Watching the South Tower say "Sayonara!" on a 4-5 knot ebb followed by C.B. riding by shouting, "You better get your sh*t together fast!", I figured I better and did just that.
Glad you listened :)
a few years ago I broke a line and washed up at the back of Ft.Point when I climb over the wall with my gear Homeland Security was there waiting from me. I looked in their police car and Clinton Bolton ( Best team Rider) was in handcuff. I guess they figured he was Al-Kite-A.
