Good 54º hazy morning.
Wow, I just couldn't believe the clean air and the sun yesterday!!!
About noon the "haze" started filtering back in a little. Not bad this morning. Can still see my mountain!!!!
Yesterday we topped at 93º.
Breakfast was two eggs microwaved and set atop some loaded mashed potatoes
with some melon and carrot roll to go with the coffee.
Today is a hard day when remembering the devastation and lives lost on this day in 2001...
I was emailing with John
Thurman (LASD ret) and he wrote me back he was waiting to hear from his son who
was stationed at the Pentagon. Later he wrote that the plane hit the Pentagon on
the floor under his son's office. His son was OK, smoke inhalation, but ok. A
couple of men in his office and a lot of them on the other side of the wall
died.
