This will be convoluted but make sense if you follow to the end.

I was working as a vendor in a Wal Mart store about an hour from home. The store had changed all their display TVs to the news. I stood and watched for about 20 minutes and decided I needed to head home. The company I worked for sent out messages for everyone to go home and stay home.

Now the convoluted part. The company I worked for at that time always had a National meeting in August. I do not remember the exact date we were meeting that year but I know it was late August. Everyone who was more than 4 hours out had to fly to the meeting. Three weeks before the meeting I informed my boss lady, I had a gut feeling something BAD was about to happen. I told her I would NOT fly to that meeting. She was disappointed but said she would check back with me the week before the meeting. She did and my gut felt fine going to the meeting. I went to the meeting. The afternoon of 9/11 she called me and asked how did I know something was going to happen!

One of my co workers from another team lived in Boston. He flew out of one of the adjoining gates from that airport on 9/11!

When talking with him at later meetings he told of his flight being escorted by F-16s to their destination. He told of how they were disembarked from the plane and stood on the tarmac, surrounded by guards with automatic rifles. How their luggage was searched on the tarmac. He also said it took either 3 or 4 months to get his car from the airport parking lot.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
