Where Were You When?

Today, with the apprehension of Saddam Hussein, was another landmark day. There are some events like these for whatever reason that I will always remember where I was. I have a notoriously poor memory, but these events stay with me always.

Capture of Saddam - Mom's House, Sedona, AZ
Death of Princess Di - Rose & Crown Pub, Atlanta, GA
OJ Verdict - My House, Santa Cruz, CA
OJ in Trouble - Superman Restaurant, Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia
Start of the Gulf War I - Catullus & Horace Class, Cowell College Commons Room, UC Santa Cruz
Start of the Gulf War II - Peace Corps Office, Apia, Samoa
Death of King Hussein - On a Kibbutz in Arava, Israel
WTC Attack - My Apartment, Burlingame, CA
Kirk Gibson Home Run - Cowell College, UC Santa Cruz
Loma Prieta Earthquake (SF Quake '89) - On the beach, Capitola, CA
Challenger Disaster - My House, Los Angeles, CA

There are probably a few others, but these are the ones that come to mind as I write this. Can you remember where you were?
