Deja Vu, All Over Again.
Isn't deja vu the weirdest thing ever? I mean, what IS it?
I was just reading wikipedia's entry about triple rifts (in geography), specifically the one in the U.S. named the Midcontinent Rift System or the Keweenawan Rift which, I assure you, I have never read about before -- not in this life, anyway -- and I could remember everything. I remembered the picture of the cliffs, the smell of the candles burning (lavender) on my nightstand, and the song that was playing on my stereo.
I know there are a lot of theories on what deja vu actually is, but what do you think? I think your brain synapses get a little confused or something. Or maybe you can view your entire life before you're born like it's a movie, and you remember little glimpses of it when you're living it. But why, oh why, would I remember reading about the triple rift?
Unless -- the triple rift opens in our lifetime and swallows us whole. Yikes.

I think you've just forgotten reading about in seventh grade social studies. We're not getting any younger you know ;) Is that rift related to the faultline that caused the catastrophic New Madrid earthquake in 1811 (or something like that)?
Yep. That's the one. Wow, I'm impressed that you knew that.
