I am greatly saddened by the report of the disaster in London. Another truly 
dark day for the entire world.

An interesting sidebar to the cell phone problem: My wife received a call on 
her cell phone here in Michigan at 6AM this morning. The caller had a British 
accent and requested a name unknown to her. After she hung up she checked the 
list of received calls to see what number the call had originated from. It was 
recorded as being from my daughter's home near Edinburgh, Scotland. No one in 
my daughter's house placed the call. In fact, no one there has a British 
accent. I assume it was some kind of switching error caused by the problems in 
London.
