It's been quite a day

          I read Carols post and I too live and work in the DC area and am 
still stunned by the recent events.My house is less than four miles from the 
pentagon and we still smell the acrid smoke.I was at the dentist yesterday 
morning when I heard the news about the WTC.By the time I got home and turned 
the news on I felt and heard a loud bang that shook my house.I then heard 
that the pentagon had been hit.I had a tuning scheduled at the Dirksen Senate 
office bldg. for later in the day that was cancelled.I still attempted to get 
across town to our warehouse so I could prep the concert grands going out 
later this week.A trip that would usually take twenty minutes took over two 
hours.Panic and blocked roads around the Pentagon and National Airport fouled 
everything up.I would hate to think what it would be like if the whole city 
had to be evacuated.Today I learned that one of my neighbors was on the plane 
that crashed into the Pentagon.I also learned that all the events scheduled 
for my pianos have been cancelled.
       I tuned four pianos today,and comisserated with my customers,found all 
area Starbucks closed,and wish we could all just get back to business as 
usual.Canceling everything and closeing stores is just what the terrorists 
want.Going on with our daily life undaunted,although difficult,is the real 
patriotic thing to do.
      I can see now in the future when I go to tune at government 
buildings,includeing the White House,I should expect rigourus and extensive 
security...at least I hope so.
                                                                     
Respectfully  Robin Olson RPT
