Where Were You When........

[mayhem1978]

To all who care (and those that dont)

Today I saw history in the making. I witnessed the election of the new head of the Catholic church..

At 18:00GMT (approx.) white smoke appeared and the bell rang. National TV switched to the view in Rome and we waited patiently for the arrival of the new pope.

His name.......

Joseph Ratzinger now known as Pope Benedict XVI

The first election that i have seen. It was a moving moment I may not be a catholic but i enjoyed the moment.

So where were you when the new pope was elected???

Thanks Babe for letting us know (or at least me, and ya know me...i never watch the news)

I had just walked into the house; sat down at my computer and turned the TV on. The first think I heard was something like, "I think that's white smoke!" Couldn't believe I got in right at that moment. :)

In the car, listening to "All Things Considered" on NPR. Driving to California. :) I believe I was somewhere in Nebraska when I heard.
