Huck's Report from Manhattan

The man's doing the Lord's work; I understand the scene is nightmarish.
I'm sure he didn't bank on doing that kind of work when he set-out to attend a measly conference in the big city.

You'll have to make sure to write me offline & relay the tales he'll surely have to tell.

Great report. Thanks for the flag. Saw some pretty fabulous photos taken (apparently) from a nearby rooftop ... photo #9 is breathtaking.

[AnnaZ]

GREAT report, Huck. Thanks!

 

BUMPTTT!

[Who is John Galt?]

BUMP!

Huck, thank you for your story. It was riveting, to say the least. Can't imagine being in that kind of an event.

Sandy, thanks for the photos. They were outrageous! You can't see these things on television.

Huck, thank God you are alive and well! I flagged Non-Sequitir and tried to flag you on the same post. When you did not respond, I got extremely scared. All differences aside; I am very happy to hear from you. Stay safe, Huck, and hope to be "arguing" with you again one day when our favorite debate seems important.

Mac, I have a request. Could you please use your flag list and alert everybody that one of our favorite Confederate debating partners is alive, well, and survived the WTC bombing? Thanks in advance.

[Huck]

Thanks brother. That's real kind of you. I tell you, I was deep into a book called Arguing Over Slavery, which recounts the battles in the House of Representatives in the 1830's when the whole world changed on me. Haven't cracked it open again since Tuesday. I suppose we've all had abit of an attitude adjustment lately. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes. I really appreciate it.

I am supposed to be flying down to Birmingham for Thanksgiving this year, to be with my uncle, aunt, and cousins. I once drove from Alabama to New Jersey in 16 hours. I'm considering not flying after all. I guess I'll see how things are going come November. I am not sure when I'll be in the mood to argue American history. All I can say is I hope y'all aren't thinking of seceding now. We have far too many hard hearted warriors in the Southland to go into a war without them.

Thanks for the detailed report, and thanks be to God for your safety. I had just arrived at work when I heard the news. Suddenly, all the little things I had been complaining about that morning seemed insignificant. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like. For those of us so far away, it still seems surreal. Even the images of the plane slamming into the building looks like something out of Hollywood. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy.

Glad you are safe, Huck. My prayers are with you. :)

Tower One was where I used to work years ago, and I had friends in Tower One and the 99th floor of Tower Two. If they were still there, they are probably now dead. For those who have never been to The World Trade Center and remember what it was, cannot really know how much was lost in this horribly terrible act of mass murder and destruction. This murdering filth must pay in blood, God so help me.

American Bump. I am very glad you are safe Huck.
