Living in a country at war

For those of you who are not historically inclined, Korea is still technically at war. Korean War

It sort of made me smile a little when I heard the first air raid siren around the middle of March. I'm living in a country at war. Not like in the states, where we are at war in a more imperial sense...like Napoleon was at war in Russia (And how did that go?). South Korea is still technically at war and I'm 30 miles from the front lines.

I smiled slightly less last weekend when I read this. Now, don't get me wrong, I am FAR from concerned or anything. It is what it is, and I realize that. But, the idea of being in a city 40 miles away from the last Stalinist state with a certifiably insane person who has a couple dirty nukes....far out. If he gets Alec Baldwin on his side, we're all fucked.
