*NYC. On Friday when I left my big banker-type building in Midtown, I was greeted by several machine gun wielding police officers. While I am generally one of the "try everything once" types of people, I can say with certainty that being within touching distance of a machine gun was one experience that was not missing from my life. Also, hearing my superiors discuss who gets sent to our New Jersey offices in late August "in case something happens" just warms my heart. As does returning to the office to see "Terror Threat: Companies Prepare" on CNN along with a picture of the outside of my building.

Winner slighted in contest story
Editor: I am wondering why, when Smith Brothers of Colby won the pork cooking contest held during Hub City Days, their name and picture were not in the headline, instead of at the end of the story. I think that was very unfair.

Let's compare! What's in the "Go-Bag" under your desk? I have a roll of duct tape, a flashlight-radio, a sharpie, matches, a hooded disney sweatshirt, some powerbars and a strawberry gatorade. In case, you know, food gets, like, contaminated. Wait, I think I ate the powerbars. I guess if push comes to shove, I can always use the matches to start a campfire and cook the flesh of the deceased...
actually, all i've got is three pairs of heels and some rumpled papers that were probably tasks i was supposed to take care of but forgot about. they don't care about me. oh well, if i'm gonna go at least it'll be in the company of designer footwear.
