You know, there are certain watershed events that I believe deeply mark our collective psyches and
binds us together as a people of shared experience. A few of us ask, "Where were you when the
Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?" For some of us the question is, "Where were you when Kennedy was
shot?" Now, every one of us asks, "Where were you when the twin towers fell?" But, for a brief

freeway?"
Setting up a tent on a barren piece of earth near Fayetteville, West Virginia. It was a clear, hot
and humid day and I was genuinely [censored] that I couldn't drive stakes through the rock they call
soil in that alleged campground. I had my Sony multiband radio, lying inside the tent, with the
intent to catch some idea of what weather to expect for whitewater rafting the next day. I stopped
and listened, fascinated by the shear stupidity of it all. I had a full stack of buckwheat pancakes
at the Western Pancake House with coffee and orange juice the next morning, before heading off on
the river where hundreds of thousands of cubic feet of water among boulders should have been the

I was driving to work in the wee early hours of a Tuesday morning, contemplating editing photos
taken at the inaugural SFGP and putting together a page when I turned on the radio and hear confused
newspeople speculate New York and Washington were under missile attack.
