I work at a military base in Maine. We have been closed down. Only essential personnel to remain. Guards with loaded guns and Jersey Barriers securing the main gate. I am home and waiting to be called in.

I am so relieved that Mary is safe. Now where are the others? I have a message from Lynn Noel looking for news from her Chanteyfolk. I think some of them are 'Catters but some are not.

I feel no anger at our attackers. I am sad that they feel the need to take such measures. I cannot condone an attack on anyone as an answer to what has happened. I believe that there is more horror in the future. Lives will be lost but that will not bring back those who have died today nor will it rebuild the shattered lives that must go on from today.

I don't have an answer. Nobody does.
