[AGL] Important pod cast...

[Frances Morey]

I watched 9-11 unfold from the beginning. I was at home at the no longer
extent Ambassador Apartments on 18th and San Antonio Sts. in Austin. I was
in bed on the phone to Julia Gunter watching morning television when I saw
the first Tower go up in smoke in real time.  That's up close and personal!
I have followed documentaries for every shred of circumstantial evidence
that could be found since then. I have my opinions yet what's happening now
is three times 9-11 per day so where's the common sense. Where is the
unadulterated outrage now over COVID-19!

Best,
Frances
