I was five, living in Wichita Kansas, and remember mom and an aunt took us grocery shopping and I remember mom running out of the store with groceries and fell and dropped a bag. She finally got into the car and said the President has been shot.
I remember January 28, 1986 when the space shuttle blew up. I was in Brady Texas running a Radio Shack Store. I remember the high school students coming in the next day telling jokes. The teacher’s eyes were blue. One blew this way, one blew that way. The teacher had dandruff. Her head and shoulders were all over the Florida coast.
I remember February 28, 1993 when the siege at Waco Texas started. I had gone to a convenience store to pick up something that morning and saw several news crews and police cars flying down a highway. Thought there must be a really bad accident out there. Later the events began unfolding on the news. More jokes from that event. What did Saint Peter say to David Karesh at the pearly gates? Well done. How do you fit 100 Branch Davidians in a Volkswagen beetle? Two in the front seat, two in the back seat and 96 in the ash tray. How do you pick up a Branch Davidian woman? With a dust buster.
