Almost ten years ago I was on a roadtrip to Moses Lake, Wa to attend the wedding of my computer guru. On the first morning of a week long trip I awoke in a South Dakota motel room to a the picture of a tower in flames. As I watched a second plane hit the second tower and I as most of the country went into a what is going on mode. As I continued to travel westward the only thing on the car radio was more grim news of the happenings in New York and Washington and in a little town in PA. The news was horrible to say the least. And as you can imagine the rest of the trip was one of many failures as all the planned visits were closed for fear of more attacks,all national parks and landmarks were closed and I ended up in a motel room 5 days earlier than planned.

Now today I awake to the news that the mastermind of these attacks has been killed! Am I over joyed? Doh! I am glad that, that weasel is finally dead. I know that his death will not bring back all the lives that were lost that day, the innocent people from not only this country but many others and the lives of the brave first responders that also gave their lives in a futile attempt to save others. Am I jumping with joy? No I am just sitting here ready to say that chapter of my life is over as it is for many many more of the surviors and their relatives. I thank the US Seals that preformed the mission and for the many others that still today are fighting for us and the world to rid the planet of such people.
