Confused in Boise

From the Washington Post. Our top story tonight: Boise has been rated one of the top 10 major cities that would likely suffer grievously if attacked by terrorists according to a newly released study commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security. The deliberate setting of wildfires or blowing up a nearby reservoir causing massive flooding are the primary risks.

At the Fancy Pants boutique in downtown Boise, sales associate Katie Bohannon said she wasn't feeling particularly vulnerable. "I'm less scared than I am confused," she said. "I don't really see why Boise would be on the top of that list."

Why indeed? One can only wonder if any of the researchers have actually been to Boise...

Meanwhile, here in the Emerald City (which placed #87 in the survey) all is well. Marian Harrigan was paroled from Virginia Mason yesterday and is one mighty happy camper to be back in her own digs. It will be awhile before she's fully recovered; but she is doing well.

The weather has turned cooler again and it's supposed to sprinkle off-and-on all weekend. Terry and I are going to the Seattle Art Museum today to look at a bunch of Roman artifacts on loan from the Louvre.

Cheers!
