The networks are issuing conflicting reports

nothing as

Doesn't the pentagon hold many many people as well?
The heart of Washington D.C. OTOH is apparently
being (relatively) quitely
evacuated. I don't know how the key government agencies can function if
they're
not going to work, however. They've shut
down the CIA, the NSA, and other
security-related agencies. You (Jeff) can probably provide more detail,
since
you're there.
I'm sure the core parts of the agencies are working very hard right
now. They'll be in the field and in other lesser known offices. If
another plane hit the main offices of our security agencies, with our
people inside, then we would be in a lot more trouble. It's better to
have them in other places.
I note that Dubya is on the tube. I wonder where they set him down. He
was in
the air when this happened. Likewise, Colin
Powell apparently turned
around
from his trip to Columbia, or wherever he was
going.
I haven't seen him yet. I did just see Arafat. He looked shocked,
althoughm he might be a good actor too? Don't know, just speculating.

No offense intended, but can't you turn off the HTML/RTF mode in your email
editor? Lotsa folks can't enjoy/fully-experience your contributions if you use
RTF. (I don't know who started the RTF format, but I keep having to turn it
off.)

Yes, please. It looks nice, but makes it hard to reply too, as well.
When I hit Reply, it won't quote the HTML a lot of the times.

Here in the OKC metro, much of the area around the capitol and the
government buildings near it has been evacuated and closed to the public,
"just in case".
I don't know if it's a lack of supply or an excess of demand, but most of
the gas stations here have run out of gas to dispense. The few remaining
places have jacked their prices up over $4.00/gal. Prices here have been
hovering around $1.50/gal, which is already expensive by our local
standards.

And you have a major AF base there too besides other high profile things so
I'm sure it's tense there just 6 yrs after the federal bldg disaster.

Strange. I got gas at 1.34/gallon for 87 octane on my way home
from work - filled up before the prices go up. All the
"big"
chains (7-11, Tigermarket, etc) were packed, but my neighborhood
store was fine.

Here in Michigan everybody went to the pump, while I was at work, I
heard... I'm on 2nd shift. I topped off my tank after work....only 3
gallons. I heard somone at one of the oil companies made a statement
that they didn't know when there next shipment of oil was coming in,
combined with everyone thinking that this attack is from the middle
east.
I have head of prices being as high a $4.00 per gallon, but heare in
town it's about 2.00.
Someone at work said they heard it was $11 in one place in Indiana.....
I wouldn't buy it at that price.

The lines at the pumps were really long here in Denver last evening. I heard
about one already-closed CONOCO station having a posted price of $4.499 on its
signs. Fortunately, I was able to top off at $1.59.

Plenty of gas, no shortage, no need for higher
prices - you're just seeing gouging by the gas
stations.
Still $1.34 here in Austin this morning.
