One of the reasons I’ve been staying away from friends is that everyone seems to know exactly when we’re going to be bombed.  lots of people are even gambling on the exact moment the barrage begins.  All this frightens me even more than the fact that my kids don’t have shelters.  We’re fatalists.  

I was very proud of the fact that I had not binged at the supermarket, that I’m not holocaust-determined.  Then I watched the news.  And I got online and bought out the store. 

I’m a really bad gambler.
