The New England stations will be playing the Requiem and it's going to be shown on tv.
On a personal note : today I had business that took me to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The gate I usually use was shut tight, metal grid fences and those big cement blocks across the gate. So off to the Main Gate - where the cement blocks were placed randomly making it necessary to weave throough them caefully and slowly. At the guard post all IDs were being checked carefully and the guards were regular troops (under arms) not the usual shipyard security force.
More troops were to be seen on patrol. It really made me think about tomorrow. Then I drove by the Shipyard Fire Station. Some of the firefighters were standing outside and in the center of the front of the building was a huge poster of the firefighters raising the flag at the Twin Towers site. I just lost it. Had to pull over and pull myself together.
Strange how an unexpected thing can grab you unawares, isn't it.
