[HPFGU-OTChatter] To the Londoners on the List

[Neil Ward]

<<Were any of you affected by the bombing in London today? I heard about it
this morning and have wondered/worried about y'all all day. (Well, in
between meetings at school.  We started back this week)
 And on a lighter note, we should all celebrate tomorrow because it is *my*
Mamaw Ruby's  81st birthday as well as the Queen Mum's 101st.>>

I am a little worried about my German tutor, who lives in Ealing (where the
bomb exploded).  Seven people were hurt by flying glass, but nobody was
killed.

As you can imagine, the effect on normal life goes way beyond the initial
event and its impact on individuals and their families.  We've already had a
bomb scare at Heathrow Airport (I gather), and I expect commuter hell on
Monday, as the train and tube systems grind to a halt because of "security
alerts," caused by unattended suitcases or suspicious-looking paper bags
(the rubbish bins having been removed so that devices can't be planted in
them).

Thanks, Trina.

Neil
