You are right. I'm having a bad night. I think it was watching my wife at the PO (we have to pick up our mail) sorting the mail with a mask and gloves on. We get stuff from the E. Coast. I'm very mad. I'm very very mad. I must not tell you ALL about it because I do not wish to live the rest of my days under surviellance.

You truly have lost your mind. I get mail from all over the country. I don't wear gloves or a mask. If you aren't expecting mail, don't open it. If it doesn't have a return address, don't open it. And for heaven's sake, get the mail yourself you big pu$$y!!!! If you are not afraid of dying, protect your wife!! Get a grip.

I get a lot of mail from DC and it has entered my mind that something could have been done to it but so far, so good. Titan, the company that is irradiating the mail, is located near here along with two refineries, a couple chemical plants and a tank plant, along with several reservoirs. I wonder a lot but don't dwell on it because some things we have to learn to live with. Our lives have changed since Sept. 11 and this is the new normalcy for us. Our youngsters won't know anything but what is now. We can tell them about the good old days which weren't so good at the time. That's just the way it is. I don't except terrorism; you can bet your butt I am observant now and will fight but they aren't going to do me in. I'm too important and so are you.

You are not wrong to do what you're doing. If you are mad about getting mail from the East Coast...How would you like to be right at the center of all of this?

My neighbors aren't even bring the mail "into the house" these days, but keeping it in the garage, quickly gotten rid of and they also where gloves. One of my neighbors is a Drug Researcher/MD and he advised me to use gloves taking the mail out of the mailbox, and sorting (but I admit I haven't done that)

We live within the 40+ postoffices communities that are serviced by the "TRENTON/Hamilton" facility...and we had been getting our mail through there when those anthrax loaded letters went through.

Right now they have our mail going in and out of diff facilities (our mail is so screwed up and delayed...and one of those other facilities has tested positive for anthrax-though no one is sick yet....Also they are now testing all our post offices here and I'm curious to see what happens with that.

I think this is going to become a huge contamination of postal equipment problem and the "spores" will haunt us, showing up everywhere and making people afraid. They are going to have to come up with something to "sterilize" the mail.

I'm less afraid of anthrax than some other terrible terrorist act, but hearing it on the news all the time doesn't help.
