Rode the Motron to campus today to give an exam. By the time the exam was over, a thunderstorm broke and I had to ride home - w/ exams to grade - in the rain. I got some moisture in the carb, and Motron fought me all the way home.
I'm staying indoors today, flipping between CNN and FOX News on TV. I've too much work to do (grading more than 140 exams) to do much warblogging (after all, debate and speculation is pointless now that war is underway). But I'll try to put together news digests. In the meantime, read Salam Pax. He's still blogging from downtown Baghdad.

Baghdad was partially destroyed today, and your friend Salam Pax has not posted since 7:30 in the morning (his time). Is he OK?

Others are commenting on their weblogs about the same thing. I hope Salam Pax (not his real name, for obvious reasons) is OK. I sent him an email wishing him well. I encourage others to do so. If someone really wishes to express solidarity w/ the Iraqi people, here's one direct way to do it.

While I've not yet heard from Salam Pax, I'm not sure if Baghdad is "partially destroyed". CNN and other TV channel webcams and such just showed Iraqi rush hour traffic and people going to work. If true, it could mean that the bombing was indeed quite limited to only specific areas of the city. I hope that's the case.
