I was scheduled to help turn 200 lbs of elk trimmings into sausage on the 11th. No TV here for quite some time, fired up the confuzer and got online (dial-up) just after first plane hit.
Disconnected internet (dial-up, remember?) called neighbor, said I wasn't coming up, turn on your TV (they had one), news says a plane hit WTC.
Dramatic pause, then they asked for the punch line.
I said there was none, a plane hit the WTC! TURN. ON. YOUR. TV!
Unsure of the elk trimmings, know we don't waste nuttin up here.
