in Pennsylvania. Flight 93 was destined for SF so I feel a strange connection
to those passengers and the crew who fought the terrorists and crashed the
plane on 9/11. I well up just thinking about yesterday, it was exactly what
I needed for my own personal closure and of course it was so well done.
The next time someone bashes big government, point to the National Park
Service. This is starkly sad and beautiful. There is a huge bolder in a
field where the plane crashed and we can only look at it, not ruin the
spot by walking over the now official burial site.
Driving from Pittsburgh was incredible with the hills and trees. What
truly glorious country ~ step son pointed out the many discreet fracking
installations, one would never know. People are torn about this ~ so
many new millionaires and jobs, and yet, what is it doing to the environment?
No one really knows yet.
