Do you remember where you were when Nixon resigned? I was at a youth summer camp in my tent when our leader from Australia came around and announced, “If you care, your president has just resigned”. I was a tween, I knew all about Tricky Dicky, but wasn’t too concerned.

One of my tent mates there had this weird ability. They did not need an alarm clock to wake themselves up. They just thought of the time at night they wanted to get up and the next morning would awake at that time when they saw red eyes in their sleep. It worked for them all week, so I didn’t doubt it, cool but strange.
