Home of the Snarkmaiden

Yes, I think several people mark the fall as dating to 9/11. Being on the group then made the events of that day much more intimate, somehow. The first I knew that something was happening was when I fired up my newsreader that morning and started seeing similar reports of flame and explosions from people in both New York and DC area. PNH and Keith Lynch, I think, or maybe Marilee. And even once I'd turned on the radio, most of the news that intimately mattered to me of the events of that day, I got on or because of RASFF. I'm not sure that feeling of shared crisis contributed to the way things spun apart afterwards, but sometimes it seems like it.
