Emergency Sirens and Killer Dust

The city's emergency sirens howled like old air raid sirens. The 6 year olds and I stared out the window looking for something to happen. My Co-Teacher made us continue explaining this was a regular exercise. She said it happens about every 15th of the month. I don't remember this happening since I've been here. I was kind of excited to see something happen, and almost let down that there weren't any dog fights overhead.

Also, there is news of killer yellow sandstorms from evil China. Apparently this happens a couple times a year. We are supposed to wear masks, and avoid being outside.

  1. Airraid sirens... not good!

    funny thing is, when i go biking down to homestead, there are signs near the power plant that say "in case of siren, turn on local news". yeah, if you hear those sirens going, i don't think you'll even get a chance to react before you become a crispy (or glowing) critter.

    some of the undergrads were looking for some updated contact info for you (your cell # wasn't working)... i told them you might be a little hard to contact right now. Pig is coming up next month. we'll all miss you there!
