Dunno if you know about this guy Stanislav Petrov but he saved humanity by pretty much doing nothing. I like Heroes as much as the next guy but this, as real life, is something else.

To make a long story short, due to a bunch of insane coincidences, the Soviet Union 'round this time in '83 thought the US launched all our nukes at them and he was ordered to counterstrike with all of their nuclear weapons.

He refused. Because he wasn't insane.

He knew we woulda launched against them for the same reasons. Then, he lost his career for saving the world. How's that for a thank you?

I too did almost nothing today but I didn't save humanity because of it.

I did manage to get a haircut though.

I'm going to Oktoberfest on my own for the last three days and I just spent the last three hours trying to book a hotel.

My German has gone to crap.

I was reading this article about the Amish girls that were killed the other day. The first to die was a 13-year old named Marian Fisher who asked "Shoot me first." Her younger sister Barbie then said "Shoot me second." Barbie survived. The thing is that that these kids never watched TV nor movies - they didn't learn to be brave by why some actor taught them. They just were brave.

It's hard being a Christian in the city - I do admit, I enjoy my sinful life a bit more than I should. But these are people who are at peace, even when they're not.

It's also hard having faith and being brave. I'm 20 years older than that girl was and half as brave (if that).

Maybe I just need a little more faith.
