9/11...25 years ago

One of the events in life...that you will never forget...where you were, what you were doing...and how stunned you were...9/11/01...25 years ago...as the USA was attacked by kamikaze passenger planes...our very own... commanded by Al-Qaeda...as per orders by Bin Laden...you all know the story...

The tributes go out to the lost people in the attack and to the workers who tried to save as many Americans as they could...certainly a flaw in our defense system...much like Pearl Harbor...in the beginning for us in WWII... 

BTW, the best song about this...is by Alan Jackson...'Where Were You?'...

I say this way too often; we don't value life as we should...

Much of that has to do with leadership...evil ones...who thrive on making themselves bigger than life...destroying all in their path...pawns that they use and pawns that they kill...

The Texas gig has finally come to an end for trump and his maga...he was the featured orator for both nights...listen, kids, he is the worst speaker that has led this country EVER!...mocking this, name-calling them, lies, all lies...promises...that are fruitless...with the most grating voice in the free world...LOL, anywhere...

Even FOX broke away from his rants, as he wasn't making sense...lordy, even reading from a prompter... someone actually wrote that crap for him?...Ms Harp?...ah, missing was the pseudo-wife, Melania...

All the while, no mention of the killed and injured from the latest Iranian attacks on our bases in Jordan...and who knows where else...trump parties on...

This, that, and the rest...

The Rams got clobbered in the opening game...supposedly a HOME GAME for LA...in Melbourne, Australia...boooo...the 49ers did a number on them...wooah, my pick is already in the tank...

Miami, Florida...the Hurricanes...beat their patsy 77-7...Florida A&M...going to say this, but once...Mario, for goodness ' sake, show some class...I've been on the receiving side of a couple of those...it's hard to fathom why a coach would do that...guess it goes back to that leadership thing...had the opportunity to do it back to them...couldn't do it...a great time to play the guys who practice a lot and don't get much playing time...glad Cristobal is GONE from UO...

Settle into the race to the playoffs for the Friars...now in San Francisco for a set...you know it, MUST WINS...hey, it's fun to be in this position...

Back here at the Home, we got in our new outdoor furniture...ah, but the cats must put it together...I used to never sweat doing these thangs...now, it's a given... one more to do: the table...it's nice, Jerry, nice...come on over and sit awhile...bring the Pappy (Van Winkle)...

The Line...just saw some 'Pix' that have Okla St over Oregon...hmmm...NOT the Vegas Boyz...listen, folks, don't underrate the BSU team...let this play out...

This is GOLD...GOLD, I tell ya, Jerry...

RTD...Return to Democracy in 53 Days...
