Me too.
The east coast terror attacks happened out of the blue. There was nothing that we could have done to stop it. We all knew the orders of orders of magnitude more horrific war was coming. We tried to stop it. We failed,

Nasty people, Iāve heard many ask me āSir, sir Do you know About Dicksville?ā just an awful place to be. Itās overrun with thugs who wonāt let you grab any notches.

August 2001: miscommunication with my friendās dad about picking my friend up from the airport, arriving from Spain. Turned out It was my job again, but Iām running late, and my friend didnāt know if anybody was picking him up. And no cell phones. Long story short, Iām sprinting through OāHare International with no luggage. Nobody batted an eye.
2016 Dixville Notch results were 4 votes Hillary, 2 votes Trump, 1 vote Johnston.
So it seems not only blue wave confirmed, but we also lost 2 Dixville Notch fine citizens. The standard move would be to hope itās the two trumpkins, but Iām rooting for the Johnson one.

Yeah, I was always like fuck that āwhere were you on 9.11ā noise. Where were you when you watched entire cities being destroyed shocked and awed in nightvision?

I think itās safe to say W Bush would have been in Iraq with or without 9/11. Itās important to remember how precarious (and lucrative to the Cheneys of the world) the US energy situation was before shale & relatively recent gains in renewables.

Iām really old. The memories of the shock and awe bombings from 1990 in Iraq are a lot more clear to me than 2003.
eta: Really, I remember 9/11/01 and 2003 well, but I had one little kid for the first and two little kids for the second and I was much more in my own world than I was in 1990 when I was 22.

I was a 7 year old trying to put on a gas mask in the middle of the night. not that Iraqi people didnāt get it worse, but that shit stays with you.
The first night of the war when the air raid siren went off my mom decided that the safest room in the house was a tiny half room half closet with a washing machine where we all had to stuff with our gas masks on and put duct tape all over the doors. Weirdest time ever.

This is good but the county clerk already announced an hour ago that they were closing 9 of the 10 drive through sites tomorrow out of fear the votes might be invalidated later by the judge.
Dunno if they reverse course or what now. Fucking republicans.
My brother was there. Thatās the event that āmadeā CNN.
Peter Arnett live in Baghdad while the bombs dropped.

9/11: 10 blocks away in my dorm where we got woken up by the first impact
3/20: Studying abroad in Australia. I still remember watching it on TV there although I was extremely naive at the time and no way I understood the implications; I probably believed the propaganda and was in favor or at least not particularly opposed.
