    9-11 Is Monday. What's Your Story?

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    09-11-01. I was off that morning drinking coffee. My wife was at work, she worked 3rd shift in those days. The baby was asleep. When I turned on the television, the first plane had already hit the first building. Everybody was still speculating.

    I saw the second plane hit the second building on live t.v. and knew this was war. Some kind of war. I actually locked the house and went 2 blocks and filled my truck with gas, and quickly returned. My wife and daughter were scheduled to drive to Louisiana the following morning to see her mother. When she got home, I took her Nissan Pathfinder out looking for gas. There were gas lines wrapping around city blocks at that point, she had a 1/2 tank and I just returned home, and she called her mom and cancelled the trip.

    American media wasn't nearly as corrupt in those days and we Americans were immediately patriotic, and ready to fight. We were pissed. Flags were out, taped to cars, flying from business, homes and trees. People were joining the military within' hours, and it was on!

    I didn't lose any family or friends that day, but many, many did, and the world changed instantly. I think average IQ's have dropped, sanity has left the building and people are more divided than ever on a host of subjects.

    But not that day.

    Stupid Jokes

    Some racehorses are staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record saying, “In the last 15 races, I’ve won eight of them!”

    Another horse breaks in, “Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!”

    “Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!” says another.

    At this point, the horses notice a greyhound, who has been sitting there listening.

    “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!”

    The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog!”

    I inherited this Buck 110 some time after my brother in law Sean passed away.

    I inherited this Sharpfinger when my uncle died a few years ago. It belonged to a Bandido we knew in Arizona that was killed in an accident in 1981.
