4. Oh, trundling along.
The city is still odd. A constant howl of sirens as our police race to another tourist's lost luggage. It's sinking in what an incredible job our emergency services did on Thursday. They really are the heroes of this moment.

42. Actually, he did.
I remember a newspaper interview with him. He was on the front page of a lot of UK newspapers after the NY atrocities.

11. That's brilliant, Taxloss!
I'm so very sorry that this tragedy has been visited upon your city and country. We're all pulling for you here.

The world is getting smaller all the time, and we will pretty much rise or fall together. Thanks so much for your good support from "across the pond." Know that it is reciprocated!

Cheers -- :toast:

33. Yes, but Mind the Gap.
Thanks Taxloss!! I'm glad to hear that my friends in London are carrying on, showing others how to react when such a tragedy occurs: go find the bastards that did it, but get your lives back to normal as possible. :)

44. Wearing my "Underground" shirt
I'm wearing my "Underground" shirt that I got in London last year, even though it's a little snug. I traveled pretty much everywhere by Tube, even though it was in the middle of a heat wave. While I was impressed with how much it covered the city, it was kind of, well, grungy. Even so, it got me where I wanted to go.

May Brigantia protect all of her children from those who would kill in the name of their "religion". But, Londoners will get through this. I mean, we're talking people that lived through the Blitz and the IRA bombings. Like old Winnie said, "do your worst and we will do our best."

47. I wore my t-shirt with the map of the Underground all weekend.
Loved my stay in London and went everywhere on the tube. It's sad to think of your beautiful city in distress.
