Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001?
I was on the golf course when word filtered out to us that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Centre towers. We were in the clubhouse watching TV when the second plane hit and it became obvious that this was a terror attack.
The U.S. came together as a country and Canada was part of that unity. We grieved with them. I put a decal on my van with the Canadian and U.S. flags together and remember that fall being given a thumbs up by a U.S. taxi driver who noticed it.
What a difference 20 years makes! No unity, no respect, just stupid hatred these days. Hard to understand the nasty things that Trump unleashed - and he and his gang aren't through yet.
My brother and I were at the top of one of the Trade Centre towers about a year before they came down. We had delivered a truckload of plants to Brooklyn for David and took an extra day to play tourists. Glad the terrorists didn't pick that day for their dirty work!

Yesterday after the rain, David's loading dock was just about full of water (maybe that's why they call it a dock). He had to be taxied to his truck. As you can see, the sump has removed most of it.
Lots of water everywhere.
Managed to finish cutting the grass though. And dug some more - the earth is pretty soft now.

Blue Jays lost tonight. A double header coming up tomorrow against Baltimore.

Be thoughtful on the 11th. Stay well.
