I’m now brainstorming. Always. Except the times I seek intoxication as relief. And lately that’s no refuge either. No refuge. Hence, no intoxication. I need more coffee. Focus. Clarity. Trance-like fluidity gliding unto awareness. I need to sink into wakefulness. Dissolve into vigilance. Disappear into consciousness, trans-consciousness. I need to dream awake lucidly. We need to dream our new reality, tomorrow’s awaiting. Tomorrow is awaiting…
What to do if…
…if there are further terrorist attacks. That depends. Where? How? How many? But how long do you wait for full information before you decide to act? I’m sure there were people high up in the second WTC tower just hanging around watching the horrid spectacle of the first WTC tower going up in smoke…when the second attack struck. There were people with false optimism, some of it encouraged by authorities, who returned to their office below the towering infernos perhaps to retrieve valuables and belongings. Or to back up essential databases to remote servers. They were needlessly lost. Simply, if there is an attack, get out—unless you’re sure you can really help.
So you get out. But where do you go? It depends. With any attack beyond a conventional bombing, that is, a chemical, nuclear, or biological attack dispensed into the air, if possible, all other things being equal, go upwind. Know your prevailing weather patterns and stay abreast of the current winds. In a simulated battle involving tear gas, I once found myself in just such a situation without my protective gas mask and preserved my fighting ability by moving out but upwind of the attack.
What if you are staying abreast of the news and hear of chemical or biological weapons dispersed first in one metropolitan area, say, Los Angeles, then another, say Chicago. Do you wait to hear of the third? The fourth? The fifth? At what point, if you are working in a downtown metropolitan area, do you decide to evacuate? Do you wait for “authority” to make the decision? It’s a judgment call. But if you need to get out, envision a safe haven well outside the metropolitan area and upwind—where you and all your loved ones can meet—and get out.
Communication has now become more important to us than ever. I’m taking a radio to work and keeping it on a news channel. I’m keeping my radio in my truck on news rather than listening to music. I’m keeping my cell phone on 24x7 and intending on buying an additional battery and carrying that with me. I’m intending on using this Xanga site for an emergency communication to loved ones should cellphone communications be disrupted but the internet backbone remain intact. And I’m devising a contingency plan, should I not be able to return home, to gather at a country cabin—and devising maps to travel there over primary and, if necessary, backroads.
Fear does not drive me to these considerations. Getting intelligently clear of danger—with no panic—is the very best thing the average citizen can do in the event of an attack. If you have a plan, and have the necessity and opportunity to execute it, you are one less person for everyone else to worry about. And one more person to continue…onward, to dream…other dreams,…lucidly envisioning and creating the world yet awaiting us.
Be well, be strong, stay blessed.

this is a dose of reality for sure. important.
Very interesting and effective.
This ties into your idea that we are like tourists in an unpredictable world and so should be wary. I wonder what the average Israeli citizen does against terrorist attacks? What we can learn from them?
You think like me. And that scares me. This kind of thought is one I rarely externalize. It stays deep within the recesses of my mind and I figure it's safer for everyone if they stay there. I was afraid that I was turning into a paranoid war-suspecting ... my vocabulary fails me; I'm running a fever of 102. Forgive me. But I think you get the idea. I thought I was being irrational. I wasn't really in a panic, but I was just thinking ... of ways to keep in contact with people. Elaborate measures.
Anyway ... my point is, thanks for letting me know I'm not abnormal. Eheh.
leave space in your cabin for other xangans, k? ;P
I'm going to invent a Swiss Army cell phone/extra battery/radio/laptop/thermos combo. You can be my first customer.

Nice blog. Keep it tight bro...
Sailing on In War...
Ah reality check. I don't want to be like a deer in headlights but I really don't know what I would do.
This is good advice and quiet real. I too have and will implement certain patterns and habits in my life. Stay strong, and grounded.....it's hard for me, I like to tune out. Somehow, I know that is not going to work this time. I refuse to give them my sunshine though and I will sing a silly song to the end.
BE WELL my friend.
My friend only thought to call home from the other tower when the first plane hit. She wanted them to know she was okay and headed out. They have not heard from her since. I am reeling in pain knowing this. I don't know what to do or say or think or feel anymore...
That is heavy dude. What scares me is that being my husband is a Marine, they will ship him somewhere and I will be left in this town we call home, alone with my two kids. The rest of my family is hundreds of miles away. I don't even know how to begin to prepare for something like this. It is going to happen though. I feel it in my gut. I listen to friends and family talk about the future. Worrying over when they are gonna buy their next car, or how they are going to pay their bills. Sweating the small stuff at this point is fruitless. Appreciating the time we have left and showing those we love how much they have meant to us is the most important that any of us can do. Our time here is short.

This has definitely brought on a reality check for sure!! You've got some very good ideas there NFP...Things that all of us should think about...Very scary stuff!
bobette
I wish I could throw up, I am sure my stomach would feel better then. *sigh*
If a nuclear war was to happen... I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I am not going to live through a war.
Bang!
..and if you HAVE a gas mask.. remember to SHAVE! I learned it the HARD way in a field manouver!
Ive thought the same things,especially,over the past few days. Im not only worried about airborn chem attacks but water supplies also.

We are way past the time when we didn realize the significance of the subject line. It makes no sense to send a message that reads subject and seems to be about nothing. Given the huge volume of email that each person receives, the subject header is essential if you want your message read any time soon.'electronic paper' is not pulp fiction
Larry Sinclair's Rabbit Hole Of InsanityThis one is a doozy. Larry Sinclair, a petty criminal specializing in forgery, spread wild accusations via YouTube involving gay sex, drugs and possible murder committed by Barack Obama. At one point reporters apparently took Sinclair seriously enough to attend a press conference he gave, most remarkable for his lawyer's appearance in a kilt, which he explained was intended to secure comfort for his unusually large sexual organs: "Those at the other end of the spectrum find [pants] quite confining.".
I log my calories religiously and shoot for an average knowing that weekends and social occasions are a wonderful part of life, and they often come with extra calories. If you plan ahead, or make amends for splurging, even a binge can be worked into your average. I cannot weigh too often because if I do, I get discouraged, I try to weigh only every two weeks or maybe even once a month, so that I see results, rather than the daily ups and downs of the scales.

How are property taxes measured, and just how much does that phrase encompass.
I might come across protecting the key talking level that the Republicans leaderships wants to hold
