Marking the Date: 9-11
My first trip to NYC was planning well before September 11th but it happened that I would be in NYC in late October. I took the picture at right on October 30, 2001, near ground zero. I’ll never forget the horrible stench in the air from the still smoldering “debris.”
I could have shown you pictures of the mangled buildings in the area and the blocked off streets around ground zero. But not today. Today is for the people who lost their lives in New York, DC and in Pennsylvania.
Rather than go off on a ‘we are at war due to sprawl and SUV‘ rant I’ll just direct you to James Howard Kunstler for said perspective.
Peace.
