I took the GREs in 1969 at Occidental College, along with many Caltech undergrads, Occidental being the nearest place to take it. At the starting signal, we all opened the exam booklets, and five or ten seconds later a wave of chuckles filled the room -- relief.

Oh yeah? When I went to Caltech, we had to walk five miles...in the snow...each way. And we liked it.

Ha! From my house on a dirt road, it is uphill, then downhill, to the paved county road, so it actually is uphill both ways.

When I thought about applying to Caltech in 1975, I couldn't even see the snow from the campus due to all the smog.

So I didn't apply.

Well, the smog and my SAT Math score.
