I couldn’t think of anything interested that had happened during the OA weekend but slowly a repressed memory returned.  I had to double check with Chris Fosmire that it had actually happened as the incident was almost somnogogic.

I was in Totem Lodge, the main social building in camp and asked Chris Fosmire when I had gotten Vigil Honor, a level of recognition in the OA and he responded late August of 2001.  Mr. Williams, a crazy machinist who’s been in the OA since the dawn of Treasure Island that perpetually wears safety glasses thought for a moment a looked at me and said: It all makes sense.

Me: What does?
Him: You got Vigil in August and four weeks later, 9/11.

My antithesis stole and nearly ate the microphone in American Ethnicities, the guest speaker wasn’t prepared.  Let’s look in, my commentary is in brackets.  “I think the patriot act is just an excuse [okay], to descriminate against foreigners [a little stretch], because of the nation-less multinationals that control America [stop], and allowed September 11th to happen [stop now], so they could seize power and put down the Mexicans [nice save, wait….].”  I’ve never seen PowerPoint slides go by as quickly after that.
