I did nothing whatsoever of value today.
Did you know September is National Preparedness Month? There’s a very helpful, government-sponsored website with printable instructions and graphics and everything. (For example, Step 3 of If There is a Biological Threat is “You will probably learn of the danger through an emergency radio or TV broadcast,” and features a useful illustration of a television, a radio, and a telephone, just to get everyone on the same page.) I picked up a brochure in Starbucks. It’s got a whole list of necessary stuff, you know, stuff you need to beat the terrorists. Moist towelettes are on the list. Also, a whistle.
Funny, Bush-ism that is - everyone should get scarred !
Incidentally, between 6,000 and 7,000 Americans died of terrorism in 2001. 15,764 Americans died of falling in 2001. Even if 10% of falls were terrorist-related, falling was still more than twice as deadly as terrorism. Why is there no National Gravity Safety Month?
