Thanksgiving starts with a bang

It was right around 9 AM that a giant explosion shook my building. Most people I've interviewed during my TV days would say, "It was like a bomb went off." Well, in this case it was a bomb. Just over our back wall no more than 200 yards away from my office a suicide bomber in his car detonated himself and took four innocent Afghans with him. This was right between my office and the US Embassy. I took a picture of the smoke which hung in the air for a minute or two marking the spot. If you look very closely, you can see his disappointed soul discovering there are no 70 virgins awaiting his arrival.
