Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I hope you all got some of that wonderful rain yesterday. It rained at
my house, cooled things off and softened up the ground, making for
perfect weed pulling weather, for as we all know, weeds can grow no
matter what kind of weather you've got, and they've been spending a lot
more time growing than I have in pulling them lately with all the heat
we've been having.<br>
<br>
Thinking back to the 9-11-01 tragedy, it reminds me how in the
aftermath of it all, the skies were eerily empty with the banning of
plane travel for a time. Then when they were finally allowed back in
the air, I was almost as paranoid of them as I was as a small child
when the Vietnam War was going on. We lived in Bengal, (roughly the
middle of nowhere), but still there would be an occasional plane go
over, that would scare me to death after sitting through newscast after
newscast with my mom of planes going over and bombing villages in
Vietnam. How was I to know that was only going on on the other side of
the world? Unfortunately we got to find out what that was like on a
much more personal level in 2001. Let's all pray that such a thing
never happens again.<br>
