The earliest dream that I can still recall came 36 years ago this morning -- I was falling off the Empire State Building, and when I landed it really hurt my back. I woke up on the floor, totally disoriented and scared in the dark.

Turned out there’d been an earthquake near Sylmar. The Mayor Sam blog has lots of great links to an event that caused me to fear freeway overpasses -- especially the ones on the way to Magic Mountain, where Ponch and Jon were always riding around -- well into my teens.
