If you want to leave comments, please, by all means, do so. However, any that are purely about politics will be deleted.

]]>I was ok until my Civics teacher, during a discussion of TMI, let this little tidbit fly:
“Frankly, I’m not certain we should be in school. We should all probably be with our families.”
]]>I was 11 at the time, and here in Gburg we had a lot of people from over in Middletown come down here.
Jimmy Carter is a great man.
]]>I too was surprised that it has been 30 years since that event happened. Read about in one of the local papers here..you know the this day in history blurbs they run every day.
I remember the exhaustive news coverage, especially from the NY TV stations, and how noone knew how to react if an accident like that took place in my neck of the woods.
I was 15 at the time, and it was one of the first events that I really paid attention to on the news. The accident caused a great deal of concern in the music industry. The No Nukes concerts here in NYC were born because of it, and various artists recorded songs based on the anti nuke stand. Couple that come to my memory were songs by James Taylor “Stand and Fight” and Dan Fogelberg’s “Face The Fire”.
And leave it to the folks at SNL, who came up with one of the all time best skits they ever did on the show…”The Pepsi Syndrome”. Has been a long time since I saw it, but the accident occurred when Bill Murray spilled Pepsi on the control panel. Garrett Morris played a maid, who was sent in to the reactor to clean up the mess with a mop, and naturally Jimmy Carter, played by Dan Ackroyd helped the maid. They both grew to giants from the exposure to the mess, and the Giant Carter announces to all that he is leaving Rosalyn to marry the Maid. 🙂
Hope all is well.
