LIVE FROM NYC: September 11, 2002.

[MegalosSkylaki]

By the time you read this it will be 9/11/02.

DOOOOOG has a Dr.'s appointment in the intersection of two famous streets.

BOSS CaaT has an Interview in another well-known part of town.

The fighter flights have resumed but truth be told everybody knows the bitter truth of their mission.

Know one talks in fear, yet everyone knows there is reason for it.
The only antidote to fear is Courage and people find it where they will. In the Mountains of Cyprus, there is a saying: Courage means hanging in there for one minute more.

I remember the film DAMAGES : "Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive."

I can give no one words of consolation.

But in a town where I have often had to fight outnumbered, I remember always the motto of Medieval Knights:My strength is the strength of ten men if my cause is a just cause.

Our cause is just.

It is Justice.
Deterrence and Retribution.
Retribution and Deterrence.

There are certain things that can only be decided among men.
This is one of them.

God Bless You All.

"Yet for all this there lives deep down things the dearest freshness.
Because the Holy Ghost broods over the whole world
With warm breath, And Ah! bright wings"--Gerard Manley Hopkins

Will check in now.

Someone asked me if they could borrow an Avatar I once used (perhaps the golden twin towers).

Anyone can borrow any avatars I've used --except, please, the towers transparent against the flowing Flag.

DOOOOOOG

And in the immortal words of Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day"

Hey you folks up there in NYC take care of yourselves...
Anybody comes up missin' we're comin' after ya

The few down here in the DC area will do the same
That goes for everybody whereever you are.. take care ... breathe in.. breathe out and we shall all survive another day

DoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooG: Nice pics. Resolution sux, though. Will speak with you today. How was Da Boss Cat interview?

[vass0922]

here is a pic of the outer wall where the plane crashed last year. This is as of June 11 I believe, so if you look you can see the inner rings are not yet completed. I'm not sure of the status of the inner rings myself as I can't see them

This is actually the best pic I've been able to find of the outer wall w/o all the construction on the front of it.

The highway you see in front of it is where I drive by every day, and the small white dots down at the bottom is Arlington National Cemetary... The Gardens Of Stone.
