outside of you (of course ---- you are so great.) no one has total recall or perfect memory. my alleged perfect memory can be better described as fuzzy-perfect memory. exact statements and memory depictions are (probably) not certain ( my wife is an exception to all memory speculations - she is perfect).
clearly recalling perhaps an event that occurred 60 years ago contains (maybe) two visions: scene A, and scene G. - tableaus - the intervening steps (b, c, d, e, and f) can easily be filled in with the forgotten narrative by me because i know myself (of course -- heh,heh). but it is without a doubt that everyone else is all messsed up and it makes no sense even listening to their story. pipe dreams and old wives tales (or engineer's tales) ultimately are nonsense. on the upside it can be entertaining.
i can't exactly recall yesterday but events that happenned during high school or college days are as clear and real as a desert oasis when you are dying of thirst in death valley.
