There’s a lot going on this Saturday to commemorate 9/11/2001.
Never forget.
This is how our former presidents will commemorate the 9/11 anniversary:
President Bush- Keynote speaker at Flight 93 Memorial.
President Obama- Ground Zero Memorial.
President Biden- Memorial Services at all three memorial sites.
**Trump- Ringside commentary at a BOXING match.
Without minimizing the tragedy of that day, I hope I’m not the only one that hopes that the events of 1/6/2021 will elicit the same sort of future memories. I watched THAT act of terrorism unfold live on television as we did twenty years ago.
Tying up some bloggy loose ends:
- So far I haven’t located the big saute pan that disappeared. I have the lid and can’t figure out this gigantic mystery.
- My back is healed and so is my toe, but my injured top of the foot isn’t any better, which is super annoying. I think it’s tendonitis, but I’m pretty stubborn about not going to the doc, so I’ll suffer a bit longer on my own. Over the years I’ve accumulated an array of air casts and braces and I’m trying all of them like Cinderella to see which one most relieves the pain and stabilizes my foot. It would help if I’d stay off of it, but that’s not gonna happen.
- A wildlife expert confirmed that my grainy backyard video really was of a very large bobcat. I knew it was, but was still so excited to have it corroborated by someone who’s qualified to make that determination.
- Finally, Angel Boy 2.0 LOVELOVELOVES kindergarten, so this Ghetto Grandma can stand down and take a deep breath of relief. He’s full of happy stories as they walk home and is eager to go every morning. That’s a total success and kudos to the teacher! (She really has no idea how close she came to dealing with this grandma bear. Heehee.)
It’s hot here in SoCal. Although we had a magnificent display of lightening and thunder a few days ago, there were only a few drops of rain, not enough to quench my garden’s thirst, so I’ll be out there tending to all my growing things.
I hope your day is serene and full of joy.

1/6/2021 is, to me, the legitimate child of 9/1/2001 and I’m very sad and angry today. ❤

It’s just screaming at us, I agree.

You know until THIS anniversary I’ve been able to go, “OK that happened, it was awful.” Maybe I wrote about it but today has just been really depressing because of where 9/11/2001 has led us. 😦

I feel like there are too few of us who wonder why the 1/6 terrorists haven’t been brought to justice.

I feel the same way but at the same time I think so much of what goes on is politics which is, I think, the reason the war in Afghanistan didn’t end sooner. It would make any president look bad. In a paradoxical way I’m grateful to Donald Trump for helping me see behind the curtain, but I haven’t figured out how to live with this knowledge yet. If a guy breaks into a store and starts destroying it and the police catch him red-handed, he’s hauled in. But not those insurrectionists. To my knowledge (which is limited) none of them were arrested on site.
