Farewell to a Bit of History.

I'm watching TV. The time is nearing for the implosion of the Baptist Hospital in Memphis that was built in 1956. This is the hospital where I had back surgery in May of 1981. It is also the hosital where Elvis was taken on the night that he died. The hosital closed five years ago and is being demolished to make way for a new biotech research center. There is a large number of people who have gone to witness the implosion. Eight hundred pounds of explosives have just gone off and the twenty-one storey hospital is no more. In its place at the moment is a cloud of dust.
