yes. people are terrorized is what I am hearing.

I have one sis who is a little more fatalistic about it and the other is a worrier (me, too). She called my nephew to warn him days ago and he gave her one of those "yeah, Ok, mom, whatever you say" type of responses. I think he probably knows the severity of this now.

It's strange, though. You'd be surprised at how many people probably don't even know this is going on. One of the dental techs (my kids had an appt. today) didn't even know about the shootings and had heard nothing! Said she works late.

Some people live in caves, I guess. Makes me thankful for everybody here.
