Today, I offer up two articles out of New York.
The first is a truly engrossing account from the NY Times (free registration required) of what went on in the World Trade Center before and during the plane crashes on 09.11. It’s emotionally difficult to read at times, but it really gives a more human face to the events that are slowly fading from all our minds. It definitely made it much more real for me.
The second is a more light-hearted story from the Village Voice. It highlights some of the more ridiculous laws in Texas. I’m waiting for a more rebellious Austinite to re-fit one of the ubiquitous pickup shotgun racks to hold the apparently much more illicit (at least according to Texas state law) devices mentioned in the article. Now that would be amusing…
