09/16/2001 Entry: "Another Day in Santa Rose"
Today I wandered around Santa Rosa for a while. Bing and I went to the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, then Bing took the car into San Francisco to get some noodles (140 miles for some noodles ! I hope its worth it !) I stayed behind to relax a little and hack. I got bored after a little bit and wandered around the town a little bit. The weather was extremely nice, and I probably got a 5 or 6 mile walk in. I think it did a lot to burn off some excess stress. I came back and hacked some more.
I talked to my parents and they told me someone from my highschool is missing after the attack. I also found out that the chaos and bomb threats extended to at least my hometown. As far as I know, nothing like that happened in the Santa Rosa / Petaluma area.
Our flight is still scheduled to take off tomorrow. It's a nonstop from San Francisco to Baltimore. I'm a little worried about the same sort of attack happening with longrange East-bound flights.
I'm actually more worried about what its going to be like in Ballston when I get back. Are there going to be troops deployed in my neighborhood ? Am I going to be able to walk around freely, or will I need to show some ID at each corner ? I'm sure I'm overreacting, and by the time I get back, the Ballston area will look the same as I left it.
Except of course, for the vandelism I'm assuming has been dished out on my car because of the "Vote Green: Overgrow the Government" bumpersticker that's been taunting people for almost a week now. I'm planning on removing the sticker once I get home out of respect for the firefighters and rescue workers who were killed.
