with all the symbolism of that date and the just concluded eclipse.

Symbolism? Eclipse? Huh?

Some have noted that 6/11 is 9 months after 9/11, hence the possible symbolism that tomorrow might bring a bigger attack, the resulting 'child' of 9/11. The moon(associated with Islam) eclipses the more powerful sun. Etc.

Not saying I buy it, but these terrorists do seem to get off on symbolism. So if there is a day with heightened risks, tomorrow could be one. Plus it would be an easy agreed upon date upon which they could prepare for without communicating among themselves.

Saw the eclipse today on TV. Here in LA we watched it the old fashioned way, through a cardboard with a pin hole in it, reflected onto another cardboard. Son and I took photos of all the weird shadows that the sun made through the leaves. All the shadows were crescent shaped! We saw this when we lived in Clute when the kids were little, and when we lived in San Marino (late 1980's) we saw an eclipse of the moon. Now we are back in LA and there is an eclipse of the sun. Eerie! I always remember where I was during an eclipse, or return of a comet. Shoulda gone to Griffith Park today. Observatory is closed, but people set up telescopes on the grounds out front. I hope they had a great day there!
