Interesting they chose avenida Sexta!!! Sure am glad they didn't blow it up! Or anybody else!

Unfortuantely I see Cali as still an easy target compared to the other big cities!

If they do much more stupid **** though, I am not sure how much more they will have before the government goes in and just blows the**** out of all of them!

I heard the same thing.

A friend owns a restaurant on Sexta and says this did happen.

It isn't just Cali in this crazy world. Unless you want to spend your life hiding in your room in Des Moines, you have to get out there and do some living. It is better for me to get knocked off my feet once in a while than to live on my knees.
But that's me.
And doesn't your quote state to live life like it is your last day?
I would rather live in Cali than die in Boredom.
Here is a quote I am considering: I bet Bin Laudin can bring HIS toothpaste on flights....
