Nathan not really awake on the train. We got up early again to catch a train. This one was a two person sleeper with no food. As you can see it is pretty roomy. We had a nice wake up ride.

9/11 Nightmare Continues

5727

Is anyone at all shocked by this headline from the NY Times: ‘For the First Time, New York Links a Death to 9/11 Dust’? And a needed first sentence quote:

New York City’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, has for the first time directly linked a death to exposure to dust from the destruction [...]

Fox News 40 Year Recap

Some notes…

death of JFK JR. – who cares

The Onion provides this (made-up) quote from New York Gov. George Pataki: “This vast chasm, dug at the very spot where the [...]

I have been trying to ignore most of it, because our tendency to wallow and self [...]

We Needed One Then. We Need One Now

I walk past a poster version of the above ad for the WTC Memorial in Port Authority everyday. I rankles me only slightly more than the poster about seeing something, saying something, or the fake paper twin towers, or the marine flag waiving over the exit, or the marker sketch of, I think, Jesus rising [...]
