I can't help having yet another grim chuckle:
I'm re-reading the 9/11/01 WX Natter thread, and, about 5:30 in the afternoon (Eastern time), Amy Parker posted that crude oil prices had "jumped"....
....to $31/barrel.
Heh. $31. The good ol' days.

It's become one of my most oft-used mantras, Fred. It just kind of says everything, you know?
Man, I'd forgotten how perfect that whole grid was. From the archives.

DH was out of town. In Reno - with a bunch of front line first responders form MTA, arlington, NYC ,etc. I was home, the day was sunny. I turned on the tv - and thought what I was seeing was old footage of the bombing of the Towers - ( when they guy drove the truck in). Didn't know why they were showing that. Then I realized what was happening and Called Matt. and made him turn on a TV. He has never been a big tv person. he spent the next 3 days drinking and crying with frantic police and fireman. I had you guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That Onion thing is awesome.
My illicit cable was shut off that weekend before, so I basically had no TV for weeks, which was just as well. Except for the fact that I missed the finale of Big Brother, but I think so did everyone else? I forget.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm rereading the whole issue now, and what's really striking is how none of it seems dated.

Nutty, I take it back about the Sci-Fi Channel showing Star Trek III.
In re-reading the Natter thread from that day, and since I apparently posted every miniscule thing I did all day long, I posted "Thankful for cable and TNN -- they're blessedly showing, instead of coverage of the terrorism, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock."
Does TNN still exist, even?
