When I read comments like this it totally flabbergasts me. When I got
my ticket in September of 1975, it is a day I will never ever forget
till the day I die, (unless i get Alzheimer's or something like that)
Is the getting your ticket that low of importance that you can not even
remember what year?
Not only do I remember the year, 1975, but the month, September, and
the Date, it was the 15th, And a Monday.
It was a dull gray overcast day probably in the 50's, I still remember
opening the mailbox and finding that envelope. Opening it right then and
there, and yelling YEAH!!!!
Then I immediately got in my car and drove to my buddies house (we took
our novice test the same day) And I guess illegally looked in his
mailbox and found the same envelope. I placed the front of it against
the glass of his door and rang the doorbell.
When he opened the door I will also never forget his expression when he
saw that envelope. There isn't a drug out there that could have made
either of us any higher than getting those envelopes that day.
How anyone can not remember this stuff just baffles me.
