"When everyone else is hightailing it for the safety of home I will be fighting the crowds in the opposite direction to get to work, gear up and deploy"

I'm staying home.
If there's still electricity - I'm putting on a movie.
If the electricity is down - I'm opening the freezer, getting out all the frozen meat, firing up the BBQ, and inviting the neighbors over for a block party. Hopefully the beer is still cold. Hahahahaha!

The best way to defeat fear - is to enjoy yourself :-)

But I will drink a toast to those guys who fought their way to the workplace.
Hahahahaha!
