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.

11 things I am thinking about on 9/11
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.

Staring at the sun
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?
Notre Dame game delayed by weather—and a UFO?
Spectators watched the UFO as Notre Dame game was at a standstill..
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….?
9/11: Facebook style
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.

Remembering 9/11 the best way I know how ..
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.
Could it be! The 9/11 hysteria in the media is actually about selling fear!?
Now they wouldn’t do that, would they?
Meanwhile in Pennsylvania...
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
A wild goose chase...?
More news orgs are reporting that the anniversary 9/11 attacks are looking less credible as time goes on…
Google at it again…

And in another image, she appears to notice the street view cam photographing her nude..
People online are having a field day making light of the situation and making a lot of fun of the woman..
Laughing as our privacy dies?…. making a joke of a person, photographed by a private company, and her image posted all over the globe?
I’m not laughing… I’m not laughing at all…

River debacle in Luzerne County
…..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.

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
Flood water are leading to very desperate situations in Pennsylvania
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.
The flooding continues to not be a joke..
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.
The flooding continues to not be a joke..
Scientists are searching for intelligent life on earth
…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.

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.
Here's a deal for Texas..

Tornadoes.. floods.. fires.. and flares?
Spaceweather has this:
Earth-orbiting satellites have detected another strong flare from sunspot 1283. The X1.8-class event at 2238 UT on Sept. 7th produced a bright flash of extreme UV radiation and hurled an inky-dark plume of plasma into space. Click to view the movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory:

Glancing blows from the three clouds will commence sometime on Sept. 9th and continue through Sept. 11th, possibly sparking minor geomagnetic storms
This Lee flooding is no joke..
AP reporting this dispatch:
A motorist trapped in a vehicle drowned early Thursday in Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Emergency Management Director Randy Gockley said.
Gockley says responders found 3 to 4 feet of water on the road as the nearby Hammer Creek went over its banks.

More to come..
Mandatory evacuation of about 120,000 people ordered in northeast Pa.; Susquehanna River expected to crest at 39.6 feet
It’s going to be big.. bad.. immense. Historic. And something anyone involved will be thankful when it’s over.

And yes, I'm also worried about the Bloomsburg Fair
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.

River worries..
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..
Accuweather report details out the river projections
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.

Where will the flooding be after?
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.
