They probably won't get me, because I am out here in the woods with very few people around and that's where I'll ring in the New Year. But I can't help wonder where. Where will they hit? Money couldn't buy my presence in Times Square, NY,NY.

I doubt if I could think like a terrorist, but tall towers like the ones in New York, the Seattle Space Needle and the big one in Vegas are places that cross my mind. I'm sure the authorities are better at supposin' than I am. I just hope they nip it, as Barney said, in the bud.

You're absolutely right. One time I went to D.C. when Congress was not in session and you could park anywhere you wanted to. Except for a few tourists, it looked like nobody was home.
