I like when you post jstolzen; you are being cautious and smart even though you are skeptical at the same time. You always make me chuckle because I remember one of your posts about your wife not being as concerned or interested as you are about the threats. I think most of us have at least one loved one like that. By the way, how does your wife feel about the 70 gallons of water?!

Thanks, Donna..glad I can add SOME small degree of levity to this bizarre jihadi opera we are all living through.

The wife actually HELPED me with the 70 gallons of water! :) Wouldv'e taken me a whole lot longer without her helping me run containers up and down the stairs. (If anyone is curious..you CANNOT move a full 20 gallon water container unless you're part orangatang! It weighs > 160 lbs as 1 gal of water is something like 8.5 lbs). So, we had to run smaller containers up and down the stairs, filling 2 gallons at a time..ugh.
