Holy crap, a friend of mine is in Lebanon

He's in the northen part of the country, so away from the fighting, but it's still no fun. He and his wife are trying to get back home.

My friend was at a university right outside of Beruit until she was airlifted out yesterday. It made me really nervous that she was there, especially since she was so close to things (explosions kept shaking her dorm room window).

A couple of mine just got back a month ago. We are all very happy they're back.

I was wondering/worried about that. Good to hear she got out OK, Shep.

Scary stuff.

Our governor of the Central Bank is there too, so if the Belgian economy tanks, I'll know who to blame!!

Thanks. I'm still not 100% sure what went down with the airlift since she hasn't been in contact since right before she left, but hopefully I'll hear soon. Her husband is flipping out right now, let me tell you...
