My profound thought - 9-12-2001  |
| |
| I was sitting at a light after work one afternoon. I looked up into the sky and there were not "lines" across it. Not a single jet trail... "This is the first time in my life there have been no planes in the air over the United States," I thought to myself. "Wow," I then thought. I found this so profound that I grabbed a piece of paper and actually wrote it down! You ever have thoughts so profound you have to write them down? I'm not a real profound sort of thinker, so this was a very moving moment for me. | | | | | |

| | I do on occasion write things down. I then surprise myself when I find them. 9/12/01 That was actually the day that we buried my mother. I thought the attack was a disaster movie when I stopped by Wal Mart on my way to Oklahoma on 9/11. | | | | | | |

| | that day was a strangely peaceful day in Texas, not too hot, beautiful, almost clear sky - so the lack of jet trails was more noticeable than it might otherwise be... | | | |

| | oh my yes ElicBxn we heard the sounds of a large airliner the night after nine eleven and were horrified, i was petrified as i thought maybe,knowing all planes had been grounded, this was another plane from the terrorists that was going to plow into some other large building and kill more people. my son called the police and was told this was a large cargo plane bound for New York city and full of medical supplies and food for the survivors and not to worry. I went back to sleep then but will never forget that feeling of real terror because I heard a large American plane in the middle of thenight here in the US. before 9/11 I would never have thought anything of hearing a plane in the middle of the night. how naive we were before 9/11 and how we had to grow up and face the fact that everyone did not like us. | | | | | | |

| | I bet you were - I remember hearing on one of those "snake bite" shows that a guy was bit by a rattle snake in Florida and they had to get a release from the FAA and Washington to fly anti-venom to him from California | | | |

| | It's kind of weird, isn't it? I remember the days after 9/11 when the skies were so quiet and clear, it was bizarre. I do have thoughts that are profound and occasionally I have a personal revelation that nearly stuns me. Like, the other day I realized that men aren't bad--I just always chose the wrong ones and most of them probably do have hearts and are capable of love. That was a big realization for me and by accepting fault, I really lightened my burden. Every so often I'll have a glimmer of real wisdom but it's not nearly often enough! | | | | | | |

| | Well I am not that profound too. I remember last September when we got unexpected flashflood. After the whole day raining I think everything stood still that day and every neighbor seemed to stand still and just do their own thing to dry things up. It was really sad to see your things all soaked up and muddy and the smell of your house just stinks. You seem to give up on the situation but then you have to do something to get out from that misery. | | | | | | |

| | I have seen people like that - I met some of the New Orleans people after the hurricane and they were very shell shocked acting, just trying to cope. In the last 5 years I've met several hurricane refuges, they are all saying - "Never again." Most of Katrina victims but I also met one Galveston fellow from Ike. | | | |

| | When I was 15 years old I was sitting with a friend at a park. We were discussing about supernatural things that have happened all around the world. He didn't know many of the ones that I was mentioning, so he brought out his mobile phone and started to record me. All of a sudden it started raining...What we both understood is that despite the rain was HEAVY not even a single rain drop had fallen upon us. Like an invisible umbrella.Of course 5 seconds after we were wet. I still got this recording...we were shouting "oh god what's going on" and stuff like that... | | | | | | |

| | That is strange Rain can be such a contrary thing, I remember a storm once where it was raining on one side of the street and the other was dry - we could walk up to the edge of the rain and just a few drops were landing on the dry side. | | | |

| | I've seen that every now and then right here 2 miles from RAFB and 20 miles from SA international airport. It is unusual. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy the solid blue sky when it occurs. | | | | | | |

| | I almost never see the sky without SOME jet trail, or remnant of one, so this was really odd - probably happened when I was a child, but that was a LONG time ago... | | | |

| | as I was born not long after the jet engine was becoming into more common use - it was really the first time that I ever knew of any planes not being over the U.S. Yeah, later I find out a few flew, but probably could count them on both hands! | | | |
