I Am Fine

So today I learn what it is like to live in a big city. I awoke to learn that a bus had been bombed this morning and that four underground stations had experienced problems due to massive power surges. The undergound is shut down, I hear sirens everywhere and the news is going nonstop. I passed a couple of bus queues on my way here and the crowds were ungodly. I can't imagine how horrible it is going to be to try to get anywhere today. I think I may suck it up and cab it to Kensington and just hang out over there today.

It's a scary feeling right now, though, to know that something so random could happen to you. The newscasters discussed the front of the British Medical Association building being spattered with blood from the bus explosion just like the busses I was so happy to be on yesterday. And Russell Square is an area that had come highly suggested to my by the nice cab driver as safe and quiet to stay in.

What a scary world we live in.
