The way we saw it so long ago...

9/11 as seen from the Jersey Shore
 
There are few events in our lives that harken us back to exactly where we were and what we were doing at a specific time and date. For those of us close by the City, the visuals still stay with us. Although this is a close up, it's reminiscent of what we were able to see from the beach at the Jersey Shore. What a tragic day. What a shame, too, in the sense that we seem to have forgotten almost everything we learned that day...

If you have not heard his address from last night, please forgive the ad at the beginning. This is maybe the most heart-felt speech he's given. Well done, Sir...

I've owned ten different houses in my life.
I would never buy this house. Get it?

Oak Ridge, Tennessee, then known only as the Clinton Engineering Works, was conspicuously absent from any map. On 60,000 acres of farmland framed by the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, it was one of the United States’ three secret cities—remote sites chosen by Manhattan Project director Gen. Leslie Groves, evacuated of their civilian inhabitants, and developed for the specific purpose of producing an atomic bomb. The men and women of the Clinton Engineering Works would help provide the material for the first two bombs.

On September 11, 2001, FDNY Firefighter Tim Duffy, though off duty, raced into the heart of the chaos on his 2000 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Sport — grabbing his gear from the firehouse and riding through a dust-choked Manhattan street to reach Ground Zero. The image, taken moments after the first tower fell, freezes a surreal moment as he cuts through debris and paper in a haze of destruction.
Shortly after arriving and while helping others to safety, Duffy was buried under rubble when the North Tower collapsed. Remarkably, he survived the collapse and continued his rescue efforts despite the choking dust and chaos.
Duffy’s Harley-Davidson also survived the day. He still rides it to this day and has used it for fundraising and charitable work, including for a charity he founded called “1 Soldier, 1 Dog, 1 Team,” which pairs shelter dogs with veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD.
The story and the image of Tim Duffy on his motorcycle have been featured in various media, including at a 9/11 ceremony at the Harley-Davidson Museum, where it was highlighted as a perfect illustration of the heroic attitude of first responders.

I have to admit something here, guys. It's really hard for me to put a coherent post together this morning. Between yesterday's fuckin' insanity and the insanity of the date itself, it's just difficult for me to do what I normally do here. It's hard to inject silliness in to tragedy...

This deal is still active.

If you see me put a banner ad like this up, click on it and check out the product. I'll only do this for deals I think are too good to be true, and here's the most important thing - these deals usually disappear overnight. Too many times I've spotted something and mentioned it here, and I go back a day or two later and the price is up 20/30/even 40 percent. Juss' sayin'...

    1. Didn't paint the top of the door. That's a 1 minute job. Cut 1 minute off in painting? What else are they cutting corners on. And you need to seal the door lest the door absorb water and swell.

  2. "She's not talking about censorship. It's about morality."

    The internet never forgets, you might be able to remove it from a few platforms but you'll never be able to remove it from the internet, that horse has bolted.

    1. Surprising, the internet is not forever and it's actually relatively easy to scrub info off the system.

  3. Yes it is censorship and Vi Lyles was using the same playbook in calling to censor the news about Iryna Zarutska's stabbing. Because it doesn't fit the Left's narrative, it has to be censored, until the Left finds some way to blame the "right".
    Contrast the calls for censorship with the 24x7 coverage of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd and others. It went on for months and is still brought up in what-about-isms. When it supports the Left's narrative, you cannot escape it.

  4. Also, the hinges should be on the opposite side, so that when it's open, it's against the wall, not sticking out into the room .

    1. My thoughts exactly, it looks odd.

  5. And yet today we will be forced to relive the 9/11 tragedy through News Stations countlessly reshowing video from that day.

  6. Remember "We Will Never Forget"? Well - they forgot.
    Once a year on 9/11 we have this national tear jerking recap of the muslim attacks of 2001.
    The other 364 days of the year we have muslim terrorist enablers in Congress pursuing the muslim agenda, muslim immigrant hordes establishing No-Go zones, and thousands of "praying" militant muslims blocking NY City Streets, beating Jews and blackmailing companies to turn on Jews and Israel. All this going on in the open while most of the state and federal governments look the other way or actually protect the muslim insurgents

Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

This house is about four blocks from my house, and, yes, it is a shithole. A Villager has been given one week to remove debris from his prop...
