Nice shot. It's my view on weekday mornings. I work in there.

Dar, it's been mentioned as a terrorist target. How do the people that work there feel? Do they talk about it? Joke about it? Has the mood changed with the passage of time since 9/11/01?

People were a lot more anxious right after. It's mellowed out somewhat since then. The reaction varied a lot by person. Some folks were really freaked out in the beginning.

But the city and the building owners have been great about improving security. The city no longer allows flights over the loop area and the owners put in metal detectors, card readers, and barriers on the outside, not to mention the raft of security people. They've got the metal detectors set so high that even small change sets it off.

I'm not worried too much personally, because the place I work is on the 10, 11, and 12th floors. I figure that's too high to be gotten by a car bomb and too low to be immediately affected by a plane. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

When I think about it, like now, I do wonder if I'm acting like the Atreides in Dune. There's a section where the author remarks that they lived with danger so long that they failed to notice a change in its intensity. I hope we don't get to be like that.

But, I don't worry about it often enough to consider changing jobs. Plus it's a great company and I've got a great commute. My house is three blocks from the train station and the Sears tower is just across the river from Union station. It's about a half hour from door to door when I get the express - and I spend most of that playing The Legend of Zelda on my GBA.
