| On Tuesday night, the new World Trade Center was the focus in lower Manhattan. The lighting on the building seems incomplete and we can only hope it is temporary. |

Today's front-page photo in The Record shows firefighters in Wayne reverently touching a piece of steel from the World Trade Center towers that fell on Sept. 1, 2001.
A story with the photo reports that volunteers on Tuesday helped weed flower beds at the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home in Paramus -- ahead of the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance (A-1).
Most readers can identify with those scenes a dozen years after an attack on America destroyed the Twin Towers across the river from North Jersey, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Pigs on Hogs
Now, look at the photo on the Local front of a bunch of bearded, overweight slobs on motorcycles, members of the Renegade Pigs Motorcycle Club, entering a cemetery in North Arlington (L-1).
The photo caption says the Pigs rode Hogs into the cemetery "to pay their respects" to a fallen Port Authority police officer, a member of the club, who was killed on 9/11.
Undoubtedly, some members of the club are former police officers.
They deliberately modified their Harley-Davidson motorcycles to make them as loud as possible and disturb as many people as possible, knowing cops will give them a pass on violating anti-noise ordinances.
Don't you just love the Nazi helmets worn by many of them? What's that lone African-American doing there?
A cemetery is an appropriate setting. Their motorcycles are loud enough to wake the dead.
Better than sex

And for anyone who couldn't get a seat on a bus or train to Manhattan or who got stuck in a massive traffic jam, don't miss the earth-shaking news in today's Road Warrior column on the Local front.
Staff Writer John Cichowski -- aka "The Addled Commuter" -- continues to mine the obscure and irrelevant, and ignore the commuting mess that affects the majority.
No Cichowski column would be complete without ridiculously inappropriate quotes from his adoring fans, who get such a kick out of seeing their names in print.
"Oh, my God! It's so exciting!" one woman "gushed."
She was referring to the activation of a traffic light on South Summit Avenue in Hackensack, suggesting she hasn't had an orgasm in decades.
