I was really disappointed when I found this out, but not surprised, given how ****ing hot and dry its been.
I was hoping to catch a good fireworks show this weekend at Ft. Sam. The ones at Ft. Carson in Colorado were always spectacular. Oh well...
Yeah, they have canceled most (if not all) of the professional shows here as well. we got a bit of rain last week and the local news was reporting that all of the fireworks stands were petitioning our county government to lift the restriction... LOL! Other than last week and a quick dusting in May, I don't remember it raining here in San Antonio since about Dec or Jan.
Edit: by the way, Hello this is my first post in this forum. I traded in my Hero and got my 3vo yesterday.

Also my first Android phone. It was still clicking really well as far as speed, etc goes. Unfortunately, the charging/battery system had started to crap out. I would leave it plugged in all night (with the LED indicating it was charging) then wake up to a battery that was 9% full. In those times that I could get it to charge all the way, it would run through the entire battery in < 3 hours. The thing is, this happened all of a sudden (it was not a gradual descent into battery hell).
Well, my wife is pregnant and we are due in 3 months and she told me that this setup was completely unacceptable because if she went into labor and my phone was dead that she would flip. She demanded that I go buy a brand new phone to avoid the possibility of this happening (I have a good wife).
This needed to happen anyway because my wife has an Evo, we just put her best friend on our account and she has an Evo as well and it was a little imbalanced with me essentially being tech support for my "wives" and having the least capable phone.

Oh, it is really dry. In Texas alone, we have already had over a million acres burned just this year. Add that to all of the fires in New Mexico, and Arizona and you will get an idea as to how bad it is.
I got a Boomland right down the road right here in good ol southern Missoura. I hate buying expensive fireworks though its a waste on money, all up in smoke literally.

Where are you at in southern MO? I'm in the southeast corner, about 60-70 miles south of STL.
Got 6 fireworks tents within 10 miles of my house, and a huge store about 20 miles north. We always have a big 'ole fireworks display in our driveway, and our neighbors up the road all get wasted and blow **** up. It's a fun time
EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw you're in Dexter in your sidebar lol. Fail on my part. I'm in the Farmington area, about 90 miles north of you.

Fireworks ban in San Antonio sucks.... I'm heading there to see family this weekend, and I was going to load up the truck and trailer with fireworks (I have a friend that owns a few firework tents here, she gives them to me cheap, as a birthday gift).
I just wanted to take a moment in between our tech obsession to remember the people who were lost on 9/11/01 ..growing up in NY this day means alot to me and makes me want to give thanks to the nypd and nyfd, many who were lost attempting to save others. Also to the service men who continue to protect our freedom. You are all heros
AMEN! 10 char
+1
I still can't believe those *****es would do something so horrific to not only our country but to human life in general.
I've been watching all of these 9/11 documentaries the whole week, it breaks my heart to know so many innocent people lost their lives that day. 2200+ innocent people man.
My heart goes out to all of the families that lost loved ones.
Nice thread, let's remember all the fallen heroes and family members that were lost on that day. May god watch over the fallen ones and their family's.

It was horrible ..I was watching from Staten island while the towers collapsed and destroyed Manhattan. I can barely stand to watch the documentaries since they make me cry like a school girl ..the destruction was so complete and the skyline will never be the same. But during this time it also showed the resolve if people ...while people were trying to run across the Brooklyn bridge other were running towards the towers to assist in anyway they could. It is burned into my brain forever ..the smell the dust the desperate people searching for loved ones .. I have since left NY but when you go back you still expect to see the towers there dominating the skyline

Agreed. Very sad and my thoughts and prayers go out to all the family's who lost love ones on that day.
While living in NY at the time it happened, I can tell you I have never seen people come together as one as they did at that time. It didn't matter if you were black, white, chinese, jewish, mexican, etc, at that point in time you were just an American and nothing else mattered!
I wish we could live like that every day and not need such a tragedy to bring people together for a short period of time.
Yea. .ppl did come together that day ..comforting complete strangers. Picking them up off the ground while trying to escape falling debris and the dust cloud that engulfed everything ..it was unbelievable

America is full of spirit today. I love it.
I remember I was sitting on social studies class in high school. I had just bought my two way pager (motorola time port p935) the day before, and I got an alert while I was in class saying that two towers had just been struck by planes. I tried several times to tell my teacher to turn on the tv. He kept askin me "why". I couldn't tell him how I knew, because he would have took my two way. About 5 minutes later, the teacher from the next class came in and told him to turn on the tv. That's when I first saw it.
I'll never forget that moment. I'm not a person to cry much. But I did that when I saw it.
Amen to that, I will never for get that day. I was in school when they were hit and remember watching the news after the first one struck. Then my mom came and got about a half hour after the second hit. God bless all.
Yes. That is a day I will always remember. God bless the USA!

My cousin crystal worked in tower 2 back then...as fate would have it she had to go to her other office for a meeting which was a half a block away ..to make a Long story short, she lost all if her Co workers that day ..I'm am lucky that I didn't lose anyone close that day ..but if your a new Yorker it's. Almost impossible to not know someone who was lost ..

Atmosphere is my **** Aesop Rock Evidence good stuff.
I am everywhere with my music but hip-hop(people that aren't like Nicki Minaj or Waka Flocka) and rock are my main.
I have recently been introduced to the so called "dubstep" and i actually like it. One of my friends let me hear tracks from skrillex, deadmau5, emalkay, flux pavilion, cookie monsta, bass nectar, and blue foundation. Apparently, dubstep has been around in the UK(started there as well) for ages but the US is just starting to talk about it.
I'll probably listen to Smashing Pumpkins until the day I die...but I'm also into Keane, and Travis..

My taste in music varies a bit like most people but some of my favorite bands are RHCP, Beck, Buckethead, Bob Dylan, Kendra Springer, Brad Sucks, Hall & Oates.....
A whole lot of everything but mostly rock. The closest I typically do for electronic mix music is the crystal method.
But as of lately I been getting into all different types of 80s-90s Heavy Metal
Example some Metal Church
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClX_lDSeZYk
Other things I listen to,
Allman Brothers
Alice in Chains
Boston
Van Halen

Nice never heard this. I thought you were about to show me Hospin that dude is mediocre at best.
Love the reaction at the end of the video. Just think this kid is like a yr younger than me and he did all this on his own
I see alot of member's signature's with Military comments, so I wanted to take a minute to say hello and introduce myself! Some things to clear the air......
1. I was never in a war.
2. I never killed anyone.
3. I was never in Special Ops!
4. I have seen an A1 Abrams Tank, HUGE! (They would not let me play with it!)
5. When I was a member of Division Schools, I signed up for B.U.D. School. My black ass lasted 2 hours before they kicked my ass out!!! (Did get free trip to Hawaii?)
6. I went to Team Sprit in South Korea in 1982. I found that my peepee dont work at 30 below zero!!! Even if you get hooker, your stuck!
7. I tried boxing one year. Round one I beat the crap out of Puerto Rican in Army. Round two, I beat the crap out of him again. Round three, I was too tired to lift my arms, I tried to run the Puerto Rican took a liking to my ribs. I lost!
8. I went to jail twice in Japan. Once, we were all riding in a Duce 1/2 heading to Kadena Air Base and we had bright idea to all try our gas mask. Japaneese PoPo did not like that joke!
9. I did J.E.S.T (Jungle Enviroment Surival Training) in the Phillipines. It took them 6 month of canceellation before they put me in this one week course. I walked the streets of Subic Bay for 6 months! One thing I did learn, If you do not eat for 3 days, everything taste like chicken!
10. Getting around a Aircraft carrier is not as easy as one might think!!
Speaking of Aircraft carrier's, if you seen that movie with Owen Wilson "Behind Enemy Lines" Where that aircraft carrier is out at sea alone, that filiming is BS! You will NEVER see an Aircraft Carrier alone unless it's docked!!! It's pack of support ships, destroyers, sub always leaave first to support it. Same with reverse, That carrier docks first before anyone comes home!
What's up,
SGT. Moonz, reporting.
Wanted to introduce myself too, I was in the Army, Active duty for 7 years (02-09)
I was stationed in Kitzingen, Germany for 3 years then in a NATO unit in Naples, Italy. Was also stationed in Ft Gordon, Georgia and Ft Huachuca, Arizona.
2 combat tours in Bahgdad Iraq.
First tour I was the Lead gunner on my Co. Convoy team, over 300 logged Combat Patrols.
Second tour I was a team leader for my commo team, attached to the 2nd Infantry div. And 10th Mountain div. In tiny J.S.S.'s (joint service stations with Iraqi forces) and C.O.P.'s (combat out posts) in Bahgdad. I don't want to get into all the other stuff but, just wanted to checkin and say Hoooooaah.

Comical, but I was a journeyman machinist when I got out, and for the last 18 years I have been a Paramedic. Life is strange, but it has been a good ride so far.

I have family in virtually all branches of the service and its fun to sit around a camp fire with them (having a few beers, of course) and listen to some of their stories. Its amazing the things that they have seen and experienced.
My favorite story is the one my grandfather tells about watching the guys raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He as down a little ways on the hillside when it happened and says that it was a pretty powerful experience. He was in the Marines. In fact, they invited him back to Iwo Jima not to long ago to reunite with other Marines that fought there. I don't think there were many of them still alive. To this day he doesn't want to go on a cruise because he says that he has "spent enough time on the damn ocean."

Being a New York native and personally affected by the events of 9/11 I would like us all to remember the lost, thank the hero's from that day and commend our soldiers who continue to fight for our freedom. Thank You...I will never forget the events of this day 11 Years ago and the way people came together after as Americans to help any way they could ...from giving blood to digging through the wreckage for survivors .. 8:46 am 9/11/01
I'm on the West Coast and don't know any victims but my heart grieves for those that are still grieving. God Bless America

These kind of tragedies should remind us of more important things in life. We shouldn't dwell on the past, but it puts things in perspective. Not getting the latest update from Google is a small thing compared to major world events. I would like to thank all those who serve our country and keep us safe. 9/11 was the worst day for our country that has happened in my lifetime.

To americans everywhere support our troops and troopettes regardless if you agree with the war or not. Remember thats someones daughter,son,sister,brother,grandchild. 9/11/01 i will always remember. I lived only 1hr from shenksville and helped with the search and cleanup efforts.

Ive been a Paramedic doing 911 for 15 years....Ive lost friends on the job in fires or some other accident....you never know what that day will bring because someone decides to to some random act of violence or what not. Heart goes out to the victims of 9/11
I remember I was in my college dorm watching it on the tv. That was a crazy day. The campus was shut down. We couldn't believe it. All the higher security after. And this was in Louisiana.....It kinda started me towards being a firefighter.

Here's my screensaver for the day. Remembering the kony and the towers.
Was in military the day it happened. We were told to make sure our wills were filled out right, bc we were going to war the next day. Was very surreal.

God bless America. Also everyone should know yesterday a cop officer Patrick O'Rourke was murdered by some embezzling douche that didn't want to go to jail in my home town West Bloomfield MI.

I used to work in the WTC, and across the street at the WFC. Watched the towers go up when I was a kid. As a First Responder worked the '93 bombing.

On September 11, 2001 I was in the Pentagon, around the corner and down the hall from the point of impact. I had just helped a lady find an office in that section, and she was killed there less than 10 minutes later.
I can't begin to talk about the rest of that week, but I had to burn my uniform and boots after because they were contaminated.
I am still in the Pentagon, although I am now a civilian. I still have a graphic with photographs of the people who died here that day (minus the terrorists) in my office. I look at that graphic every day.
I will never forget.

I work with his brother in law and know his wife. It's really messed up all of the senseless acts that leave children without parents and parents without children. He left behind four young kids and a wife.

I was still in High School in NYC and remember that it was a nice day just like today. The school managed to keep it contained until late in the day, at which point it was a devastating shock. Thoughts and prayers to those who lost loved ones that tragic day.

I was in second grade when it happened. My teacher played the news for our class and I was so traumatized by the event that I went to therapy for a bit as a kid. Never forget.

I was a freshman in hs. In the shower at the time when first plane hit. My dad came pounding on the door "we've been attacked!" Was late goin to school cause I was glued to tv. In every class the news was on, no one did anything that day. No one even went out of their rooms for break or lunch. We all stayed in watching the events fold. And to this day I especially acknowledge every one in the military as I work a lot in different bases as a civilian contractor. It's especially hard at places like the navy medical center in san Diego. The ones in wheel chairs with half their bodies missing from ied's. I make it a point to stop and thank them for their service. Everyone in our office now does it every time no matter where we work. And I want to say thank you for your courage and honor you bestowed to this country on Sept 11th and on to anyone here that I can't personally shake hands with.
