Happy Day After The End Of The World! This is the sixth time in my lifetime I've been disappointed. Anyone remember back in the 1980s when all of the planets aligned and the earth was suppossed to be torn apart? At the very least they said the tides would swamp the coastal cities. I think the tides were about 1 foot higher than normal IIRC.

I remember that. I'll never forget it because we were at a church service at the time, and right in the middle of service, all the power went off You can imagine what went through everyone's mind those first few seconds. What struck me was the rush to the doors. Why? I thought, even if it was the end. After the crowd had settled outside, I got up, went out also, only to have all the lights in the area come back on. Still wonder if it was a power worker's idea of a practical joke. Got us going though. Somewhere, somebody is telling thier kids the joke they pulled on a few thousand people that night.The Dog House wrote:Happy Day After The End Of The World!
