before I start my post about our trip to dublin I just wanted to let you know about an email I just received.  Most if not all campuses in the states atleast have some sort of email notification about crime alerts.  Suspicious people, gang activity, fights, etc.  Well I just received an email from the garda (police) about a missing black nike duffle bag.   VERY funny to me, maybe not to you.  But it amy show the difference in culture.
