"...it was simply amazing to see what those passengers did. That man was at least 6-foot-2 and so violent," said JoAnn Rockman, a Flossmoor resident who was returning from a California wedding with her husband and 14-year-old son.

Courtney and I had a pleasant weekend. We're enjoying the cooler weather. On Saturday night, we hooked up with Lonnie and Susan for supper in Columbia. Afterwards, we went to 'Pony Espresso' to listen to a couple of guys playing the blues. They did a few Hank Williams covers that were good. On Sunday, we went to a family reunion in Laurel. It was nice to see the Wells family again.

A rare Saturday post...
Military Options in Afghanistan - Interesting little article with some projections.
America's War Plan, Part 5: Follow-On Theaters of Operation This article is interesting. It reminds readers that it took the U.S. six months to deploy troops for Desert Storm. It also points out how the U.S. has avoided responding to terrorism in multiple Islamic countries. It suggests that Iraq will be a target, but only later.

We're hoping to see Hearts in Atlantis today.
