The Department of State is observant

So in like eighth grade my friend Freya (yes, weird having to qualify "Freya," but I guess at this point not everyone knows each other) used to tell me how observant I was when I would (honest to God) make comments like "Oh, the sky is blue today," or "That guy on that bicycle is wearing a pink shirt," for almost no apparent reason. (Actually come to think of it I still do this almost all the time.) So apparently I picked this up from the habits of the Department of State, which sent what I imagine will be one of its final emails to me and everyone else who was in Lebanon this morning. Har har. Apparently it is wise to "avoid travel to Lebanon." Thanks. For your viewing pleasure:

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut advises Americans in Lebanon that, following the July 28 departure of a ship for Cyprus, we do not anticipate further ship departures. Most Americans who wished to depart Lebanon with U.S. government assistance have done so. The Department of State urges American citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon and Americans currently in Lebanon to leave.
The U.S. Embassy is continually assessing reports of a small number of remaining American citizens who may still need assistance with departure. Americans should monitor the local radio (105.5 FM), local media, and the Embassy internet website (http://lebanon.usembassy.gov/) for updates and future guidance. The U.S. Embassy, with support from the U.S. Department of State, will do everything possible to facilitate the departure of American citizens from Lebanon. American citizens who have not already done so may register with the Embassy online by visiting https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs.
The U.S. Embassy is able to advise Americans in southern Lebanon on a case-by-case basis depending on their specific location and circumstances. American citizens in southern Lebanon who require U.S. government assistance in departing Lebanon should remain in contact with the U.S. Embassy for further guidance. Family members in the United States of these individuals may contact the Department of State if they have information on their specific location.
Due to the ongoing security concerns in Lebanon, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut has been granted ordered departure status, which means family members and non-emergency American employees have been ordered to depart Lebanon. The Embassy is maintaining normal hours of operation in order to carry out vital political, humanitarian and consular duties. The U.S. Department of State continues to work around the clock to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens. The Department of State urges anyone with information on American citizens remaining in Lebanon to contact the U.S. Embassy in Beirut or the Lebanon Task Force in Washington, DC at 1-202-501-4444 (if calling from overseas) or at 1-888-407-4747, if calling from the U.S. and Canada.
