yo cherubs: I know for alot of folks the explosion near grand central brought up some old anxieties about terrorism, mortality, vulnerability, etc. May I humbly offer a suggestion? When in doubt, assume, the same old same old. Pipes burst, things happen and if we all remain calm and DON'T assume that the bad guys are after us, we win, they lose. As they say, when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras...think ordinary, not unusual and there will be a whole lot less fear in your life. And for heaven's sake, do not spend a minute of your precious life being anymore afraid than you have to be and don't waste a moment seeing "I now pronounce you chuck and larry." talk about pollution...
