I was working for CompUSA installing Road Runner for Time Warner. I used to listen to Bob and Tom in the mornings while I drove my van around to different jobs. I heard the news on the radio and at that time they thought it was an accident. I called my then husband to let him know the news. I would only catch bits and pieces while I was in homes doing installations.
I also remembered my mother telling me two weeks earlier about a dream she had. She had dreamed that she was in an airport (which is odd, because she doesn't fly). She said in her dream she say Osama Bin Laden, I didn't know who that was and had to ask her who he was. She said she was shocked that no one else noticed him. She said after a little bit in her dream the airport had explosions and it started crumbling and there were large columns at the airport falling all around her. I called her up and I reminded her of the dream she had told me two weeks earlier. Of course, she didn't really have much to say on that.
Throughout the day, everything was eerily quiet. I don't live too far from a commercial airport and a military base. It's amazing how you miss those planes when they're not flying over. I also remember throughout the day how awful I felt for those people, never getting the chance to see they're loved ones again. How awful it was for people to die while at work. I wished I would've been able to go through my life without one of those, I'll always remember where I was when..., moments. I also distinctly remember being immensely grateful that Al Gore wasn't the President. I know that many people hated President Bush and I certainly don't agree with everything he did. But I knew he would adamant and decisive. At least I knew when the man made a decision he thought was best for our country and well being. I also he would follow through with any decision he made.
