Information Flows

Yesterday evening my wife was reading BBC online and said, "Did you know there was a bombing in Jordan?" Someone had targeted an Israeli convoy on its way across the border. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. A Jordanian friend who was visiting us decided to head home, in case the police decided to set up checkpoints.

About two hours later the emergency message system at the embassy finally kicked in, notifying us that there had been a bombing and warning us to stay off that highway.

I love it!
