Having a spouse in the military didn't help with knowlege as they had had some information that they couldn't share earlier (or even then or now). We worked in a building that is 5 stories tall, but one of the biggest phone centers of all California. We were given all kinds of warnings, more security and no information. No radio, no emails to let us know more of what went on. Unfortunately the callers who called in to discuss their bills neither watched tv or cared to watch it to let us know what was going on. I still can't understand that attitude of Ostrich-ing.<BR/>Now, since last week when we buried my fathers' remains on the 11th, that day will have a different meaning for me.Bobbisoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551678947405822982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924892396827230701.post-67577301891018637782007-09-18T05:51:00.000+02:002007-09-18T05:51:00.000+02:00I had just dropped my kids off at the high school ...I had just dropped my kids off at the high school and was listening to the radio at a red light. The announcer said something about a particular tower in San Francisco being closed, if you worked there, don't come in. <BR/><BR/>I thought it had some weird power failure or something. And then--say WHAT!?<BR/><BR/>And then they started talking about NYC. Apparently a skyscraper in San Fran was believed for those few minutes to be a target too, or maybe that whole area. But I was just staring, jaw on the floor, and then looking around at the other drivers. Planes? NYC? Did you HEAR that?!? Nope, they were all having a normal day over there in their cars, it looked like.<BR/><BR/>I bet THAT didn't last!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924892396827230701.post-77019213315614530822007-09-12T17:05:00.000+03:002007-09-12T17:05:00.000+03:00We, in the US, entered a foreign world that day.We, in the US, entered a foreign world that day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924892396827230701.post-45225180922054851112007-09-12T17:00:00.000+03:002007-09-12T17:00:00.000+03:00Hope your day in Jerusalem was a great one.
