I want this garage door.

I think I'm going to try a Kindle library loan for a bit, THE LOOMING TOWER: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright. Here is a description:

A gripping narrative that spans five decades, The Looming Tower explains in unprecedented detail the growth of Islamic fundamentalism, the rise of al-Qaeda, and the intelligence failures that culminated in the attacks on the World Trade Center. Lawrence Wright re-creates firsthand the transformation of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri from incompetent and idealistic soldiers in Afghanistan to leaders of the most successful terrorist group in history. He follows FBI counterterrorism chief John O’Neill as he uncovers the emerging danger from al-Qaeda in the 1990s and struggles to track this new threat. Packed with new information and a deep historical perspective, The Looming Tower is the definitive history of the long road to September 11.

It was published in 2006 and has 480 pages. I find I'm interested in some background on the issues. I think we are back at the place of intelligence failure and the policies of this administration are dangerous. I also think Boston was just a testing of the ground. 

Otherwise, it's a typical Saturday, walked the dogs (muddy), did some laundry and vacuuming. I think there's a nap in my future. 

Much love,
