Duck and Cover when a volcano erupts and the lava will flow right over you - leaving you unharmed. Heh heh heh heh... And no... I don't worry too much about the Iranian thing. It concerns me from an economic standpoint more than anything, but I figure there's always Alaska for emergency oil drilling, dontcha know...

Originally Posted By Ursula but wonderingalice, our school was so far behind the times, we had to do those drills, too!

(Why? I dunno!)

Our adoption is alittle different because his birthmom's mom is my Godmother and we see them often when we go to Portland. His birthmom lives in Palmdale, Ca. She has chosen not to see him yet.
