Harlem Globetrotters

A Very Famous group of absolutely fantastic basketball players who did amazing tricks with a basketball! They toured & crowds loved them! I think they're still in existence today.

My Dad took us to see the Harlem Globetrotters & when they introduced them 1 by 1, each guy took like a 3' step forward! They sure put on a Great Show!

Y2K

Supposedly at Midnight on January 1, 2000, all electronic devices would cease to work. Lots & Lots of people stocked up on food & household items. Y2K didn't happen tho!

I prepared for Y2K & had enuf food for a family of 4 for a year or enuf for 1 person for 4 years. I had all the food groups & lots of water too. I went up into the wilderness & came back to find out Y2K didn't even happen! Supposedly ATM machines & grocery stores' cash registers wouldn't work. The 1st thing I bought was a gallon of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup!

go to sleep plant

A mimosa, so named because if you touch its leaves they fold up like it's sleeping & a few minutes later they open again.

My Granddad had a go to sleep plant, as we called it & we as kids loved to make it "go to sleep". It's fascinating!

the crookedest street in the World

Lombard St. in San Francisco, California, USA. It's a 1~way downhill steep street with many switchbacks, is lined by several homes, the speed limit is 5 MPH & it goes from Van Ness to Leavenworth. The views are outstanding!

You won't believe this but I accidentally drove down the crookedest street in the World & didn't find out it was that street until a month later! I swore I'd never drive it again but a week later I did. The views are phenomenal.
