Thankfully, the OJ freeway episode I barely remember, if at all. I wish
otherwise however, that incidents like 9/11 and OKC hadn't happened, and
I very distinctly remember where and what I was doing when both those
tragedies happened

We had just moved into our last house in Ohio and were home that week
unpacking. I don't think it mattered where you were...it seemed surreal.

Dinner tonight was a traditional quiche lorraine, a salad of wild greens
with a mild mustardy vinaigrette, and fresh peach shortcake.

This sounds really good.

I was at home in San Diego, marveling at the special treatment given to the
murder suspect simply because the suspect was famous and the case was in the
public eye. There's no way *all* murder suspects get that kind of
consideration!

Lunch tonight is a sandwich: A big French sandwich roll, slices of
lime-chipotle grilled pork tenderloin which were lightly drizzled with Maggi
sauce, and cabbage and halved cherry tomatoes which were salted, sprinkled
with white pepper, and soaked in rice wine vinegar. I plan to heat the pork
before putting it into the sandwich. I haven't figured out what I'm going to
cook when I get home tomorrow morning; it'll probably be a tiny bit of
prosciutto and cantaloupe so that I don't go to bed hungry.

I agree with Sky. While I *do* remember where I was during the time, I
didn't stay to watch it. I've never considered it a huge event in
history, for me.... Things like 9/11, the OKC bombing, the Challenger
Disaster and numerous forest fires around my home, etc... I remember
quite well.

Strangely, I don't recall the media (or anyone) making a huge deal out
of the first WTC attack, or the attack on the USS Cole. Maybe it's
hindsight perception though.

Oh, my goodness where were you at the time? I was awakened by my
neighbor calling me to turn on the TV. It was on every channel
here... or are you talking about the truck bomb a few years earlier?
That one got press too. So did Oklahoma.

It got lots of press, but not as much or as sustained as WTC IMO.

Yes, I was referring to the 1993 car bomb explosion at the base of the WTC.

I remember my 9/11 and OKC days well, but nothing like the details I
recall of 11-22-63. I can relive just about every hour of that day.

I missed the bronco episode - was on a road trip at the time.

I think that was the first time I ever saw my mother cry. I had just
turned three.

Dinner last night was chicken breast quesadillas with home grown sweet
chiles, onion, and Mexican white cheese on whole wheat tortillas. Cherry
tomato halves from the garden decorated the tops as did the salsa.

We watched the car chase as it happened too, if it had been in Louisiana
some police officer would have shot the bastid if he didn't stop.

My mother had cried earlier that year, when Pope John XXIII died. Then she
cried again when Kennedy was shot.

At work, trying to get some work done but the fools kept turning the
damn TV on. Who gives a **** about OJ, he killed his wife and because
he was a celebrity he got preferential treatment, he should of got the
needle.

I doubt they would have shot a well known celebrity although I
couldn't blame them if they shot out his tires.

Come on, he's a person like the rest of us. So he was a good
quarterback, whoopee. You don't stop when you're told to by the police
then you get what you deserve, even if it's a bullet. I have no
respect for some celebrity that thinks the law doesn't apply to them,
he should of got the needle instead of jail time.

Which only goes to show you'd make a lousy policeman. Real life isn't
TV or the movies. People get shot and policemen are relieved of duty
while the situation is fully investigated and "the victim's" family
sues everybody in sight.

The jury decided that part. I think he's guilty too, but they didn't.

No. I have no idea. I just remember seeing endless replays and wondering
why the police weren't more aggressive in chasing down a suspect in a
vicious murder.

Cutting up the meat and giving it a liberal sprinkling of salt and a
bit of pepper and letting it sit for at least 10 minutes helps to give
chicken breast flavour a boost before stir frying.

Really, I thought your police were like Bad Boys, Cops, or Extreme
police chases.. run from us and we'll shoot you.
