9/11 revisited.

Where were you and what were you doing on that date?
I was in Memphis, TN on a combination trip of gambling(Tunica MS) and strip clubbing. That evening I went to the Memphis Platinum Plus. The place was packled with stranded air travelers. It was a very somber crowd. The music volume was much lower than normal. I spent 2 hours talking to a young lady half my age about the day's events. She never even asked for a dance. I cut my trip short and drove home the next morning.

Besides the tragic events of the day, what I remember most was how kind people seemed to be for the days and weeks following 9/11. Drivers weren't the arrogant jerks they normally are. Everyone treated each other with respect....ahh, what happened since then?
I also recall I really wanted to kill, personally, whoever was responsible! I have never felt a more intense anger in my 60+ years.
i happened to be in a class room that had a TV, and they turned it on to the news.
the thing i remember about being out on the lake. it was a beautiful sunny day with beautiful clear skies. normally those clear blue skies would eventually turn a wispy white as the contrails from the jet traffic would disapate and spread out through the sky, but since all air traffic was grounded the skies remained blue all day.
to this day i still boil when thinking of or discussing what those fanatical fucks did to those innocent people in ny and dc that were just going about their daily lives.
NEVER EVER FORGET!!!
