Storm Brewing Over Denver?

So you may have heard that the FBI recently arrested a local 1-person Al Qaeda Cell here in Denver. Actually he did go to Pakistan for training in bomb making and did have contacts in New York who were up to no good. And so we do have a little bit of a terrorist storm brewing.

Unfortunately for this poor soul, he lied to the FBI, which is a violation of the Law. I learned through watching may true crime programs on TV (yes this is a shortcoming of mine) that the police never ask a question that they don't already have the answer to. Apparently he didn't know that.




















So I leave you with that thought and a photo of one of the last summer storms over the City of Denver, taken from near the Moffat Tunnel at close to sunset.

I Remember

I remember my first, last, and only visit to the World Trade Center in the Summer of 1987. I awoke that fateful September Morning in 2001 to news that I could not believe.

New York City was my de facto second home. My mother grew up there as the child of Barbadan immigrants in an Italian-Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. We visited family there every other summer, alternating NY with our traditional cross country road trip vacation so typical of the sixties and seventies.






I was the only child at my inner city school in Cincinnati that ever went to NYC (my teachers verified this with my parents because the other kids thought I was lying!).

I never cared much for the modern architecture of WTC. But after my visit, I changed my mind about it.

I REMEMBER!
