It was 1988. I was checking out with my groceries at the Stop & Shop on Harvard Avenue in Brookline, MA. I grabbed my bags and started heading for the door when out of the corner of my eye I saw that some dude was about to crash into me. He clearly wasn't looking where he was going, so I blurted out "Hey! Watch it!"
It was Michael Dukakis. He had a bag with one pint of Ben & Jerry's. He had lost the election about two days previous. I felt bad because I had voted for him and here I was being kinda rude.
