It took me 30 minutes to get back into my work yesterday...and even after that it was a hassle getting my stuff in...and moving the car...then today...they have concrete pillars in front of the front doors...and what is even crazier is that they waited until 1:00 this afternoon to put them up...

I walked right on in.

those concrete pillars will come in handy...
serving their purpose when (and if) there ever
was an attack.

many people will not be able to flee.

paranoid people under tighter mind/behavior control


i refuse to live in fear

death is inevitable
