Where were you on 9/11?

[Gavmazterj]

Firstly, Hotrod, what is TMO?
Secondly, thank you to lowlife and all others who have served.
Thirdly, it was my second year in college and I was at work that morning, waiting tables at a small place in the 'burbs away from campus. The only customer the entire morning/afternoon was a little old widow who must've been 85. She told me that we'd just witnessed the Pearl Harbor of of my generation and that its consequences would "ripple for decades". Prescient insights.
