and, to be safe, inside your apartment make yourself a little ‘safe area’ all zippered off in plastic. don’t bring any clothes in there — could have bugs. just get in naked. in fact, there should probably be a anteroom/dressing area outside the safe room — and that needs to be in plastic too.
Lee Child – “Gone Tomorrow” was the book, set in NYC. Now I have to read the other 13 of his books. I wanted to read a contemporary thriller to answer something someone and I were disagreeing about, about how violent an ending is acceptable in fiction. This definitely fit the case!
No I don’t think anybody is impervious to rational argument, including Rob. This bedbug thing is crazy — just figure it out and deal with it. Different places have discovered bedbugs and what do they do? They hire specialists who treat the premises. One good thing is that Rob is getting information (from the right sources I hope – call Guido for Chrissakes) but to freak out about it is a total waste of energy.
