What major historical events do you remember?

Lots and lots and lots and how forward of you to ask!! However, the one I’d like to revisit is Y2K. Y’all, I went so far down the rabbit hole on that one that I’m both gratified and horrified by the memory. I bought books on the subject and implored my computer programmer husband to read them and then got a ridiculous amount of angry when he assured me he had an adequate grasp of the subject. I begged him to withdraw all of our money from the bank, to buy a gun and move our little family to the mountains. The fact that I had no clue which mountains seemed irrelevant. However, thanks to my husband and his gentle patience we did none of those things. Instead, we celebrated New Year’s at home and took a picture of our daughter as the new millennium rang in. The next morning as we made pancakes and poured syrup from one of the three gallon jugs I had bought I ruminated about how glad I was that we hadn’t gone over board like some people. My husband, to his credit, did not laugh at me. At least not out loud. I will add that the sky is falling folks never got me again. I learned my lesson. I made it through numerous hurricanes, the pandemic and the last few elections and have not had a single crazed thought. This is not to say I don’t still make sure I’m always prepped and ready. Turns out the third jug of syrup tasted as good as the first.
