Possibly it wasn't as bad of a tropical storm as you remember it to be?<br /><br />Remember my husband claiming to have not gone to his college graduation when I have the photos to prove that he was there?

With those vivid memories I think something did happen in 1955 or 1956.

The internet is not always right. Our memories, aged as they may be, are often more accurate.<br /><br />For example, I remember vividly going upstairs to the bathroom only to discover that we live in a bungalow. I checked the internet. It confirmed I live in a bungalow. How then did I get upstairs to a non-existent bathroom?<br /><br />On another occasion I remember taking the cat for a walk and falling off someone's roof. I checked with the family. We have no cat. Where did I fall off then?<br /><br />I also remember distinctly, only this morning, waking up and having a shower. How then did I find my self in the car-wash down the road? Mrs Forsythe, our spinster friend, was scandalised at the sight. Has she never seen a car-wash before?<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br /><br />What's my name?<br /><br /><br />God bless you, Joe.
