I forgot to say
November 02, 2001
Oh boy, updating is so easy now! I forgot to say that yesterday was definitely the strangest halloween I’ve ever seen in my 21 years of existence. The strangeness was in the fact that I was home all night and NO kids rang my doorbell for candy. Even though we turn off the porch light, every year there usually are a few kids who try anyway. Last night – nadda. I’m wondering why all the kids have dissappeared. Is it that the 4 anthrax deaths have caused all the mothers in my neighborhood to lock their kids in the cellar? I mean, on average, 20000 people die from the flu each year. 4 anthrax deaths doesn’t amount to much in the big picture. Plus, I’m sure terrorists aren’t going to send out anthraxed mail to Joe Smith, 52151 Main Street, Anytown, USA (or Canada for that matter). I mean, I’m quite sure they want maximum effects if they were to commit a terrorist act. How scary would it be to attack an old lady in the name of Jihad right? So… only big public places need to worry really. Urban neighborhoods, I’m quite certain they’re ok. Oh yeah, here was a prediction for the next terrorist attack – scheduled for oct31 at the yankee game. Even though it fell short of “being correct”, it’s still interesting.
And now I should sleep for tomorrow is my training day. Ie, it’s the day I play 4 hours of volleyball wearing 10lbs on my ankles – it’s amazing how light I feel after the four hours and after I take off the weights. Goodnight my sheep.
