Heading to vacation, I’m reminded of years past when major news events took place while I was away. It’s a frustrating thing to encounter when stories you would love to talk about and hear what listeners think of them occur while you’re away from work.
In 1977, I was in San Francisco when the major Plaza flood hit Kansas City. Ditto the late 80s-early 90s when some of the countries of the old Soviet Empire broke away and history was forever changed. I was in Monterey-Carmel.
Just last year, I was lounging in Las Vegas the same week that rioters were protesting in Iran over the rigged elections, Governor Sanford of South Carolina was professing his unfaithfulness to his wife and, on the plane ride home, I learned of Michael Jackson’s death.
We’ll find out on Monday, June 14 when Scott and I return to the program if major news has again happened on my time off (how dare it?) and if history has repeated itself.
