Chris came to bed. Three is only a little later than his usual bedtime.<\/p>\n
I woke up, feeling him look at me. I sleepily felt around to give him a kiss.<\/p>\n
He said, “Something important has happened.”<\/p>\n
“What is it?”<\/p>\n
“The British have captured 21 people who were planning a terrorist attack. They were going to use liquid explosives on flights to America.”<\/p>\n
“Wow. I’m really glad they caught them.”<\/p>\n
” Well, they are not sure they caught everybody. All flights from the UK are grounded. Heathrow is totaly shut down, and they say that you can’t take carry-on luggage with you anymore. Only a wallet, and no CD players or cell phones orlaptops. Not even water.”<\/p>\n
“No water?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, because the plan was to use liquid explosives. They can’t even carry car keys with them, because the car keys trasmit signals”<\/p>\n
“This is scary.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry baby, we are not flying anywhere. Not for a month, and I don’t think that the terrorist will target Bozeman. But that probably means that when we go to Germany next year, we will not make any stopovers in London.”<\/p>\n
“Man. I bet all the business people will travel to somewhere else first, and then take a short hop to London. They aren’t going to want to travel without their laptops for that long.”<\/p>\n
“That would add a lot of time to the travel. But they were talking about that on the news. That people could fly to France and then take the chunnel.”<\/p>\n
“That’s going to have a big impact on tourism for Britain. Wow.”<\/p>\n
We eventually fell asleep again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
