On Bombings, Near and Far
First off, obviously, I hope that anyone reading this who might be in London is safe and well, and that all of our loved ones are safe and well.
I'm also wondering if anyone in any other metropolises have noticed heightened security on public transport in recent days. I was just talking with a colleague, and she and I agreed on seeing a "coincidence" in the recent heightened security presence in our subway system and the bombings in London today. She believes she's noticed the increase in security personnel in our subways over the past week. I know I've been seeing a much more visible presence in the past two or three days.
Just yesterday, leaving work, I bumped into not one, but four cops at just one entrance to the 34th Street subway station. And saw firemen (yes, FIREMEN, wtf?) at another station we passed. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
But I think they had an inkling something was going to happen, somewhere. Who knows. Maybe something else is going to happen, somewhere. Lord.
So, any DC similarities? Anyone else in NYC notice the increase in cops? Any other cities?

oo..NY fireman..so hunky in those suspenders...
Perhaps you are a some sort of medium for disaster..Oh, that could go in so many directions! :)
Am very saddened by the recent attacks and am very curious to see what the reaction of the EU will be? If anything...
Slightly unnerving about the threats to Denmark and Italy, especially with my upcoming trip to Roma. Oh well, we must keep on keeping on. If they disrupt our lives, then they win.
Onward Christian..ahem..People of the Book...soldiers...

What? Threats to Denmark? I just learnt some useful Danish the other night.
Not, of course, that that's why I would be upset at threats to the country.
Darn. Must go back to NYT or else solicit more information from buddies. (hint, hint)
I wonder what the latest is in London. Time to read the news again. Am using the International Herald Tribune, BBC and NYT...

I think they have some soldiers in Afghanistan so there is random belligerence.
