I got a similar reaction from my co-workers when it came up in conversation that I had watched the moon landings live on TV... (No big deal around this place).

Wallace was available. Didn't he take about eleven states?

Edit: 10 milllion votes and five states. Nearly two more, which would have thrown the election into the House.

I was sitting on a bench on the Virginia Beach boardwalk after work, wearing full polyester. Somebody walked by with a transistor radio.

I voted in elections that Got Maggie Thatcher back into #10...

(in the UK you vote for your local guy, and the leader of the largest party is usually Prime Minister, sort of like the Leader of the House in the US).

In all my years in the UK, I only once got to vote in a close election in my constituency, and that was 1992 in Cambridge. (John Major's electoral win).

Grew up in the Labour heartlands (North East), did my Graduate stuff in the same (Dundee West), then lived in Cardiff South for a trifecta of Labour shoe-ins. Pretty disillusioning to have a race so pre-determined by your location.

Was about to move to a 3-way marginal (all the major parties at about 30%+/-) when instead I came across the pond.

No votes here yet, so don't blame for anything (from either side.)

That may have been my choice, I really don't remember anymore.

Wow. You get old enough the memories DO pile up, don't they? How many Americans remember the Mayaguez?

I'm a little older than you. I don't recall the Cuban Missile Crisis or JFK's assassination. We were in Scotland. I could look out our front bay window at 100% of the USA's SSBN force in Holy Loch. It would have been a flash of light and nothingness if the Missile Crisis had gone south.

My mother woke me for school, crying, and said Bobby was dead.

The choppers lifted off from the roof of the embassy as I looked up from my pre-calc homework.

One of the Tehran ambassador's children was in my class at UVA. We all wore yellow ribbons (first time I think) on our graduation gowns. I had orders to OCS back at my apartment that day. I was reasonably sure we were going to war. Later that fall when I was at OCS the Soviet tanks rolled into Poland and there was brief talk of commissioning us early to get us to the fleet, but it blew over.

I voted for Reagan in 1984. In 1980 my absentee ballot never made it to Newport. I would have voted for him in that one too.

So many memories . . .

Younger gf with 4 year old, AE, and ongoing masochistic attempts to show that I am still (yet never have been) an athlete should put a multiplier out there.

I feel that I also deserve credit for learning to read from dad's library of WWII books and speaking intelligently about allied submarines before grade school.
