I had just gotten the Escort back the day before, and had made arrangements to drive out to Riverside to finish off some research I had to do for a paper that I wanted to urn in to get rid of in Incomplete.  I woke up around 7:00 to my cell phone ringing, and it was a friend of mine whom I occasionally saw but hadn't heard from in a couple months

I was in the Kitchen Department (when my office was on the sales floor) when someone said a plane crashed into the WTC tower. I had a few friends working in the Towers, so I went to the Break Room as it was not busy & started watching on the TV. Then I saw the 2nd plane come down in the other tower, & my heart was thumping. (Luckily the friends were either on the ground or not working that day) Then to see the towers crumble it reminded me of a Irwin Allen movie. I never thought buildings with so much Iron framing would ever crumble to the ground like that.. Then the other attacks that day...

But, a few weeks later is when one of my now former best friends' in the Philly area *snapped* & started buy up guns & ammo & said he was prepared for the foreign invasion that was coming soon. I told him he needed to talk to a professional & get some help, that was not the solution. (Just my .02)
