Shortly after the second plane hit the Towers 9/11/01 I was sent to our local border crossing to assist the Customs and Immigration Officers. By 10:30 AM there were good Canadians crossing the border to go to our local hospital and donate blood. I was touched that these folks thought to do this. By 1:00 I was enroute to NYC. On 9/12/01 I was at "Ground Zero" escorting remains to the mourge. I met a priest there who had just arrived from near Ottawa. I explained I lived about an hour south of Ottawa in NY and we sort of hit it off.

I know she was the exception, but I felt a lot more in tune with the priest than the City Cop. On the other hand, just this afternoon I talked to a Quebec trucker who was complaining that he had to go through so much to get into the States. I pointed out that tommorow is 9/11. He replied that, " 9/11 is your problem, not ours." I imagine he voted for Cretain.
