Well, I can tell ‘ya that the first thing that crossed my mind was some sort of terror event. One of Tom Clancy’s books “Teeth of the Tiger” involved a terror attack on The Barracks Shopping Center in Charlottesville ... that’s the first thing that popped to my mind when I heard there was an explosion in C’ville .... good book by the way.
We had messages flying around the family last night after the explosion(s) in New York. My niece is a freshman at a school there this year & was one block over & six blocks down (6 minutes walking) from the explosion. She was fine in her dorm room, but that’s just way too close for comfort.
