I guess this is the first of its kind in 7 years, so this is a pretty big thing. Of course, I didn't hear about it until just now. It doesn't necessarily mean there'll be open war (I think N Korea would be wary of Open war because of how many guns they'd have pointed down their throats)

It's a little scary to know that the unstable force a couple hundred miles north of me is doing things like this. This is exactly why my Mom had said she didn't want me coming here at first.

No South Koreans were hurt (no news about anyone from the North) but Kim Jong Il may be getting trigger happy as he ages.

So... Yeah, it's a bit unnerving.
