Decloaking to send condolences to all in the US and to everyone who lost family and friends after the day of terror. We are unutterably sad for a world in which such things can happen. We feel directly involved, as we have family staying here from New York, and they may be here for a long time still. Their flight home was supposed to be on Wednesday. I have subscribed to this list for years, and feel almost as if I know many of you, and I hope you take some solace from the thought that most of us around the world are with you at this time. Last night we sat quietly with a lighted candle, and listened to Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto, the second movement. It brought us a sense of peace. By the way, so as to include the word, I have been growing chiles for years here in the Algarve, the most southerly province of Portugal. The climate is perfect for chiles: equivalent to US Zone 14 I was told. take care piri "The horror! The horror!" Joseph Conrad
