It's still hard to react to all of this. I just absolutely can not believe this is happening!! My heart truly goes out to all the families, workers, firefighters, police, the Presedent, and everyone that this tragedy has touched. I am really at a loss for words here. I have been able to constrain myself so far today, but after reading all these posts from all of you, all you beloved people of the Pet Talk community...I finally broke down. After seeing the power of hate, I come here and see the power of goodness. All of you have such great hearts. Even though we are all from different places, we have all come here with something in common, and it really links our lives and our hearts. Sandra, please let us know when you hear from your husband. Uncertainty can be so nerve wracking. Know that everyone lost in this senseless act is being thought of and prayed for today. Everyone on those planes and in those buildings will be remembered forever. I feel so helpless. Why is there so much hatred in the world. Many, many, many ***hugs*** to all of you and everyone touched by this tragedy.

On another note, a friend of mine just called and said that gas in her city has jumped to $8/gallon!!!
