, sometimes turbo-props ... mostly from the direction of the Naval Air Station. Last time I heard anything like this was just before the start of the gulf war.

Has anyone noticed ... have any of the TV stations started a visible countdown timer? Foxnews keeps reminding us verbally. "Saddam Hussein has x hours left to make a decision on the ultimatim ..." This needs a doomsday clock though, dontcha think?
