I thought it was the Oakland Bridge my whole life. The bridge by my house on the east coast eventually leads directly to it, over a few thousand miles on I-80, but I knew the name wrong all these years!

Once I saw the trillion dollar companies based near Seattle, I kept thinking to myself that Starbucks and Amazon would make the most sense. I didn't realize Starbucks wasn't even remotely close to a trillion dollars in net worth and I completely forgot Microsoft was based there.

Im sad that I was unable to recall Ronald Goldman’s name. Especially since I watched that whole thing unfold from freeway chase to courtroom and I could clearly see his dad’s face in my mind. RIP.

Thank you, Art Roberts, from WLS in Chicago for giving me the airports. In my rural area of MO in the ‘60s, after 10pm local radio stations signed off and my radio could then pull in WLS. Art would give a quick weather report from O’Hare and Midway before starting the top three songs countdown.

Too many midlife brain farts for my comfort. I couldn't remember West Side Story--just the lyrics to "Stay Cool"--or even Amazon! I almost missed Salt Lake City even though I lived there during the Olympics! Sigh
