--- Quote from: injest on September 11, 2008, 06:43:09 pm ---I heard one of the talk show guys today (I Know) and he said that people have three different attitudes.
one is a September 10th attitude: that everything is ok and the world is fine and nothing like that will ever happen again.
a September 11th attitude: that we are under threat and need to be very afraid.
or a September 12th attitude: that we are determined to live our lives to the best of our abilities and try hard to be the very best friend, lover, parent, child we can be. To never be complacent again because you never know.

And not to detract from the enormity and tragedy of 9/11.......How many of us came away from BBM with that third part on our minds....

Yes that is right, and I think it says a lot about who we are, and more importantly who we ain't. We ain't Ennis. I am sure of that! ;)

There is this apple tree I discovered in an older section of town where I manage some apartments. I had gone to show the apartment the other day and driving down the street afterward I saw the tree, loaded with apples, and the gutters on both sides of the street loaded up with them too. Large green, "cookin' apples", not the kind you can just pick and eat, too tart.
I thought of how that tree was probably planted for a practical purpose, providing supplemental food for the family who lived there. Now, it was mature and having a bumper crop, the family long gone and the apples wasting in the street, being run over, attracting yellow jackets.
Today I rode by and saw two people with boxes, loading them up. The idea of road kill did cross my mind, but I was glad they were making use of them. Wondered why I didn't get some myself.
