Just driving around town today, I detected a weird feeling of panic, fear, and/or anxiety (take your pick) in the "air."
Many of the people I encountered today, especially in the afternoon and evening, looked afraid and scared.
I think it may be a combination of the heart-breaking news from New Orleans and the other areas hard hit by Hurricane Katrina -- plus the worries of fuel prices and potential gas shortages -- and their possible economic impact.
Has anyone else picked up this "vibe" of fear/panic/anxiety in their area, or is it just me?
I try to be an optimistic person myself, so I think in the near future, the issues of oil prices and supplies will soon improve, but I do realized it will be a very difficult and long road for the poor folks directly impacted by Katrina.
