Today is the anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years. I can remember where I was when it happened. I was in my Subaru crossing the Arkansas River on I-44. The morning show I was listening to was doing their 9 O'clock news and came in with the story at about 5 minutes after the hour. I think the bombing was at 9:02 so this was a quick responce. I went home and watched with the nation the recovery efforts. For me it was especially hard as these were fellow Okies.
Watching the memorial service the following Sunday was wretching. It stayed with me for weeks and still does to a small extent.
If you ever get a chance to visit the OK city bombing memorial, it would be time well spent. It will among other things remind you how life is so fleeting and how little control we really have on our mere existance. It's a place where we can go to reflect on our blessings and appreciate the wonderful life we have. So this anniversary reminds me to reflect on these things and that's definately not a bad thing to do.
