And you thought your day was going to be exciting ...

This morning Steve forwarded this message that the monastery outside Nairobi had received from the American Embassy:

The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi wishes to inform U.S. citizens that the United Nations (UN) in Nairobi will be conducting a mass-casualty drill, to include pyrotechnics, today, Thursday, May 21, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.  People in the vicinity of UN main gate, which is directly opposite the U.S. Embassy main entrance, will likely hear explosions and gun shots (which will contain blanks) and see colored smoke. The UN main gate will be closed to all traffic during this time.  Please do not be alarmed at these sounds and sights during this time. 

Steve had added this PS … and do not be alarmed by the mushroom cloud and the blood.
