fair enough and thanks for the welcome!

now i will say this. i live in nyc, heart of it, and there's an muslim-owned convenient store across the street from my house. looking out, i started to notice the store closed at odd times. in fact, just before one of the conjectured dates of attack, i noticed the store not open for a couple of days. kind of worried me. after a few days, it reopened, and i went over to get a beer and chat with the dude who owned the place. saw that he had his arm in a cast and turns out he had been in an accident and his son was on his honeymoon and couldn't open the store for him. i was quite glad to have had my suspicions for the moment proven unfounded. and i made a promise to myself to try not to think of things in terms of 'the storefront's closed, the muslims must have left town' because that would have gotten me all panicked and prevented me from taking a deep breath. just my two cents.

i want us all to be vigilant, but not panicked!!!
