9/11 I was about to leave for work and turned on the TV right after the first plane had hit the tower and no one was sure what had really happened yet. Watched the 2nd one hit.

I was working at the big game processing place, and the boss (a Korean War-era vet) sent everyone to the gas station across the street and filled our vehicles. He was a little freaked out, as we all were, but he reverted to his military training and was taking care of his "troops". It was kind of touching. I remember he said, "Gas is going to go through the roof over this. I bet it hits $5.00 a gallon." It was maybe $1.65/gal then. He died earlier this year...I wonder if he knew how close he was to being right, albeit late?
