Driving without enough sleep is too dangerous!
It's not worth the risk.

A philosopher named Bill Watterson once wrote
"Be careful or be roadkill."  This applies to
both drivers and chickens crossing the road.
(Incidentally, "Calvin and Hobbes" was named
after two philosophers.)

I remembered that Larry works at Macy's,
since he was the grandmaster of the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day parade.  Since he working
at Macy's, he must not be in the WTC.  As
a result, he must be o.k.  Anyway, this was
my logical/illogical thinking.

Glad everyone on the mailing list is o.k.

The Hulk.

Albert Moy, an art dealer who you may have
seen at Wondercon and San Diego Comic Con,
posted one of the most amazing stories regard-
ing the WTC tragedy to the Comicart-L mailing
list:

Perhaps more people could have been saved if
there weren't announcements over the loud-
speakers, saying that there was no danger.
Both buildings had these announcements.
