Inspired by poster orange crush... something I'd thought about posting...
NYC'r who from 9/'80 till 8/'81 worked on the 73rd flr NE corner office of the WTC South Tower 2. The views were glorious!
At 9-11 time we were in a drought. So post 9-11, everyday I'd wake up w a bit of lovely sunshine entering the opposite end of my bedroom. Sweet.
For 10 - 20 mins I'd bask in it. Then...
Like a metaphorical 2 ton truck hitting me...
I'd remember!
This time, every day I wake up and,
I've never forgotten!!
(I guess it's "better" than being re-shocked)
