    Good Morning!

    Remembering September 11 this morning, and all of those lives lost, and families forever changed.

    I am very happy that today is Friday! This was a very long week for a short week. One more week, and then I am on vacation.

    I'm hoping that Lee is OK. We have not heard from him this week, which is unusual.

    Have a great day!

    Mornin ' gents.

    Tough day for many here in the northeast.

    Prayers are out for Collin and you and Connie, Steve. The important thing is that you haven't given up.

    Welcome to @akmoray. Tell us more about yourself.

    Been incommunicado mainly due to work been so darn busy.

    Good morning gentlemen.

    I actually had forgotten this was 9-11, until I signed on here. We are pretty focused on the tragedy of the fire situation out here. There are many fires in Washington, including several within 30 miles of us. None of them compare to what is happening in Oregon. Areas of such great beauty, that I knew and loved growing up, are all being destroyed. Even worse, thousands of families have moved into those areas over the years. Whole towns have been wiped out. Heartbreaking.

    On the health side, we are joining Bill, in dealing with smoke. It was almost dark as night in my hometown of Salem, the last two days. That pall is forecast to move into Tumwater, today.

    Good Morning

    I too forgot it was 9/11, especially with the fire situation. Air quality is unhealthy so you only go out if you must. Ash from Oregon was falling yesterday morning. With the smoke, things are cooler since it blocks so much of the sun. It must be brutal in Oregon. Just tutoring today and cleaning up a bit.

    Have learned that schools are not teaching about 9/11, WW ll, WW l and cold war
    Prayers are with you Steve, Connie and Collin; tough love is so hard, DW got very upset with me dealing with our son; glad I did what I did, very proud of him now.
    Praying for rains for West Coast
