Where were you July 23rd 2012?

The earth dodged a bullet that day, and it took almost two years for most of us to find out

Interesting! Thanks for sharing :2thumbsup: But no idea where I was.

 

I was two weeks out of being in jail....and just...at home and very very happy. Now I feel I was even more luckier in that particular month.

 

apparently that was a monday, and i was still at the parks and rec job at that point, so i would have been at work. i have no idea what i would have been doing though. baseball was over by then, so i was probably either working on flag football for the fall, or working on some sort of park maintenance project.

after work, i was probably either hanging out at my apartment pool, or posting on hipforums.

 

I remember that day like it was yesterday... a warm mid summers day. I was enjoying my day off work in the back yard. I specifically remember drinking 9 bud lights and then wanking on the grass

 

do you mean you came on your lawn, or you smoked weed and jacked off while under the influence?

 

i was only under the influence of alcohol.

 

Interesting.

I was at work until early afternoon when I went to my in-laws home for a party.

 

Right.....

 

I'd have to check my calendar but im pretty sure that day was pretty well spent the same as most of my days are



yep..i was right...just like most days i never write shit on my calender

 

I was missing in action while hanging out on S0's channel

i probably went to work that day

but the previous day i spent time with my brother, mom, grandma and some other family. so if the world went into a frenzy...at least i had done that.

on thursday of that week i went to see the dirty heads play in buffalo, and on the weekend i went camping with my brother. had the solar flares hit us, that would have fucked up at least the concert...

 

Why does all the fun shit miss our orbit?

I don't know. I was about half way through probation, and probably worked in the evening. Probably did some wrenching earlier in the day. I might have HF posts from that date painting a clearer picture.

 

It doesn't all miss. We had a radiation event in May of 2013.

 

My cousin had driven from NC to visit. We hadn't seen each other in 30+ years and were greatly enjoying ourselves.

Then, about 1 1/2 weeks later I broke 2 bones in my ankle, requiring surgery...that's why that period of time is so easy for me to remember.

 

sitting in front of a computer no doubt. and equally no doubt, that any real risk was highly exaggerated.
