      Lucky for me I’m one of today’s 10,000 and have not seen this before.

      Some say the neighor is still pounding on the door. But that kid went in Congress.

      Were you walking with your dinosaur next to Jesus on the beach when the footprints disappeared?

      For me, it was 3rd and Market. It was November 22nd, 1963 at about 1238pm. I was walking past Sal’s Electeonic Emporium when I saw the commotion on the TVs in the display window.

            sorry, force of habit. i’m actually a middle aged dude from canada. (i hope you have a good sense of humour)

            it was actually a few days into my first year of college. i remember waking up, seeing it briefly on the news before making my way to school (remember, this was before cell phones and a lot of web stuff). when i got to school, i remember standing just inside the door by the bar watching it all unfold on one of the big, ugly CRT televisions they had mounted in the lobby area. i called my dad, but i don’t remember the conversation. back then i was still a dumb kid in the dial-up internet days, and i was on a big Nostradamus kick. i remember my ex-girlfriend called me up all freaked out because she remembered me talking to her about some shit i read that sounded a lot like what happened at the time. (i don’t believe that stuff now, but it was all really freaky as a kid at the time)

              It’s fine. Taking at face value you’re supposedly 18 I was remembered of my kids talking about the old days - i.e. 10 year olds talking about stuff merely 2 years ago (Ok to them that’s like a is decade to us). So that granny comment was tongue in cheek as well… :-)
