If I can overlook the reason for their presence, I need to note a nice benefit to Jimbo regarding the current situation in DC. DC and National Airport is crawling with beefy, hunky Federal Marshalls ans special agents. They provide a pleasant distraction to the homosexual male population of the DC Metro region.
National is still a ghost town, and they're closing most of the terminals completely tomorrow to save expenses. We don't really know when we'll open again, but I'll still have a job as Dulles still needs a Web page. I'm changing the site around like mad keeping up with the alerts and changes. They think there'll be a 10% layoff with the Authority and with my contracting company. People are kind of glum right now, but I'm happy my job is somewhat secure. We have to go with what the FAA says, so we can't make a decision to open. Bondholders and local business interests want to keep the annual 5 billion in cash flowing freely, and are feverishly lobbying all over the place.
Some friends are just beginning to deal with things. I think because of my proximity to the Penagon disaster, and the panic on Tuesday, that I've dealt a lot earlier. I'm sleeping better now, but a lot of my friends are cranky or just plain panicky. We don't know if we should prepare for the worse, hope things get better, or what.

Bob just got back from NYC and he said the same things about the hunky firemen, policemen and EMS workers at Ground Zero. He said they are just the butchest guys you would ever want to see. He said they make the Results queens look like little girls. I said, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders make the Results queens look like little girls.
