    The Taco Bell Corporation took out a full-page ad that appeared in six major newspapers announcing it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell.

    April 1, 1992: National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation revealed that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again."

    I also love the music from that time period.  Something about the doo wop, swing, and rockabilly stuff just always gets my feet to tapping, makes me want to jump up & dance, and generally just puts me in a good mood. 

    The Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley TV shows were a big influence on loving the 50's for younger generations.  I will always remember Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the Fonz......ayyyyyyyyye thumbs up.   And, who can forget Sha Na Na

    I don't think this is about memory. I think it's about glassy-eyed nostalgia.

    Actually researchers think childhood memories (things we remember as adults) can begin as early as age 3.  So Blush definitely can remember Disneyland and Chubby since those events happened way later than when she was 3.  What has been fun for me is to meet all the people in SL of all ages but especially those in their 50's and 60's (Have not met anyone 70 or older yet).  The life experiences that they share in world is incredibly fun to hear and I am constantly amazed at their creativity and passion for making SL a beautiful place.

    P.S.  I was born in 1962 and one of my first vivid memories that was a huge deal was watching the first moon landing in 1969.  The whole neighborhood TV sets were on watching the coverage and I remember us kids running around the yards looking up at the moon and marveling at the fact that their were people on the moon!

    Just a reminder to all you astronomy buffs out there the third and final Super moon will be showing Wednesday evening March 20th

    What is a supermoon?

    Although not an astronomical term, a supermoon refers to when our satellite is at perigee, which is the closest it gets to Earth on its elliptical monthly orbit. Technically speaking, a supermoon can, and does, occur at any time of the month. Since the moon’s orbit is elliptical, there is always a point in its monthly cycle when it is closest to Earth. There's also a point when it's furthest away, called apogee, though the idea of a "micromoon" excites no-one. Culturally speaking, a supermoon is always when perigee coincides with a full moon (after all, a supermoon at New Moon is invisible). The difference between perigee and apogee is about 25,000 miles, which is about 10% of the average distance between the Earth and the Moon.

    Consequently, a supermoon looks slightly bigger than a "normal" moon, but only by a few percents. You will only notice it if you watch the Super Worm Equinox Moon at moonrise in the east on March 20. Perigee actually occurs at 19:47 UTC on March 19.
