It also marks the 23rd Anniversary of the burning of the Branch Davidian compound. The American Revolution begins as fighting breaks out at Lexington, Massachusetts. NASA names Sally Ride to be the first woman astronaut. Russia launches its first Salyut space station. A busy date in history all around.

Here, but occasionally There.

While not near as important (except to maybe my wife), that date in 2003 was when I quit smoking.

Did they ever find the name of the person that lost a leg? There were 168 people killed and 1 leg.

A new mystery surfaced in the Oklahoma
City bombing today, just days before formal
charges were to be lodged, when the State
Medical Examiner disclosed that a severed
leg and foot clad in a combat boot had been
found deep in the rubble.


As of 2015 it was still a mystery.

For those who relish the conspiratorial element of the bombing, there is "The Third Terrorist", by Jayna Davis. Pretty good book and certainly seeds for thought.
When I read this post I remeber driving north on 75 between Okmulgee and Gleenpool and hearing on the radio that day they were looking for a Middle Eastern man in a brown Chevy truck. Her story is very interesting. She lost her career over it.
