GregF, you are right, I am not seeing "hysterical" coverage in the media. I'm curious what news you are listening to or watching.

Based on your posts and over-reaction to the media, I guess you have shown me how to use hyperbole and I slipped whe I used the word "surivor". Please forgive me. I did not expect that you would jump on such a word and declare that the sky was falling. Talk about over reaction!

I assume that you live in a rural area or another country, because you fail to grasp what happened. Walking down 50+ story buildings is a lot different than going out to the barn to check on how the cow is doing. There were deaths reported as a direct result. As for my mention of Cleveland and the water problems, the media told people what the problems were and how to cope. It doesn't take a genius to realize the potential for disease if not dealt with properly. In a city like NYC where you had MILLIONS of people trying to get to their homes.

As you pointed out we did "walk it off" and we are back in the game. I'm sorry if this news interupted your livestock reports, but there were about 50 million people who found it interesting.

Relax and try that decaf. It isn't the big deal you are trying to make it out to be. We know that. I hope you will see that too.
