For those that have emailed me or otherwise contacted me, I am ok and no one is injured. In case you missed it we had a huge explosion very near. It was actually closer to the new campus and even damaged part of the wall there but no one from the here was hurt. The target was a U.S. convoy and the bad guys succeeded there in that they took out 6 military, 5 U.S. and 1 Canadian, colonels. They also killed a larger number of Afghans as is usually the case.
As this was the first attack within miles, this was the first time our security procedures had been tested. They worked flawlessly, I must say. Great job guys! Also thanks to the U.S. Army Engineers who constructed the wall on the new property. The wall took a big portion of the blast and folks who were running on the track inside the walls said they did not even get any debris. They did, however, have a case of ringing ears from the loud noise.
