The Day The Compound Burned

I remember the month was April, it seems like everything crazy that happens in America happens in April, and I was sitting in the break room watching TV.

How could I forget that day?

was watching David Koresh’s compound down in Waco TX burn to the ground. Yeah, you remember where you were on that day too, don’t you?
