On a bit of a more somber note...
Have been watching History Channel tonight...9-11-01. I will never forget where I was when I first heard about the beginnings of it that morning, and all through the aftermath. I could go into further vivid details, but, will refrain.
Even us way down here we’re not unaffected, and I’ve posted this here more than once before.
I had met the pilot of flight 77, the flight that hit the Pentagon, Charles “Chic” Burlingame, on a layover flight here in Austin when my SIL was still flying as an American Airlines domestic flight attendant. They were here for a coupla’ hours one time on a layover, and she invited us out to the airport to see them. She also knew my love for all things flying and knew I would more than enjoy meeting him and him letting me sit in the second officers seat for a bit, and talking about all things flying.
He was so gracious and a gentleman, and I will never forget it.
Also, the coworker and fellow Flight Attendant
who my SIL had taken care of the guest book at our wedding in Dec. of ‘88, and her husband, were on the same flight, and died in that attack. Her name was Jennifer Lewis.
So far away were we, but, yet, so close.
Continued prayers to all affected in any way by that tragic day.
Hug your whole family, keep each other close, and the sweetest of dreams and/or morning to all of you and yours...!!!

That is pretty. I like that they have those little reflectors in the road. Those are always great at night. I wish more roads had them.I thought this was kinda’ pretty with the low clouds amongst the hills. It’s in the neighborhood across the road that I shortcut through to my country backroad on my commute to and from the office. Seen it like this many times this time of year but never stopped to take a pic...!

I woke up at 4 bright eyed and bushy tailed thinking it was at least 5. 
And what else to do? Well here I am! 
(If only this emoji was green!) So close.

As of right now, we have rain in the forecast for tomorrow, and on and off rain through the weekend. They are showing heavy rain Tuesday, so I wonder if that will be remnants of the storm.

Here. You'll need this when you go out in the rain. Rain is kind of a drag, but at least you'll still look stylish.

I'll never forget getting a phone call from a friend who saw the first plane hit right when it happened. I still can't drive down 280 and not get a funny feeling in my stomach
