Current Danger Zones and My Family

With one grandson working in Libya, with his wife and baby son there too, and with another grandson studying in Mexico City for one semester (part of his junior year at West Point), I try to keep up with what’s transpiring in those areas. I wrote to Robby to suggest they stay out of the streets in Tripoli, and discovered him and his family at Malta, which they like to visit. Friends are keeping him clued in about conditions “back home.”

My guess is that West Point is keeping an eye out for the safety of its students abroad. But I’ll be glad when both grandsons are safely back in the States.

One of my sons is working in western Australia and his wife is with him. That sounds like a much safer place to be at the present time. The countries that speak English—because England was once there—seem safer for Americans.

There is really no safe place anymore, is there? But of the places that exist, the USA is the very best place on earth to be.
