Rest assured, none of us want Bush "shot down" or defeated. If that's what
you needed to hear, it's probably accurate.
I'm personally still a bit freaked, hadn't realized that I'd mentioned
'Logan's Run', which I haven't seen in so many years, recently. My child
and I flew thru Boston's Logan airport to see my parents in Boston
recently. We noticed the lax security, but never thought that there was
anyone to ask or tell about it. It was just like being in a strange
place, where customs are different and people are different....
I asked my boyfriend to rent that movie for us recently, but he spaced out
in his thesis way, and forgot what movie to rent. He rented "a fish
called wanda" instead. Coincidence of course. Just painfully creepy.
Monte Carlo statistics creepy.
hope you are all well,
Tamara
