While digging through shelves and cardboard boxes in my garage, looking for a missing chisel, I discovered a bunch of specimens from my original childhood rock collection. Upon spotting one of my favorite rocks from back in the day, I set aside the box.
After locating the missing
chisel, I unpacked the box I had set aside.
Good stuff!
I had forgotten about several particularly
striking specimens.
Here is the weird part: the
date.
Yesterday was November 28,
2021. When I got to the bottom of the
box, I found a newspaper I had used to line the bottom of the box on the day I packed
the rocks up for long-term storage. The
newspaper was dated November 28, 1981. That
is 40 years ago to the day.
But that is not the end of the strange. Exactly 30 years ago, on November 28, 1991, Thanksgiving Day, Uyen and Helen and I spent our first full day and night in this house after building it.
