Attention!!

   "All 300 units, go to the Community Center at X o'clock!"
   That was it, no further information coming. You'll find out when you get there.
   We were being told stuff by customers on the route. 
"They blew up the stock exchange"
"They blew up the Pentagon"

   Wrong information, but it was all we had. We were working and our trucks didn't have radios, other than the 2 ways for communicating with other trucks and the office.
    We get to the Community Center go into the Dome and they've got a tv on stage showing the planes crashing into the Twin Towers.
  Then they start talking to us about what had gone on. 
    It's not just our department there. All the "out there on the streets" departments are there. The strangest thing was they said
 'If you see any suspicious packages or boxes on the street, notify police dispatch'
   I never knew looks  could make a sound. But 30 members of Solid Waste looking at each other with a collective "HUH?" Does make a noise. Solid Waste, the department whose job at that time was to pick up anything they put it out that weighed less than 50 pounds. 
  The next day and the weeks that followed, everybody was proud to be American. People were bonded. I don't know what's happened since.

Anyway.
Thanks for Praying!
