for donating blood I would guess go uptown and stay away from the downtown area but I don't know.

AFAIK blood is not accepted from people who have genital herpes, HIV, etc. or who've eaten beef in Europe lately.

I am on echo through a DSL connection. Yes we should free up phone circuits if our calls are not urgent.

I cannot believe this. Somehow it's really happening. I can't believe it.

Just got an email from Panix:

"We have lost most of our New York City dialups. It is not clear whether or not this is related to the World Trade Center disaster, or when we will be able to fix it. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

You may have trouble reaching us in the office. Our voice phone lines there seem to be functioning, but we are going to be short-staffed today because of transportation problems."

Fire at the Washington Mall. Explosion at the State Department. All bridges and tunnels in Manhattan closed.

the pittsburgh plane crashed outside pittsburgh.

if the pilot decided to take down the plane because it was hijacked rather than take out thousands more people, him and all those passengers need to be considered martyrs.

11-SEP-01 10:45 alto artist
God, I don't know what to do. I have appointments to keep, deadlines...I'm numb and terrified.

11-SEP-01 10:45 Lala
I have no water. I assume water pressure is gone because of firefighting at Pentagon.
