i do not wish to have to explain to my child why i do not let her play outside. frankly, i am thrilled it is raining today so i know we won't broach the subject. but even i am nervous about going out and about on my daily errands. shit. pumping gas has become a risky activity around here; and anytime i see a white van, i freeze. it is bad enough we had the terrorists plow into the pentagon a year ago; now this.
