    Does anyone remember the Tanker Crash in Green River Wyoming that tied up I-80 between Rock Springs and Green River all evening and night back in October 1989? I think that It was a Schneider Truck that rear ended a Tanker.

    Do You know what happened there, and what the circumstances were?

    I have heard so much about It at the time, but there were no news reports about It afterwards.

    Hey, hold on!

    I can remember a dream I had when I was TWO (yes, TWO) years old in 1962, but I can't recall what I had for breakfast yesterday.

    That would place 1989 just on the cusp of my memory...


    But it has piqued my interest...why the inquiry (if you care to share)?

    Nope...nothing here.

    Try 1969 and I might strike oil in the desert sands of my mind.
