This picture is making me dizzy.

I remember.

Nostalgic.

I was there?

Not THERE.  That's a movie set.  But the setting depicted, I was there. 

Tied in with that vague memory of an underground food court, paper cups with vertical orange stripes, brown linoleum, plastic trays.

Must be the guy I was, in Wyoming - because it's the same era.  What was I/he doing there?

Movie set is NYC.  Memory might be Philadelphia or Boston or some other Northeastern city.  I've never actually been to Phillie so I really, really don't know, but "Philadelphia" is what I think when I wonder where it was.  I have no idea what Phillie looks like now much less what it looked like then.

This feeling always freaks me out, it's like I've come unmoored from the calendar

LET'S TRY AND TRIGGER SOME FLASHBACKS

I've been feeling that temporal dissonance again today.  I wrote this longhand at work because the "memory" hit me at about 8:35 while I was listening to the Brian Jonestown Massacre:

A cafeteria - in a basement?  No windows; brick walls, I think; brown speckled linoleum in that dusty cocoa-powder colour; thick plastic trays, orange, think they're melamine; paper soda cups with slightly-wobbly vertical stripes printed on them, but I can't tell whether the stripes are green or orange or tan or multicoloured; hanging light fixtures with rectangular frosted-glass shades; it's not crowded, but it's not empty - just after closing time, perhaps?  Patrons still there, employees preparing to leave.  It's in a transitory place like an airport or a bus stop or a train station, I think.  I feel like it's in Boston or something, but what the hell was I doing in Boston?  This is before the truck thing, though.  Were colour schemes like that in fashion by 1973 or '74?
