Trying To Find Connections

K. asked: "Did you hear about the Big Meteorite?"

"In Peru?", I responded.

K. said "No, in Zimbabwe! But that's right, there were two. And OJ Simpson is in the news too!"

"Just like 1995!" I said.

K. said, "I wasn't too aware of the news in 1995 - I was still in school. What were the similiarities between then and now?"

"Well, in 1995, housing prices were near a bottom. Today, they are near a peak. Congress had just turned Republican; today, it's just turned Democratic. OJ Simpson was in the news then; today, he's still in the news. But I don't remember any meteorites in 1995."

K. is still working on it....
