Merry Christmas to all! I hope tonight you are happy and well! Check out NORAD tracks Santa. It's so cute!

Wouldn't it be nice if we still believed Santa Claus was real? Those were such innocent days.

DoD News Briefing - Secretary Rumsfeld and Gen. Myers for 12/23/2002. This is where Rumsey talks about the US fighting on two fronts, Iraq and North Korea. Scary!!!
Short posts for awhile. I'm over my posting limit by a couple of days, I should be at 69% and I'm at 79%. That's why linking is better than copying I guess.
I decided after long talks with friends over the weekend, that now is not a good time to move. Too many uncertainties in my life right now including my job, and what's going to happen once we go to war with Iraq. There will no doubt be retalliation from the Iraqis, it's just a matter of when and how many times. Who knows what more 9/11 disasters will do to the US economy, not to mention everyone's peace of mind. A friend is afraid of a nuclear strike, although I doubt that will happen. I'm more afraid of a biological or chemical weapon, or a dirty bomb.

Although SF is a high profile target, all the conspiracy/psychic futurists say it's either going to Colorado, Chicago or DC, or all three. Chicago because of The Chicago Board of Trade, which deals in agricultural and financial futures and options. Colorado because that's where the US government has their underground city in case of a nuclear attack. And DC, well because it's the capital.

Then there's the crisis happening in Korea. That's a major hot spot, and people are saying that right when we're in the middle of the iraqi war, North Korea will explode a nuclear device near the DMZ. China will probably take Taiwan and we'll let it go, and if the US has to fight a ground war against North Korea, it will be messy since our resources will already be stretched too thin from the war in Iraq. I'm not looking forward to watching the body bags come home on TV every night.

It's going to be an interesting 2003, whatever happens, and it seems prudent to stay put for now until the dust settles.
