[red-beard]

I just took a new job and it was my second day of work in San Diego. I called my sister and told her to turn on the TV. She balked at this. I said the world has changed.

My semi-ex-GF still had a key to my house in Albany. She walked from work to my old place and watched the coverage on TV. She couldn't believe it.

The transport company called me and said my Jeep Cherokee was sitting in a parking lot in New Jersey and it would be delayed. I said "Wow. It will have dust on it from the World Trade Center". "Oh sir, we can have it washed." I told her that wasn't my point. Dust from the destruction of the World Trade Center was on my car. I was exasperated.

I had friends on business trips. They rented cars and drove coast to coast with whoever needed to go.
