Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had booked my car in for some warranty work, and I was supposed to be there at 8:30, but was a few minutes late. The dealership has a lounge at the back of the service department which seats about 50 people or so. I walked into the service dept., and literally no one was there! I heard people in the lounge and walked back there, saw some GM people crowded around a wide screen TV, and some of the girls were crying. A friend saw me and filled me in on what had happened. As we watched, the 2nd plane hit the tower, and all hell broke loose. The radio reported planes crashing in San Fran, Chicago, D.C., and PA. In fact, I'm getting that "cold chill deja vu" deal as I type this. The dealership sent everyone home, and I, like most, sat glued to the TV trying to make sense of the whole thing, seemingly for days. Later that day I felt the need to go to NYC, to offer what help I could, having a background in heavy machinery & transport, but was thwarted by the fact that the borders between Canada & the US were closed. So, like the rest of the world, I just sat around helpless, angry & confused. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
