7-27-77: A Day To Remember

It was a day back when nobody had a cell phone.

It was a day back when nobody had a PC and computers with relatively low capability that took up a whole room, & put out massive amount of waste heat, used mag tape and punch cards.

It was a day back when the world was supposed to run out of petroleum within the next decade.

It was a day back when there were still two Germanys.

It was a day back when VW (old) Beetles were running around all over the place.

It was a day back when cassette tape was the latest & greatest technology for music.

It was a day back when Jimmy Carter was in the Oval Office.

It was a day back when nobody had a GPS, and satellite dishes were huge and few people had them.

It was a day back when there was still a Soviet Union and the Cold War and the threat of nuclear war was very much still ongoing.

It was the day I met my wife.

It was the day my life has never been the same.
