Where Were You April 26 1986?
Watched the movie Chernobyl Diaries and it got me thinking and I found a You tube video a lot better than the new Warner Brothers movie. Inside Chernobyl (2012) Inside Chernobyl (2012) - YouTube

I went swimming in the Dnieper near Kiev, just downstream from Chernobyl, around 1991. I think we could still see German tank turrets sticking out of the water.

Where was I? I'm going to guess that I was laying in my crib, as I was 3 months old.

Second semester of P-chem. We dropped everything for about a week to discuss what was happening at Chernobyl. Although no one would ever want to create the disaster, it made for interesting study as the situation unfolded.

Lets see, I had just started dating my first wife. It was the same year as the Challenger, so I was looking for signs of locusts, frogs dropping from the sky among other things. All in all, lots of bad things.

Don't remember exactly. It was during my drunken, blacked-out years. I know I was in Russia, working on some sort of steam engine. I was asked to leave.
