More on living with threats
I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I had been in London. I was staying with a cousin in the Shepherds Bush neighborhood in West London. Turns out that the day of the initial bombings there, they found an unexploded bomb on the bridge over Uxbridge Road at the Shepherds Bush Station on the Hammersmith & City Line, a couple blocks from my cousin's apartment. He happens to work in the opposite direction, but he often walks by or uses that station to get downtown. It was a bit of a scare for him, but his attitude and that of the few other people I talked to it about was similar to the attitude of my fiance and other New Yorkers - you can't live your life in fear, the chances are probably small it will be you so you just get on with things. I certainly decided - and so did others - to visit London after the bombings had occurred.
