By far one of the most amazing side-effects of the events this morning are the complete lack of air-travel. People living in cities see planes in the sky every few minutes. To look up and just see the sky and realize how major this whole thing is is an amazing thing. Usually a plane goes overhead here every 5 minutes. It's surreal right now. -- And for all the hataz on the list, this has never happened before on US soil, and major places no longer exist. So it's a pretty big thing. ------- eggytoast.com ------- what? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
