Christmas Vacation.

Let's Roll.....

 

Stopped by the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA on Wed afternoon.  

There in the distance is the crash site marked by a large boulder of where Flight 93 went down on 9/11.

The actual crash site can only be viewed by the families of the victims.

 

40 Christmas Wreaths symbolizing the 

40 victims.  

Of all my travels.....

this has to be the most desolate and 

quiet spot that I have ever been to....

period.

It was only me and the National Park Ranger......

pretty eerie!

 

40 tall marble slabs dedicated to the victims of the crash.
The National Memorial is just off of Lincoln Highway/Route 30....
(just a bit east of New Lenox.)
http://www.nps.gov/flni/index.htm

So here comes the cynic in me.......
After I mention to the ranger that it's hard to believe how quiet and
desolate this part of the region is.....
she says to me....
"It's really amazing how great it was that 'our' guys were able to put the plane down in such an ideal spot".

WHHHHHH.....
WHHHAAAAAAA.....
WHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT???

I was assuming she meant the passengers....as I have other feelings.
But then if she did mean the passengers.....not sure how well their navagational senses were when flying upside down at over 500 mph their last minutes........
but I digress.

Mr. James Patrick Farrell was the first correct answer this week.....
with the one and only Linda Denise Blair.
Or as he calls her....
"Scariest Bitch Ever"!!
Either answer would have been correct.

Which is funny because if I recollect....
both Jim and Mr. Kevin O'Connor never made it through
the whole movie and had to run out several times during their
first screening....all the while, Mr. Yanahan stayed,
laughed and ate all of their popcorn.
For this reason alone.....
I have never seen it...or will.

My Mom has a great story which also affirms my reason never to see it.
Her and my Dad were leaving the late showing of the Exorcist at the old Ford City
Theaters and were walking to their car when all of a sudden all of the power to the mall and parking lot.....went out!!
FFFFFUUUUUUCCKCKCKCKKCKCKCKK!

It gets better.....
When they get home.....
the large 5' x 5' framed art on the living room wall falls off of the wall!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Linda Blair was eating grilled cheese sandwiches at our kitchen table....
OK....so maybe I made up that last part but damn.....
