Instead of running mundane motherhood errands, I was mentally back in San Francisco in 1994 sitting in my 1972 VW Karmann Ghia at the corner of Church and 18th making a left turn. I don't remember where I was going really, but I remember the location and the song still transports me. For some reason that song really knocked me back and I pulled over in a bus zone to listen (something I don't really recommend doing in San Francisco because Muni buses don't really look out for parked cars, or anything else for that matter!)
Once the song ended and I was back in my 2004 Passat wagon with windows covered in stickers, I thought, "This would be a great writing prompt!"so here we go.
Do you have a personal time travel portal? What song, smell, or object can take you back to another time?

Oh Loser is a big one for me, too. How interesting! It was Spring of 1994, my junior year of HS, and I was in my friend's Pathfinder.
Sybil, I know you don't do it intentionally, but man sometimes you make me feel OLD. High school....sigh.
I love this prompt! When I am not stuck in a powerless airport I will write my own!
