Remembering the unthinkable

[salvorhardin]

5 years ago today I woke up and went about my morning routine. It was a beautiful sunny fall morning in upstate NY so I took my coffee and egg on toast sandwich along with a book out onto the porch for a relaxing breakfast. One of the neighborhood dogs had escaped the solitary confinement of his yard prison and wandered over sniveling and whining and nuzzling me with his cold nose until I agreed to share my breakfast with him. Satisfied he consented to being petted for a couple minutes before running off to see what trouble he could get into before his long-suffering owner could bring him back into custody and I set off to start my day. <...>

1. Thanks for the post, salvorhardin.

I didn't have a computer then so I had to rely on TV. My sister had called me about 7:30 am (PDT) and said to turn on the tv. She wouldn't tell me why..."just turn it on," she said, "this is big." I called her back twice after I turned on the TV because I couldn't figure out what was going on. I still can't imagine what it was like for people who witnessed it. (sigh)

2. Thank you for posting this

I think we all shared similar feelings on that day. It was my day off, so I was sitting alone drinking a cup of coffee and watching CNBC when the attack started, but I knew everyone else was feeling the same shock and sadness.

What a shame that bush squandered all of the good will and good intentions that surfaced on that day.

Very sad.
