In A Clandistine Location On The, Central California Coast, United States
During the gold rush a highway man became known as Black Bart for his inclusion of an innocent poem in the empty strong boxes when he had liberated them from Wells Fargo stage coaches. He was eventually captured by an detective at Pinkerton and sent to San Quintin. After leaving prison he was never heard from again - until his thoughts stated to appear on a computer at a remote military location. When this computer became obsolete, it was sent to a secret location on the Central California coast where it continues to gain knowledge and to write a thought of the day and sometimes longer thoughts for us all to consider.

9-11 Will Be Forever


The memories of 9-11 will be with all the people who are old enough to remember that date and what they were doing at that time. I was at home and watched the actions of the brave first responders. It is impossible to write about the people who ran toward the world trade center and wanted to do all that they could, to insure that everyone in the building survived. The members of the media, who were trying to cover an event that should never have occurred and that no one would ever have predicted. I was recently at the Newseum in Washington DC and the exhibit on 9-11 shows some of what the media did, including a tribute to the TV engineers that lost their lives on top of the World Trade Center where they tended to the main TV transmitters for the New York City area. William Biggart was a photo journalist who was killed when the second tower fell. His camera was recovered and his family has allowed it and the last pictures that he took, to become part of the exhibit. He is just one example of a person going to an event without thinking about what could happen to them.
As an aside I knew a photo journalist who turned in pictures of a huge oil pipeline fire while on leave from the US Army. The city editor was happy about the pictures, but gave him a really bad time because he had gotten so close to the fire.
We depend on the first responders to save lives and to help us return to “normal” after an event like this. Then we depend on the rest of us to give these brave people the help that they need after the event to recuperate from the mental and physical pressures that they face after such an event. The health of the survivors, their families and the first responders remains the responsibility of the rest of the people in this Country. They are the casualties of the war on terrorism. We also depend on the media, to show us those things that we cannot and should not try to see in person.
We give thanks to all of these people and want all of them to know that we will never forget what they did for the rest of us.
