Aerospace on Alert
A plane is flying overhead as I type this (from Holly's laptop at Hazel House). This is usual around here, so close to Heathrow, but today it's been quiet. Too quiet. I only found out why a few hours ago. It's also why I always check BBC News as m first site when I log onto the internet.

Well, I'm not going to call this either way, but it's been given major news status, so people are taking it pretty seriously. The unusually empty skies give it an extra weight as well. I'm thankful I'm not flying anywhere today, but I hope those planning to fly to Amecon tommorrow can do so! That goes to anyone flying anywhere, of course...

My own laptop is being veheremtly annoying at the moment, playing all kinds of games with the wireless network, the internet and itself. I got rather stressed last night, but hopefully we can sort things out. I need to stop (metaphorically) bumping into walls.

Aaah, doom and despair. It's all too easy to focus on the negative.

The local kitties are cute. Irn bru is tasty. Amecon is tommorrow.
Life isn't black and white, nor is it greyscale, or even the full spectrum. It can be many colours, all at the same time...

What does Barry Scott have to do with this?

If you can't see the connection between Cillit Bang and international terrorism there's no helping you.

Here's a remarkably readable paper on why terrorism isn't such a big deal after all and we'd do better to just, er, ignore it and focus on things like cutting down road accidents and stuff.
