Craziness
On Easter Sunday, my dad and I had dinner with my aunt, uncle, and their two daughters. My uncle is from Chile, so I decided to ask him how old he was when Pinochet took power. He said he was 13. Then told me he entered the army at 17 and eventually ended up in the secret service and became a guard at Pinochet's house for about a year! Whoa. He showed me some pics of him doing special forces training and shaking Pinochet's hand. Crazy.
This morning, I was watching Sportscenter. They did a piece on Jackie Robinson. Who do I see getting interviewed about him? None other than my history of baseball professor, who has written a couple books about Robinson. Weird seeing my teacher on Sportscenter.
Driving home from SF today, a guy in front of me absolutely nailed a dog on the road. The dog's bouncing carcass came careening at me, and I had to swerve to miss it. No more than a minute later, I drove past a house horribly on fire. I'm talking something out of Backdraft or Ladder 49 or something. Flames flying out of every window. I've seen fires while driving, but nothing like that.
Now I'm in Fresno for the rest of Spring Break. Oh, relaxation.
