It's funny, Nikki, but I was thinking something kinda similar while watching CNN. In the frame, as the announcer was talking, the emergency workers were talking and working together -- and many of them were smiling and laughing with one another. Somehow, that gave me more hope, and more pride in humanity, than anything else I'd seen. That something so frightening could happen, and the people whose job it was to respond could do so with enough confidence to laugh together -- well, I felt so reassured by it, somehow, as though what had happened, horrible as it was, was something we could all recover from.
Damos speaks for those from Oz, and I'll say it for Californians: We stand with you, toe to toe, arm in arm, and we will all survive, without fear.
I'm glad you're OK, Nikki. You mean the world to us here.
