I'm feeling like a magnet for trouble
My wife was in NYC on 9/11 in lower Manhattan.
I was in the same candy store where there was a terrorism incident a few weeks later in Sydney.
I was in the places in Istanbul attacked by terrorists.
I strolled the same streets attacked in Paris.
I was in Bali but years after the terrorist bombing there.
Today we're running last minute errands in Union County, NJ and encounter all kinds of police barricades in Linden. That's where they had the shootout with the guy who put the bombs in NY and NJ.
I had been sleeping in Clark, about 5 minutes from Linden.
Let's hope Lisbon, Gibraltar, Barcelona, Mallorca, and other coastal cities of Spain remain incident free for the next few weeks while I'm there.

Re:
thanks Mike...
Has anyone seen the Amazon Video original series: "Man in the High Castle"?
scary !@#$...the story line is that it takes place in what used to be the USA during the 1960's...the Allies lost to the Axis, so the US is divided into 3 sections:
Japan controls from the West Coast up to the Rockies;
Germany controls from the East Coast up to the Rockies;
The Rockies is considered the "Neutral Zone", which is neither the domain of either evil power...

Re:
Wow that was a right turn off subject..
I know Ive told you I always stayed at the Comfort Inn off Route 7 in Rutland a few doors from the bowling alley on my way to Maine.. took the ferry.. when I was the East Coast Rep for a video company back in 2000.
Nice hotel, nice peeps, always ate at an Italian place with decent food across the street and could pick up WFAN in the parking lot.
Always found the Vermonters nice while the Maine people hated New Yorkers
