Mein Fuhrer! THEY WON!

I was 11 years old when this happened, on summer vacation with my family in Florida at my grandparents' house.

I don't think I went to sleep until 3 or 4 AM when it happened because I couldn't peel myself away from the TV. None of us could. It was surreal; like a weird dream of some kind. I was switching between CNN and network news listening to all the talking heads and ex cops and lawyers giving their take on what could happen.

I was 23, living at home in a small Iowa town and working as a lifeguard at a city pool. I came home from work, turned on the TV, and the chase was on every broadcast and news channel. I watched it until they arrested him. Watching the NBA Finals game that night was a bizarre experience.

The next day my folks and I drove to Des Moines. We did a little shopping and saw Speed. That was surreal as hell after what we saw not 24 hours earlier. When the news helicopters were shown on screen I busted out laughing.

OJ if I remember right. Which...yeah.

It was O.J., while being driven away by the cops after finally surrendering.
