I’ve tried to watch the show.. tried to get into it. But I tend to forget what I just saw every time. I guess this may explain it.

I’ve tried to watch the show.. tried to get into it. But I tend to forget what I just saw every time. I guess this may explain it.
Forgive me for sounding selfish, but here is what I am thinking today.
I was ten years younger, just turned 21, had a whole life in front of me
My dog Newton still was happily alive
My mom and dad were younger. So was my brother and sister, niece and nephew.
I didn’t meet my wife yet.
I didn’t have my job yet.
I didn’t have this website yet.
I still used AOL instant messenger and ICQ
I didn’t have a child..
I didn’t have a college degree yet.
I had trust in authority.
I had more privacy than I do today.
9/11/01 through 9/11/11… A lot of things around our world changed. And a lot of stuff in our collective lives changed, as did a lot of things in our private lives. Too much for comfort maybe.
…by the time 9/11/21 comes, God knows where we’ll be. But I can tell you 2021 will be here before we know it. Time continues no matter what we do to stop it. No plastic surgery will stop death. No amount of cream will stop wrinkles. No amount of liquor will stop grief. We are all in this together.
Evolution continues. Life continues…as those beams of light from Ground Zero softly go into the air.
Good evening, all.
According to Spaceweather.com:
On Sept. 9th and 10th, Northern Lights were spotted in the United States as far south as Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont, Montana, Maine, Minnesota and North Dakota
Are you ready for some football!? Strange event as one college game was delayed.. wonder who the spacecraft-drivers were rooting for?
It may be a hoax.. but I sure remember lots of people believing it after 9/11 latimes:
40,000 people don’t realize this photograph is fake.
We got a special request from a reader to spread the word that this is a fake photo. Yes, it’s a hoax.
I mean really.. how could a photo survive that blast!!! Oh wait.. a passport of a hijacker was found intact after the tragic day in the wreckage. So many this photo is just real after all….?
Only on Facebook could there about 100 people playing Farmville, another 100 putting up over-done patriotic quotes, and finally a few posting Saturday night’s drunken rampage photos, all on one page.
Oh yes, 10 years later, we haven’t grown up a bit..
Whenever a Virgin Mary statue ‘weeps’.. it’s always in the Phillipines! Maybe there’s something about the Phillipines that Virgin Mary statues just don’t like.
Reliving history right now with Art Bell Somewhere in Time’.. They are rebroadcasting his live 9/11 show as I post this… His voice and bumper music summed up the night perfectly. Listening to this, I still can’t believe the last ten years of my life and this nation’s life have gone into the trash heap of time so fast.. I still remember when he played Phil Collin’s In the Air Tonight and, tearing up as I listened, I was scared.. Sad…
I was 21 and dumb.
Jobless and a night owl. Eager to believe the world was nothing more than an ironic joke. We all grew up fast. The kids of the 20th century were thrown into this cauldron of 21st century war and spy games… It wasn’t supposed to be that way.
But it is. Was. And very much now will apparently always be.
Now they wouldn’t do that, would they?
Flood waters are receding, leaving a massive mess of mud and grime behind. Cleanup begins.
Cleanup in Columbia County
Water is Receding in Schuylkill County
Evacuation Order Lifted for Some Luzerne Co. Residents
Harrisburg and Midstate residents start to rebuild homes, lives after flooding
But just as the cleanup beings, this still occurring: Dozens more families on the west end of town had to be evacuated overnight Friday due to an ammonia leak at Windsor Foods that began wafting over homes

From Spaceweather:
A polar geomagnetic storm (Kp=5) is in progressfollowing the impact of a CME around 1100 UT on Sept. 9th
…..the river crested higher last night than what officials said it did last night.. feet higher. This is an amazing development and it’s putting lots of pressure on the levees that some didn’t think would occur. .Governor Tom Corbett just landed in Forty Fort.. The dangerous part now: The levees are holding water back that was never expected. So officials are watching them everywhere……. Some people are beginning to return to areas that, if the levee DOESN’T hold, will be flooded. People need to stay out of the mandatory evacuation area in Wilkes Barre and surrounding communities.. This is now history: The level is higher than Agnes in 1972.

The Daily has obtained a joint intelligence bulletin issued by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security with information on the al Qaeda car bomb plot targeting New York and Washington, D.C. Read the full story here.
Also according to the report: Bin Laden’s replacement ‘personally’ planned 9/11 anniversary attack…
All history of flooding in his area has been compared with Agnes… it was the storm of the age. This new, Lee fellow, came and swept history aside and gave even more devastation than Agnes could.. truly unbelievable developments continue today as streams that flow into the mighty Susquehanna are now backing up, too… unbelievable..West side officials: flooding worse than Agnes
25% of Bloomsburg is flooded— this is some of the worst flooding since 1904.. parts of Nanticoke are so inundated with water that entire buildings are covered.. Streams that drain into Susquehanna River are backing up and now endangering neighborhoods that weren’t in danger of flooding.. There are houses floating down rivers and being destroyed as they cannot make under bridges..City Island in Harrisburg is covered.. Front Street in Harrisburg is flooded..Shipoke flooded.
Yes, the water is beginning to recede.. and yes, Wilkes Barre didn’t get destroyed.. and yes, Harrisburg will recover. But NO it’s still not 100% safe.. case in point: the sad story this morning that now, among the casualty from Lee, an 8-year-old boy dead after getting caught in a storm drain.. Sad story, among the other persons that lost their life, too.
…and yes, since they are looking for intelligent life they are avoiding humans. Instead, looking for anything ETs may have left behind as signs or messages of their presence.
I bet this: People will slam the worker.. but news will slowly come out that he or she was overworked. That or Homer Simpson left the nuke plant for a new job.

Last night’s debate highlight: Rick Perry visibly accosting Ron Paul. Can’t wait for Paul’s next anti-Perry ad after this. Who does Perry see as his real threat? …he sure didn’t do this to Romney.
This photo was good.. and so was the bloodthirsty audience rabidly applauding Rick Perry putting people to death. I think Ron Paul still won.
You send up the tanks to PA and NY, and we’ll get you the water. We really don’t need it..

More to come..
It’s going to be big.. bad.. immense. Historic. And something anyone involved will be thankful when it’s over.
The greatest time of autumn is coming. Bloomsburg Fair season.. already the fair delayed vendors from setting up 9/11.. I certainly hope whatever rain and mud leftovers remain after waters subside can be cleaned .. and hopefully in time for the start of the great annual autumnal brilliance of pig pens and fried foods called the Bloomsburg Fair.
From BloomUToday.com .. amazing flood waters rage ..
I know what the projections say.. I know they are talking about rivers being dangerously above flood levels—and the highest since Agnes in ‘72. But something deep down thinks their projections are off a bit and the river levels may end up being higher than projected.. What is troubling me is the rain pattern, how it’s nonstop and seemingly forming all over again once its over..and all headed to the watershed areas that fuel and form the main burst that the Susquehanna River is going to have.. I just worry. Hope I’m wrong..
The Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, Pa., is projected to crest 5 feet above major flood stage according to the National Weather Service hydrologists early this weekend. At this level, flooding will occur along heavily traveled routes 11 and 15, and US 22/322.
Widespread flooding will also inundate the residential sections of Front and Second Streets and in the city’s Shipoke area.
The Harrisburg Patriot News reports that Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson declared a state of emergency.
Flooding of roughly 25 percent of Bloomsburg, Pa., is projected, including major inundation of the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. The projected crest of 31.5 feet should narrowly surpass the level recorded during the deluge unleashed by Agnes in 1972.

Flooding may occur in Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts. Bands of thunderstorms are coming north through Long Island… Lee is stagnant. Good luck up north, should you happen to get 9 to 12 inches of rain in 24 hours.
