Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: At first, I didn't really understand what was going on. I was at work when everything occured and we don't have a radio or television access in my office. Everyone where I work was wandering around, asking everyone else if they knew what was going on. On the way home from work, I listened to the radio, trying to see what was going on, and what had actually happened. But I really didn't get the full picture until I atually saw it on TV when I got home. I sat there, glued to the screen, with my mouth hanging open, unbelieveing. Later that day, a friend and I went to town to get some gas because we heard gas prices were going to be shooting way up. The gas stations, the stores, everything everywhere was pakced with people who were preparing for a full-on war. I remember one time in particular, standing in the Wal-Mart parking lot and gazing around at the sky. There was something different in the air that day, something that you could almost see. The sky looked blank somehow, and full of life at the same time. Was it the spirits of those who had died in the plane crashes and on the ground? Was it God watching over us, and the fact that we could really feel it that day? The sky itself was too quiet with all the flights grounded. People were riding around with "NUKE 'EM ALL" written in shoe polish on the windows of their vehicles and red, white, and blue was everywhere, in every form you could think of. And everyone, everywhere was talking about it. It touched us all. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
