9-11 8 years later...
« on: September 11, 2009, 11:24:58 am »
Hey guys,

Lets not forget that today is the 8th anniversary of the 9-11 attack.
I don't want to get political but do you remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard about the towers going down?

I had lots of work that day ( the exact opposite of today! ) and I was in the shop making printing plates when I heard the announcement on the radio. I have a small B&W TV set I keep in the back room and that came out. I'll never forget the scene of the first tower and the chill watching and listening as the second tower was hit.
3000 Americans died that day so all I can say is remember them and their families in your thoughts and prayers today....

God bless America!!!

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

I was on my way from South Lake Tahoe to my Mom's house in Sacramento.  
Had stopped at Strawberry on Hwy 50 for a cup of coffee.  As i stood at the
register to pay, the TV behind the counter showed the second plane hit.  
We all were frozen in time, nobody moved for about 15 minutes, just gasps.
