A Mess

by Joe B.

A dripping, wet Friday on Dec. 28, 2001. Oh, to be with trusted lifelong friends, family, or home, snug and warm under covers with that special woman.

Instead of walking Market Streets slick slippery redbrick sidewalks at 8:23 am.

Few people are in on Market, its grey-before nightfall Friday and those that are looking for awnings, building overhangs, restaurants, or using the Bart Station as a bed-rest, nap area, concrete and steel umbrella if like me are walking to work.

I will not prognosticate or guestimate what may happen in 2002 or beyond; technology slowed even before September 11, 2001 so did the economy.

I do know the moment those planes hit the World Trade Twin Towers in New York not only America but whole world changed forever.

Could this have been prevented?

Is this a WAKE UP call?

What were the C.I.A., F.B.I. and other agencies doing?


Who helped betray innocent us on those four doomed flights?

The answers will take decades to discover.

What I do know is the next few years will be of rethinking, rebuilding, careful reexamination of us a Americans in America and what it really means to be An American.

There will be inventions, life saving medical and science technologies, a weird confluence of restarting, dedicating our lives, omens, signs false and true, deaths, births, and a global civilization.

Not only Americans we'll stumble and advance fast than we ever thought possible in large part to remember all the lives lost here and abroad - few if any of these lives lost will be in vain. Peoplekind will continue to thrive, survive, and improve ourselves.

Remember the Dinosaurs died off suddenly, whether it was from a sudden drastic iceage climate changes, one or more huge meteors, or a new virus lifeform, dino's had no immunity to.

Humanity can go as quickly if we do not evolve strategies for our species survival as in asteroid detection/aversion science and technologies, radiation, anti-viral biogene, engineered protection and insusceptibility, we mortals will not self-evolve another thousand to a million years.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm still going to try and be a self employed House Care guy.

Being Honorable, bondable helps as an extra layer of trust.

As a non drug user, drinker, smoker, light vacuume, no laundry-window's guy hoping to improve my life next year... I want to work where I can also write - security guard, Certified Nurse's Aide does not work for me and my office job at POOR is so full there's hardly anytime at all.

Housitting, sitter, or as I call it House Care or House Work Professional.

Growing up in New York with frogs, turtles, dogs, cats, and later in California with iguana's, salamanders, and fish I know how loved and part of the family these pets are and having strangers in they're is nerve racking until you know they are safe, not abused, and cared for.

The pets could hide, show, willful disdain, distrust, and be a pain but if I or anyone is there it is slightly less worrisome when on a business trip or vacation. As you can see my focus is on the House Care Business for next year if a single person, family, or organization chose me as House Care Watcher Professional.

The titles are getting complicated. Now I must get business cards written up, maybe get a land and cell phone.
