Life was not perfect in 1978, but it was SO much better than today. Mostly because the people were so much better than they are today.
So thanks to me being born in December of that year, I ushered in the bad people we have today, which makes me the worst of them all.
Agree
No, you just didn't have Internet and a camera in your pocket apart of a phone to show the world so much to compare, and life is what you make it.
@@wheelieblind I respectfully disagree. Morality was not as subjective then as it is today. That's not to say that we were saints by any stretch, but the common people in this Country still had an idea of what was right and what was wrong. I lived then and I know. I have NEVER seen our Nation as bad as it is now.
I don't recognize America today. The 70's/80's were the two best decades. I feel very lucky to have been old enough to experience, and remember so many incredible times. It's so sick what happened to America. Decades of immorality can kill a nation.
" It's so sick what happened to America.." That's exactly what my grandparents were saying in the 80's about the 40's.
@Anthony Cavitt racism,whites only?
Agree
I agree 100%
Said every old person ever about the years they themselves were at their peak.
It was an eventful year for me, I got married at the ripe old age of 20 and was starting out my career as a tradesman. I just retired as a general contractor and am still married, yes to the same person!
You married a person? I should have done that.
You're the same age as my dad
That’s Fantastic ❤️🤗❤️
Congrats 👏🏾. My parents got together a year later and 3 kids later, they're still going strong
The best year of my life
I was 21, and stationed in Denver as an USAF Medic. I had just bought my first new vehicle, a bright red '78 Datsun King Cab. The singles scene was big then, with lots of indoor and outdoor concerts, trips to Peaches records and tapes, and dates at the local Roller Rink. Weekends were full of apartment complex and outdoor park parties, tennis, playing "Hacky Sac", and Frisbee. There was a real feeling that the future was so bright, that we'd all have to wear shades. 🤔😎
Well said. My first car was a Datsun 510, later had a Datsun 280ZX w/ t-tops. So many parties back then, usually several kegs, often ending when cops responded to neighbor's complaints. The first time I ever saw my first love was in high school, he was playing hacky-sac with a circle of guys in the smoking area.
Graduated HS in 78, made $2.90 an hour working and beginning college. Inflation was rampant that year at 9%, feels like we're seeing that rerun of the Carter years in 2021.
Except now the hostages aren't in Iran.
I remember the ‘WIN’ buttons: Whip Inflation Now, which some wag in the Carter administration turned upside down. When he was asked what ‘NIM’ stood for he said, “No immediate miracles.” 🤣
@@itinerantpatriot1196 I know..they are the vaccinated people being held hostage eternally by the unvaccinated MAGAT cult
Superman, Grease and Halloween...what great movies that year!
✌🏼😎👍🏼These Timeline videos are so good that they almost make one believe that the narrator lived through the featured years
I graduated High School and entered college in the fall of 1978. It was a great time to be alive and carefree. Great memories! Thanks for sharing this video.
The year of my High School graduation. Our senior class trip was an 8 hour bus ride to Washington DC. We played Free Bird and other great songs playing cards all night long on the way there.
Free Bird was the best. We used to call each other when it came on the radio - "Free Bird's on, full version! Turn on (KROQ, KLOS or The Mighty MET)
Yeah 78 is great lol, that was the year I graduated in Texas. The movie Dazed and Confused just about sums it up in those days. Still remember my 1970 blue Camaro I had.
1978 was my senior year in Lewisberry PA. We had so much snow that we were almost never in school. So many good times. Will never forget it.
It was also my senior year. We still had to walk 30 miles to school in the snowstorms. We walked up hill both ways.
I was in my dorm at Ohio State when the blizzard hit. It was a big party until the beer ran out. I volunteered to go out in the storm to see if I could find any. I walked out on three inches of ice, wind just about knocking me over, and not a soul in sight. Felt like I was on Mars. Then I got to the liquor store, and it wasn't just open, it was packed.
I had a similar experience at Millersville State College in Pennsylvania. With the snow plows busy elsewhere, one of my fraternity brothers had the crazy idea to go skijoring behind a friend’s car along the streets of the Brookwood Court Apartments. Amazingly, no one was hurt. He did have the forethought to wear a motorcycle helmet. #drunk&foolish
Heavy snow and Heavy Drinking, .... heheheheee !
Great video slightly mispronounced Menachem Begin and Margot Kidder . otherwise quite good
I was watching the Gator Bowl the night Hayes took that swing at the Clemson linebacker......my Dad said "he is done coaching,they will have to fire him".
That blizzard was a great time to be a kid. Jumping off houses, snow forts forever, random snowball fights with strangers...of course waking up under the dashboard after an accident, it's also when I started wearing seatbelts.
An eventful year for me. Married at 23, lived in Colorado, Montana and Missouri. Thank you for these wonderful videos, brings back so many wonderful memories, and some not so wonderful.
Also in 1978:
"Card Sharks", "Mork and Mindy", "WKRP in Cincinnati", and "Diff'rent Strokes" premiered
The video game "Space Invaders" was released.
Kobe Bryant and James Corden were born that year.
This is why I think he should make these Remembering vids longer, maybe 20-25 minutes. By keeping to 8-9 minutes, he doesn't have much time and leaves out a lot of stuff.
Shazbat!
Jaws 2
mork & mindy was a game changer for many standup comedians . watched every show .. exador , jonathan winters [ season 4 } .
Graduated HS in 78. Simple free times. RnR, weed, bars and girls. What a decade to grow up in! First job at a lumber yard at $3.25/hr.!
Still love watching reruns of Taxi - such a good show. I remember going to see Grease and Superman in the theater that year. Seeing the man of steel on the big screen was a long-time wish come true.
Believe “animal house” was also released in 1978. It and star wars were the first movies I remember seeing twice.
Don't forget Halloween
I remember the blizzard of '78 very well. I grew up on a small farm in Northwest Ohio and the day before was unseasonably warm and rainy. The rain turned to sleet and snow the next morning while we were at school. They sent us home early because the snow and wind intensified so fast. We only got about 12" or so of snow but, because of the wind, it drifted enough that we could walk from the ground all the way to the peak of our barn. We were fortunate enough to have a big fireplace for heat and cooking after the power went out.
I remember that weather before the storm. Warm, rainy and then the snow hit! I too was in NW Ohio and 8.5 months pregnant. Not fun!
I remember the snow storm.
We dug out caves in the snowbanks. Fun for us kids but our parents were pretty stressed out.
What a bunch of wimpy parents. I hope you gave them heck.
The best year...EVER! I was born in the spring of 78! :) Thanks, for the trip down memory lane! :)
I was in the third grade and turned nine in the autumn. My greatest interest was being a Cub Scout. That summer I went to a week long Cub Scout day camp where I learned how to paddle a canoe, use a bow and a bunch of crafts. Still have the pocket knife sheath I made that week. Our family vacation was to my uncle's lake cabin that had no electricity or running water so I had my first experience with an old fashioned outhouse. That made me appreciate electricity and indoor plumbing.
1978 - one great for me! I remember everything presented here in this video as if it was yesterday - only 40+ years later.
I had forgotten that it was President Carter who signed that bill in '78 about home brewing, as I just had a high alcohol craft beer just before I watched this video.
I lived thru the blizzard of 78😯🌬🌨❄ I was out of school for a week, my father was stuck at work for 3 days for he could make it home . Thanks for sharing
This is the year I got married wonderful simpler times
Turned 13 that year. Living in the northeast I remember the blizzard of '78 too well. The year WKRP in Cincinnati premiered too. Great show.
What a wonderful trip down memory lane..... Thank you, so many great memories.
July 1978 I arrived at Lackland AFB. A million times I have pondered "if only" I had made a career of it.
I joined the Air Force the same year. Was at Lackland in October.
Me too 12 JUL 1978
3701 BMTS FLT 63 TI was SSgt Swilling (old mob dorm buildings, no a/c in summer)
I was only 4 in 1978,but remember seeing Grease and Superman the movie brand new at the drive in movies in Carson City NV,those kind of great memories stay with you for life.
Me Too!
Also in 1978…
Diff’rent Strokes starring Conrad Bain, Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges and Dana Plato premiered on NBC. 📺
So......... just kidding
all dead.
@@holdenmcgroin9774 No, Todd Bridges is still alive.
All but Todd Bridges.
1978 was noteworthy for me because it was the year I graduated high school. I remember telling friends who were moving onto college I wanted a year to think about it. That year to think about it finally came to an end in 1992. Beyond that I will say I loved Taxi. Jim Ignatowski was one of my all-time favorite TV characters, rivaled only by Jethro Bodine. And I'll never forget Woody Hayes punching out that player from Clemson. My friends and I were watching that game and as Wolverine fans we knew the moment he did it the storied rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State would never be the same. Not that it's much of a rivalry now but that's a topic for another conversation (I mean, the other team has to win now and again for a rivalry to exist). Anyway, here's to gas for less than a buck a gallon and Bo and Woody. May they all RIP.
This was my senior year, also, although I grew up on the other side of Toledo. The blizzard happened about a week after my birthday (the second year in a row that we had one in northern Ohio).
That was the year I graduated from high school,June 6th,1978, also a very good friend of mine Janice Marie Wong died, November 8th,1978. I still think of her, a lot.
I was working as a mechanic and got stuck in a ditch on the way to work. I sat there for 6 hours until a road grader clearing the road came along and pulled me out. Luckily I had a full tank of gas so I could run the heater.

Another great flashback by recollection road!, I could stay up all night watching these flashbacks,wait i do stay up all night watching these vids,Great job!!!
I was 9 yrs old. I can remember so well of the people laying there dead in that jungle. I wish so much i had all of my Superman, Star Wars, Rocky, Evil Knievel, etc., merchandise. Not to sell, but to keep those memories close to me.
I'm sure that's true of plenty of us, Mark.
I look at pics of my Christmas's as a kid in the early-mid 60's, all the early GI Joe stuff and the vintage toys that become more and more expensive with each passing year now and I feel the same way. I had a bunch of Lionel trains, the big, heavy cast iron locomotives and miles of that three track tracks too. All gone. But it sure is pretty in those old color pics!
I was living in Austin Texas, I think Earl Campbell was playing for the Longhorns, and life was Gooooood! No, as it turns out he graduated in '77. Was in Austin then too. 23 and still in my first job out of school. Inflation hadn't set in for me yet. Fond memories. Thank you again for the great video!
Earl won the 1977 Heisman Trophy, and was the #1 draft pick in the 1978 NFL Draft. The undefeated and #1Longhorns played the #5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Monday, January 2, 1978. Everyone in the country was expecting the Longhorns to win their 4th national championship, but Joe Montana and the Irish beat them 38-10. That made for a terrible start to 1978 for me and my family. I remember it like it was yesterday!🤘🇺🇸
Loved Earl Campbell, “the Tyler Rose.” Nice man.
@@yvettesanchez4691 yeah Earl was a skoal brother !
I believe Earl Campbell was playing for Houston as a rookie that year
This is the year I graduated high school
me too!
where were you standing in the photo?
This is the year I got expelled from high school.
You know the narrator wasn’t around in 1978 when he pronounced “Ma-Knock-Um” Begin’s name the way he did. 😂😂😂
It sounded like he said: Mina-CHEM BEE-gin Haha. These whippersnappers didn't hear the news we have heard.
My thoughts exactly.
Also MarGOT Kidder, the t is silent.
@@Catmom2004 - I noticed that too!
And MarGOT Kidder
I remember watching Bucky Dent hit that home run against Boston.
I remember the year 1978, I was living on my own and I was working on my 3rd year working at Hudson's Eastland Mall. I also remember the movie Grease starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton- John. I seen the movie Grease 🎥 18 times. And, when it was on TV.
I was 8 years old! I remember the winter for sure!
That was the year I transitioned from junior high to high school. Grease sound track was all over the top 40 radio stations. Finally surpassing Saturday Night Fever for the #1 spot. Saw Star Wars.. even after a year still long lines. My older brother got a cassette player in his car, we thought it was so cool!! Isn't that when gas hit a $1 a gallon.. long gas lines. I thought my grandfather was going to have a heart attack over that. It was a good year.
I remember the snowstorm I was 10. The electricity was out for days and since our furnace also operated on electricity, we used the oven to stay warm. (I know, I know but we lived!;💔
In July of 1978, Universal Pictures released "Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band" with Peter Frampton, Sandy Farina and the Bee Gees was released. Five months later, the very same movie company also released "The Wiz" with Diana Ross as Dorothy Gale, Lena Horne as Glinda the good fairy of the south, Thelma Carpenter as Miss One the good fairy of the north, Richard Pryor as the Wiz, Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, Nipsy Russell as the Tinman, Ted Ross as the Cowardly Lion, and Mabel King as Evilene the wicked witch of the west.
Sure, but everyone will forever remember 1978 as the year of Dallas and Superman... and the blizzards.
Remember when news was actually from “around the globe”, and not just propaganda?
I remember it that year, it was Christmas Eve evening we were living in Ohio and we were on our way to my grandma and grandpa’s for the our traditional Christmas Eve Party, in Indiana which generally is about 45 minutes away. I remember as a little kid being scared and, I kept hoping we would turn back, but, my dad drove slow and, was calm and cool. My uncle brought the house next door to grandma and grandpa’s that year, so, he started hosting the Christmas party because, his house was bigger. We stayed up in Indiana for quite sometime but, when, it was time to go back home, dad done the same thing coming back and, we made it back home safe and sound. We also missed a lot of school that year. My dad was home on medical leave for quite sometime, so, on days we had to go to school that year, we had aways to walk to our bus stop, we lived almost at the end of the road, several times, I only got so far and had a couple of bad falls from where the ice on the road we had to walk and the side walks weren’t fully cleared, my brother would get me back to the house, and my dad would just tell us he would tell us just to stay home, he’d call the school and fix us up a glass of hot chocolate, with marshmallows or with the good stuff, fluff. Fluff in hot chocolate is soooooo, yummy!
Great memories!!!
Minimum wage for me in 78' was $2.65 hourly.
$2.70 p/h for me.
Same here
and by the next year was $3.35.
First “regular “ over the table job I had - 1980 - was $2.90/hr. Believe minimum went to $3.15 briefly, before being pegged at $3.35 an hour to the end of the eighties.
1978 I graduated HS in May, but I had been going to HS in the morning, working at a radio station as a DJ from noon to 5, and also taking college classes at night since early 1977. I was 18 in March, and dating my fiance and the love of my life, a gorgeous redhead. Nothing was bad about that year, not the music, the movies, not anything. 'Cept maybe a lot of work. Grease was a big movie that year and the music from it was all over the radio. In the fall, Chevy Chase who had been the first to desert SNL had a movie come out with Goldie Hawn called "Foul Play" and I got a real kick out of it. My fiance and I got married the next year in June 1979, the both of us a ripe old 19. I was an AM/FM radio DJ and also program director by then. In 1981 I became a deputy sheriff and in 82 we had a son. Together ever since. I had a couple of choices to choose from and I really feel I made the best choice. I wish for everyone the same. I think the key is during down or hard times (they WILL happen) is in not letting yourself think there's someone or something better elsewhere or it's all DISPOSABLE, you can get out. (If you're not being tortured that is) That's a throwaway mentality and it's gotten worse and worse with each passing year in our society. Mostly in your 20's that's the hormones talking and they will torture you through at least half of them just like your teens, but it passes. When we got married in '79 I think the divorce rate was something like 26% and climbing. I'd hate to know what it is today. Many we know of have made it too, but a lot more didn't. Her mother and father got married at 19 as well. They marrin 1959 and are still together in their 70's. I ♥1978!!! Best year of my life.

Just a heads up that your Super Bowl Champion was from the 77 season. The 78 season Super Bowl champs were the Pittsburgh Steelers who beat the Dallas Cowboys 35-31.
@@joeheid4757 I usually do the Super Bowls by the date the games were played.
Also host country Argentina defeated The Netherlands 3-2 to win the FIFA World Cup.
I remember it well. Thank you for this!!!
I remember the mega snpw storm of 1978 - MN had tons of snow that year!!!!!!
...ALSO IN 1978: On the Pop R & B musical front, after many years of unsuccessfully trying to establish himself as an artist/musician/producer, a guy from Buffalo, NY named James Ambrose Johnson pka RICK JAMES, signs to Motown Records. Meanwhile, His future rival, a 5'2 musical prodigy from Minneapolis, MN named Prince Rogers Nelson pka PRINCE, signs to Warner Bros. Records. They both release their Debut albums in April of that year and both go on to be legendary icons.
Also in the summer of 1978, Walt Disney released "The Cat from Outer Space" with Ken Berry & Sandy Duncan.
I vaguely remember that Disney movie. Was the cat a "flerken"? 😂
Ken Berry was one of my favorite Disney regulars.
I was born 6 years after the blizzard of 78 and have heard my dad talk about it every year during the winter.
I live in Ohio and remember this well ‼️ thanks for another great story.
I was born in 1978. If you watch the first 5 episodes of Dallas, they were filmed around the time of the blizzard of 78. It's the only time they showed winter during the entire series. Everything is frozen and brown in the opening credits.
There is also pretty thick SNOW in a lot of the first couple of Dallas episodes. I recall those snowstorms because I live in central Louisiana, about 350 miles from Dallas as the crow flies and in 76, 77, 78 and 79 for sure each year around New Years or January we'd get plastered. Ice storm then snow.The power would go out and we had nothing to do for 3-4 days. That was when I swore when I had my own home if there was any way I could afford it I'd have a GENERATOR for outages at my place. Home generators didn't really surface down here until the late 90's but I was one of the first in line.
I was born as well in 78 🎊
In October 6th I lost my mother if breast cancer she was 60 years old and I was only 15 years old at the time.
I was ten and I remember so many of these events, especially the snowstorm ❄️🌨️ we were out of school for roughly two weeks. I remember the National Guard being there to assist us when my sister fell down the steps and needed stitches. We lived on a road with the huge hill being made of brick. It was wild.
1978. Oh, boy! I thanked the Lord almost daily that I was living in California and not back home in Ohio. The Ohio River froze up and everything was in short to no supply. My parents house was still heated with fuel oil and they said they got down to the dregs. Used to heat the oven for some heat. No bread or milk at the grocery store. Thank you, God for my blessings even though I was in a lousy marriage. Live and learn.
My old lady was bleeding in New Freedom Maxi Pads in 1978. I rode out the blizzard in Cincinnati.
I was 4 and saw 3 great concerts that yr. Yes.Kiss and Parliament Funkadelic.I lived in Michigan also remember being Snowed in.
A great series. But you must put a little more effort into pronunciation.

@@badgumby9544 is it really? Its pretty good but it makes me want to unsubscribe.
Probably my favorite year of my life. When it started I was 15 years old when it started and 16 when it ended. What great memories and the best time Of my life. I miss those days.
It was also my best year. Actually, '78/'79 - At 17, I rented a room, was a senior in high school, and worked after school at Dart Drug in Bryans Road, MD. It was an incredible time. I still dream about high school friends to this day. So sad I can't go back. I don't recognize America today.
I graduated in 79 and hung out at the Atlantis nightclub on Bryans Road, MD. Great memories!
I was 12 years old in 78. Coming into puberty, hormones. Suddenly Olivia Newton John, Victoria Principle and the little blonde from Dallas were very appealing to me, and I wasn't quite sure why.?
I also remember living in the North East and it seemed like we lived in the North Pole.
The little blonde from Dallas was Charlene Tipton.
@@nancydemoss7904 Yessss
That’s when we moved to the US and about a week before Halloween, my uncle bought me a Batman costume and took me trick or treating… I had no idea why people were laughing but I did get some candies.
My sisters and I had to wear homemade costumes….angels (sheets, wire hangers and Christmas garland), ghosts (sheets with cut outs for eyes), bumbs/hobos (usually my father’s work clothes and cigarette ash on our faces) or Gypsies….. good times 😂
The blizzard of '78 was during an extended Christmas break for everyone in my district due to a teacher's strike. They settled on January 31st and we went back to classes the nest day. I was a Junior in high school.
I remember that year & all of these things well…. That winter was brutal but i was happy that we did not have to go to school on “snow days”.
It was a fun time to be a teenager.
I was 13 in 1978, there were a group of us kids that must have seen Grease 20 times, sometimes twice in the same evening, of course Superman was just awesome at the time. I miss those days and going to the movies was such a big deal back then.
I was 12 bro!!! Good times (just didn't know it at the time)
@@jimmygrant424 You are so right, sometimes wish we could go back to those simpler days.
I graduated high school and immediately got a job at the Charleston Naval Shipyard as a motel lodge maintenance man. I worked there for 5 years old then moved back to my birth place Miami Florida. My mother had a crush on Max Robertson. ⚓
I remember the blizzards of 1978 well. I was in 6th grade in NY and we missed so much school. I don't remember how we made up the days. My brother and I and our friends had lots of fun with snowball fights, building snow forts, sledding...
Couldn't travel by car so the only way to get anywhere was by sled. The drifts were huge! It was a crazy time 🤪!
Sadly, my best friend and her family moved to Florida shortly after those two storms. Her Dad, a college professor, got a job teaching at the University of Florida. I think they moved early because of the two storms.
In the summer of 1978, the science-fiction comedy series "Quark" made its debut on NBC-TV.
I was 13 in 1978 and it was a great year with the best music, tv shows, clothing and fun!
In October of 1978, Kiss's first made-for-tv movie "Kiss Meets the Phantom" aired on NBC-TV. It starred Kiss with Anthony Zerbe, Deborah Ryan and Terry Lester.
I remember that very well. I had just started high school and was a huge KISS fan. I would listen to "KISS Alive II" over and over again. I was so looking forward to the KISS movie. When it finally came out I was so disappointed. To this day it has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. I was really pissed off. I kept listening to them and in 1979 finally saw them live. After the concert, I was able to finally forgive them for the movie.
I was 13 yrs old in CT, remember that nor'easter to this day. 31" and no school all week 😁
I was hired by Pg&e in August of '78 at the age of 20. My starting wage was $4.50 an hour as a "Warehouse Materialsman". My 2 bedroom apartment in Santa Rosa California was $215 a month. I thought I had it made!
I saw the Halloween movie right when it came out. It scared the hell out of me!!!!!
As a young lad back in '78, the moment I saw Olivia Newton-John in Grease wearing those skin-tight pants was the day I became a man...😎
@Patrick Brannon Oh how vulgar.
🤣🤣🤣she was drop dead gorgeous!
@Patrick Brannon Okay...🧐
@@michaelwhite2823 What are you, gay? I was a radio DJ then and was familiar with her music but she also had this Aussie girl next door image then. He's right, seeing her decked out like that at the end was a shot where you live if you like GIRLS!
@@luisreyes1963 Man, don't let him bother you. I promise you every red blooded guy here felt the same way. No wonder when they sold that outfit a couple years ago it brought over $100,000.
In September of 1978, "The Dolly Parton Show" made its debut in syndication. But unfortunately for one thing, it lasted for only a year. Later that very same month & year, "Britt Eklund's Jukebox" also made its debut in syndication. A year later, it was retitled as "Twiggy's Jukebox."
Just for the record, so you don’t get sued: it was actually Flavor-Aid that was used in Jonestown, not Kool-Aid.
Who knew!!?? I remember Flavor Aid!!
I get paid to smoke weed on my UA-cam channel 👌💨
@@SevenHunnid Do you snort "Flavor Aid" on your UA-cam Channel too?
Agree! I understand that the Jonestown folk had to buy the off brand for budget reasons. I'm not sure if that is true but it sounds plausible to me.
I turned 9 years old in the Winter of this year. Grease was the first movie I saw in a theater. My mother kept covering my eyes throughout the entire movie. My sisters and I sang this soundtrack for years ♥️
I sure remember! Thank you so much.
I really appreciate these so much.

In April of 1978, ABC-TV had celebrated its silver jubilee by airing a TV special of the very same title. CBS also aired a weeklong TV special which was entitled "CBS on the Air." It was hosted by Walter Cronkite, Mary Tyler Moore and others too numerous to mention.
in June 1978 I drove out to B.C. from Toronto and ended up in L.A. and climbed the Hollywood sign just months before Alice Cooper and other celebrities each had a letter restored to how it looks today.
May 23rd 1978 the day my family arrived in Denver Colorado to become immigrants from the UK.

I was 18 this year, my son was born on 12/31/77 the snow was so high that year was so high that the ambulance driver had to get to get to me the best way they could..and almost all of ambulances were being used!
I remember the blizzard of 78. I was working at a Citgo gas station in Avon lake Ohio right on the south shore of Lake Erie. This storm created wind chills of 60 below zero and most schools and businesses shut down for about a week. This storm was dubbed the White hurricane.
Only time I heard Menachim Begin pronouncece "Menna-chim"
I was born in September of this year. Pretty cool to see some of the things that went on that year.
So was one of my sons .
Nothing much happened except the weather. It was even bad in Southern California, if you can believe it: the "El Nino Effect" hit us hard and it rained for virtually 40 days in Orange County/San Diego. I remember the mudslides.
Congrats on 100K subs, on to 250k!!
