Six Years

Six years ago today my stove was repaired at around 10AM. Normally that would not be a memorable event. What I learned while it was repaired, I will never forget. I saw the headline on Yahoo and clicked on the link, but the request timed out. Every major news website timed out. I turned to fark.com and AM radio for information. At the time I did not have cable television and only picked up PBS, so the TV wasn’t an option for me.

I felt a plethora of emotions as most everyone did throughout that week and since. I felt sorrow, excitement, anger, more anger, and hatred. Those feelings are still there. Nearly three thousand American citizens were killed. A list with profiles can be found here. Take time to remember the victims.
