You see! They knew too many people would win.

Yep, you guessed right. The big lotto was won on wednesday

Yes, it was such a terrible day. I'm sorry that you lost people you knew. I did not know anyone personally that was lost. I was a second year teacher and when we got the news we didn't have cable and internet wasn't too stable yet at our school so we didn't have a way to watch anything. A lady that lived across the street started recording it for us and brought over VHS tapes so the students could see what was happening. I also remember going to the gym as normal that day and seeing all the weight-lighting guys just sitting around watching the coverage at the gym instead of doing their normal routines. It really doesn't seem like 20 years has passed. I was talking with my Social Studies students about it yesterday and even though logically I know that these 7th graders weren't alive when it happened but it just seems like it still just happened to all of us, if that makes any sense.

Thanks.
The other thing I forgot to mention (Carolyn reminded me), is that SisIL was scheduled to work flight 77 out of Dulles that morning, but, called out sick. Have heard so many similar stories.
And yes, makes total sense. Said for the umpteen-billionth time, but, we should never forget.

I have a relative who worked in the towers who had the day off.

Good Ol Trashpanda would recommend you "do it".. but will warn you about driving hondas

I need a bigger car

This looks about the right size (for as weekload of groceries for your family).

@StarWarsGirl Zebras are running loose in Maryland https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/10/zebras-escape-maryland

I heard about that. Not near me, but hilarious nonetheless.

Oh, I'm sorry -- I did include that one as well, but you couldn't see it in the photo I shared -- it was directly behind the truck. You see, it's a mighty convoy, and a beautiful sight, for Figgy.

Dad actually decided he prefers hard cider over beer, so there's no more beer in our house either.

I was alive for it but remember nothing about it. Honestly, I'm just as glad that I learned about it as more of a history event. Enough horrible stuff has happened during my lifetime.
