a sad day across the pond..:(

First up....We had some HELLACIOUS storms in hotlanta last night.. Atlanta motor speedway (for all you nascar fans) is pretty much destroyed.. lots of damage everywyhere.. thankfully none of the rest of the precariously perched trees from the neighbors yard came down.. whew..
Woke this morning to the news from London.. odd how something can take you back years in just a moment.. I vividly remember getting a call to turn on the tv.. and then watched in sheer horror and disbelief as another plane crashed into the towers..
I suspect many in London are going through some of the same feelings that we americans were then.. a profound grief, sadness.. and just the question... why?
My partner's cousin just returned from a 6 month stay in London, she was the first person I thought of.. thank the gods she was home.. She had been living and working there for the time.. as young people who want to see the world sometimes do I suppose.. a care package of grits, iced tea and mountain dew among other things was one of her happiest pieces of mail from her cousins.. She right enjoyed those grits I believe... A quick phone call to let her know what was going on since she's a late sleeper was my first task of the day...and then watching all the video.. some you will see.. some you will never see thankfully.... the same look of shock and horror and disbelief on the faces of those brits.. same as our Americans...

So to those who have lost someone.. or are missing someone or have someone injured in yet another awful attack on innocent people.. our condolences.. but know that you will get through it.. but will never forget...






In memory of Robert Jalbert.. lost that day 9/11 and missed by many..
