    Rainer. When that one goes Seattle is screwed. My wife’s family lives a fair distance from it and they still worry.

    When Mt St Helens erupted I was living in Vancouver WA that is why I kind of have a fascination with volcanoes. It kind of left an impression on me.

    Me too, I was 750 miles or so away from it. One of the major events to count on your hand to remember, like the NASA Challenger, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, 911...

    Dang. That’s right down range. My wife is from Snohomish and she’s told me stories. Sounds awesome and horrifying all at the same time.

    The moon landings, the evacuation of Vietnam, Reagan getting shot and the Berlin Wall coming down. If I can add to the list.

    The assasination and funeral of John F Kennedy. First big memory of my life. Remember it vividly. Everybody cried for President Kennedy. Everybody. I’ve asked around this country. Everyone says the same. I’m same age as John John. Remember him saluting. Thinking: He lost his daddy.
    If you ever get a chance. The secret service agent who jumped on the back of the limo. He wrote several books. Fascinating. He’ll cause you to fall in love with Jackie.

    So crossing Donner yesterday (WB) a CFL truck folded his self into his trailer. Wasn't snowing but was hailing. Nice long backup. Then 300 yds after that some jackwad blew his clutch I mean blew it clutch plate was laying in the road along with tons of shrapnel all over including a nice river of gear oil 10 ft, wide and across both lanes. How does one F up a clutch trans that bad. The corner right after that was a excersie in trying not to spin out because of oil soaked tires plus water. Found out they shut the road right after I went through. Lucky for me because the routed everyone down Hwy 20. That is one lousy drive when all traffic goes that way.
