Just a note to my vet friends
if you are prone to flashbacks... the weapons fire in Cairo might trigger them.

Watch with care.

I was ducking.

1. I have not seen these videos but I can only imagine they are awful...
I can't imagine reliving that horror via flash back....

3. Yes, as I watched I realized that I had not seen coverage like this
since the Vietnam war. Graphic. I think this is even more vivid that watching Dan Rather in that era because it is live. We are not just watching a video of one action - we are seeing and hearing all of it right in front of us. I have reasons to have flash backs but I can tell you that it is upsetting me. So wired I cannot go to sleep. I am going to be afraid to turn on my tv tomorrow morning. Gotta pray for the best I guess.

4. Keep on to print
they are saying they expect more clashes right now.

And I was ducking.... not quite hitting the deck. I will live with it, I s'pose

5. Just realized I said I had reason for flash backs. I meant to say I
had no reason for flash backs and the visuals still upset me.

6. Oh no worries
Last night I had a hell of a time going to sleep... but once I fell asleep, fortunately I did not wake in the middle of the night!
