Hey, ya! Hope you have had a great week, Early Bird! :)
Good evening, Luv....any cooling off yet?
We actually just had an hour’s worth of rain.
Good morning Luvy ((HUGS))
Another busy day, so I have to post and run.
Have a wonderful weekend
I’m sure that LUV W remembers this as clearly as I do.
I remember on 9/11 leaving my wife’s house house (we were just dating at the time) and looking towards downtown about 11pm on 9/11 and for the first time in my life seeing the whole of the Midland skyline shrouded in darkness. That’s when the reality and the gravity of the situation we were facing that day really began to set in with me. I didn’t sleep a wink that night...I just kept replaying what had transpired that day over and over in my head.
LUV I was at the intersection of Garfield and Illinois when that happened. First National Bank...dark...Vaughn Building...lights out and on and on.
It was a necessity in more ways than one. No one knew if all the attacks were done. Tall building were obviously a target and Midland was/is #5 in the state for hi-rise office space.
Five of the major oil and gas pipelines run through West Texas..another reason we were a potential target.
And the First Lady’s mother resides in Midland.
Downtown Midland, Texas dark as a tomb...I’ll never forget it.
