Today, my wife and I drove to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week's vacation although I am not sure why because we have been retired since 2015 and don't really need vacations. Still, we like to travel and it is nice to get away since we have not been anywhere for over a year. This is only our second vacation since COVID appeared on the scene.
Because of my back surgery, we had to stop every two hours... so instead of 6 & 1/2 hours in the car, we spent a little over 7, stopping for about 15 minutes each time. The traffic was not bad and that might have been because of the day. We left at 7am and arrived at 3pm but stopped for gas and coffee before we left town.
Today, we are reminded of the terrorist attack inside our borders and even though it was 2 decades ago, for some of us, it is like it just happened yesterday.
Do you remember where you were?
I was at work and it was about 30 minutes before my shift started so I was in the lounge watching whatever was on the TV and saw a plane crash into a high rise building. I thought it was a movie. But, was soon told, it was the news.
For 20 years we have worried about another attack and for 20 years nothing has happened. However, I am sure that the Arabs who hate us, have planned numerous events but all have been avoided because of our alert status with the military and homeland security.
Was COVID another terrorist attack except this time, it was unleashed by the Chinese? And, why is our government protecting the Chinese when they are our sworn enemy?
Well, enough of this troublesome shit... I'm at the beach and I'm going to start enjoying myself and I suggest that you do the same.
