Where Were You?

My wife and I were on a cruise ship out of Seattle headed for Alaska and there many international travelers on the cruise. One thing that struck me was no matter the nationality everyone knew this was an attack on us all. We’ve all heard much about the “9/12” spirit that existed after the attack and wishes we could somehow put this current divisiveness aside and rekindle that same spirit. When on various forums I follow there’s always opportunities for offering a counterpoint, perhaps not to persuade but merely to argue. I’ve tried to reply simply “9/12” when I particularly want to blast someone’s point. If I can’t do that I simply ignore the thread, as Larry Morgan said “you can’t fix stupid”. I’m also attempting to not react to stupid drivers. Hope everyone has a 9/12 day.

I was at the parts counter where I worked. The parts guy had a tv on and was saying a plane had hit the first tower. While we were talking the 2nd plane hit on live tv. It's a shame so many people have forgotten already.
