> The local newspaper ran a cover story about a week ago saying that the cleanup at the World Trade Centre had just finished. That made me think; I am completely incapable of comprehending an amount of destruction that would take in excess of eight months to clean up. Not to repair, mind you - simply to clean.

Every so often, I guess, things happen that really drive home the fact that it's much easier to do things than to understand them; any man could have caused all that devastation, but how many of us truly realize how huge it was?

In my mind, they will never finish cleaning up the World Trade Center site.
