Like Flyer, I worked in the airport environment that day and the days following. Pearson was racked and stacked with diverted aircraft - everyone flying in and NO ONE flying out. It was a day of absolute uncertainty. My kids, then 9 and 13, called me begging me to come home. I had to tell them that I was safe; but in our collective heart of hearts that day no one knew if the terror was truly over... and we still don't. Ironically, I was given some degree of closure (not sure if that is accurate but it is the best I can do right now) a few years later. I was approached by a rather attractive young lady and we spoke for a time. I asked her name and was absolutely stunned. I won't mention the first name but the last was unmistakable; BIN LADEN. I had to ask... and sure enough, Osama is (or was, who knows) her uncle. She said that her entire family was ashamed of him. By her looks she was a very progressive Saudi woman, not shackled to the traditional garb that some cling to... and she was, as I have said, very attractive. She explained that her family had prospered by western contacts and that by his actions, Osama had not only shamed the name but sent the family into a devastating financial state. I guess it's like having a murderer, rapist or child molester in the family... they have nothing to do with you or your character but the taint will always be attached to your name. 9/11 changed the way we live... and not for the better.

I freakin' hate that!!!!!!!!! It is an absolute disrespect for anyone but themselves. I used to park in an employee parking lot that was gigantic (about 4000 cars) and the stuff I saw there was incredible. People late for work would come speeding in, clip cars, scrape cars, ram cars and just walk away. I got to the point that I would rather pay for parking elsewhere rather than risking hundreds of dollars worth of damage.

.... I also hate to say it, but the last time I was at Al's Steakhouse on Elgin, I was disappointed. Big bill.... not so great service... average meal. -

I have heard that Haveli, an Indian restaurant in the Market, has not been up to par lately. I used to love it there... but a couple of peeps have said that it's not what it once was.... Of course it all depends on your individual tastes.... -

Must agree with both of you... it may seem "small town" but there is nothing more "human" than treating people with respect and showing a kind smile when one is flashed your way!!! I am much the same with people pulling out of driveways... it doesn't hurt to acknowledge their dilemma and let one or two in... BUT do not assume that I am going to let you in and cut me off... I go from Dr. Golden Retriever to Mr. Rottweiler!
