I'm safe and okay - in spite of it all

In case anyone hears via CNN or Yahoo about the suicide bomb that just went off in Khanaqin - I'm alive and well and up in Suli to wait out the elections. There are massive amounts of security up here and in fact, a strict curfew has been placed on the city starting from tonight and lasting through Monday morning. We're in a safe location here, and while anything can happen, I think as long as we are not near a polling station, the chances are pretty high we won't be seeing any violence near our office. And no - I don't think there are any polling stations in the immediate vicinity. Good times.
