You'll have to forgive me; even though everybody around here knows I'm an oldster, even I wasn't around when Egypt, etc. were reclaimed.
Allow me a little time to be absolutely gobsmacked. And bereft.
I've been asked a question by my studio audience:
How many died in the tsunami?
~LOL~ just commenting that nothing is ever for ever. We could be hit here in Arizona by a meteor tomorrow and that would change the whole world. As I age, I learn that we have to be self-sufficient and we have to realize that change happens... and sometimes for a reason... I suspect as bad as this is right now, it could turn out to be a good thing down the line... depends on how we all step up to the plate as American's and I don't like the example of looting.
