Friday, September 12, 2008. I stayed up till midnight last night watching the story of the World Trade Center Towers. On Sept. 11, 2001, I had gotten up early and turned on the telly--and was watching as Katie Couric and Tom Brokaw provided commentary on the first burning tower. As I watched, a plane entered the TV screen to the right and crashed into the second tower. Unbelievable events. Stunning surreal unforgettable day that was.
Up early this morning. Low hanging clouds moving fast across the sky, pushed by gusty wind. I went to Big K service station 2 miles away to fill up the car--gas $3.60 a gallon. There was a notice in bold black letters taped on the pump: WE ASK THAT YOU LIMIT GAS PURCHASE TO $30.00 SO THAT WE MAY PROVIDE ALL OUR CUSTOMERS WITH FUEL DURING THESE TRYING TIMES. THANK YOU, THE MANAGEMENT.
Saw a neighbor who was on his way to court--problems with ex girlfriend or something.
Then I went to Trudie's Grill in Beaumont for breakfast. 2 eggs over easy, grits, biscuit, sausage and coffee. I rarely eat breakfast, so enjoyed it. Sans jukebox, Trudie was playing a CD of Creedence Clearwater. One of the songs was I Put A Spell On You which always reminds me of OJ Simpson.
Bye y'all, I have work to do. Have a great day. Susil
