Yup, back when I was a senior in high school and when CNN actually had objective journalism!

I was doing inventory at work, co-worker came out and told us we were at war.

Heh, and here I thought Sizzler was just a chain of mediocre restaurants in the Miami area. I used to go there all the time as a kid when I had no discerning appetite.

Absolutely crazy to think it was that long ago. I still have (and wear in the winter) my Desert Parka. Sometimes I think it was a different person that did all those things, but no, it really was me.

Dart you look so happy in that picture I am surprised that the Army didn't want to use it in recruiting posters! 😄
