Fighting the Current

'Mind telling me where all the flags have gone?

It's been six months since September 11. I noticed about three months ago that flags were disappearing rapidly. It really annoys me when people say "nine-eleven" or "nine-one-one" when they are referring to that day. If it had been any other day of the year, would people be shortening it like that? Would we have "four-ninteen" or "nine-one-oh"? Why don't we shorten other days' "titles" to that length?

I had an entire entry planned out in my head, and then I lost it. That happens so often.
