Duck and cover...
Today at precisely 13:30, all across Switzerland, the Civil Defense tested their “general alarm”, which sounded like air raid sirens to me. It was LOUD. I'm thankful that a gal in G's office sent out a little memo (which was forwarded on to me), that this was a test and only a test.
I'm not quite sure what we are supposed to do if it were an actual emergency, except maybe head for our bomb shelter in the basement. I took a look outside to see how my fellow Genevoise were reacting, and it seemed hardly anyone noticed the ear-piercing sound. The only soul that seemed bothered by the whole thing was Scout, who was looking at me with a look that said, "turn it off already!" Soon all was quiet and back to normal... which Scout appreciated. :)

What would you do if the alarm was not a drill? There are some "mean" people in this world that want to cut your head off simply cause you don't think as they do.
