I go to London and see the busy multitudes in Fleet Street and the Strand, and it comes across my mind that they are but the ghosts of the past, haunting the streets that I have seen silent and wretched, going to and fro, phantasms in a dead city, the mockery of life in a galvanised body. And strange, too, it is to stand on Primrose Hill, as I did but a day before writing this last chapter, to see the great province of houses, dim and blue through the haze of the smoke and mist, vanishing at last into the vague lower sky, to see the people walking to and fro among the flower beds on the hill, to see the sight-seers about the Martian machine that stands there still, to hear the tumult of playing children, and to recall the time when I saw it all bright and clear-cut, hard and silent, under the dawn of that last great day. . . .

And strangest of all is it to hold my wife's hand again, and to think that I have counted her, and that she has counted me, among the dead.

God bless, Mo.

Wow, Mo. That must send chills.
The same thing happened to a neighbor in Mossyrock. Her husband was working as a logger in the next county, and on the radio in the car we heard that a logger by his name had died when a tree fell on him that morning in the next county -- only it wasn't him. It was someone else. It was sobering.

On a lighter note .. it seems history repeats itself

Any time the wings of the Angle of Death brush your shoulder, it's sobering

BBL, I have to go get ready to help unfurl the world's largest US flag at taxi way H at the Alameda. See some of you there???

[ValerieUSA]

Take PICTURES!

In Vallejo on Curtola Parkway, the street the passes along the waterfront, is a line of flags in the median. The flag of every state in the union is there. Today, however, the state flags were gone, replaced by American flags flown at half staff.

I won't be there. I wish I could. It would be thrilling.

[Mo1]

BBL myself .. chores to do

[ValerieUSA]

The flag was at half staff at the high school and in front of the Bank of America today. It's uniting, isn't it?
