memories,of mine...

i have a story to relate of an event that happened eighteen years ago,today... the night before the event,i was in Carson City,Nevada,actually lost in a cul-de-sac,and i had hurt my legs that day so bad that i could not walk any more,so i actually had someone call the police to help me... so i slept in the lobby of the police station,on a bench,and reading a book... the next morning,i walked into a casino,sat down,and watched CNN's coverage,of the Oklahoma City Bombing,which killed 168 people... politics aside,a great tragedy... amazingly,exactly one year later,i was in Oklahoma City,looking at the bombing site... to this day,it still affects me greatly... over the next three days,i was in a motel,in Stillwater,Oklahoma,and i watched kids playing soccer,as i walked around town,and also spent time traveling around rural Oklahoma,those three days... to this day,except for a bus trip,to Boise City(Cimarron County),from Amarillo,Texas,in 1991,those four days are the only days that i have ever spent in Oklahoma,in my life... just a memory,of a tragic,sad day,and the aftermath of that day that still affects me,to this day...
