Today is nothing like September 11 8 years ago, but I can't stop thinking about that day, nonetheless. Instead of crystal clear blue skies, today's skies are grey and saturated with rain.
As I was listening to the "moment of silence" on the radio, I wondered why that big ugly hole is still in lower Manhattan, much the same as when I saw it in 2005. My friend Becky posted a link from the Huffington Post with similar sentiments:

and then I read the New York Times editorial:

It's time to acknowledge in a physical way this tragedy, honor those who died or sacrificed for us, and move on.
