THAT WOULD USUALLY BE A CONVERSATION WITH MY WIFE THEN! I CAN REMEMBER THE MINISCULE & ACUTE DETAILS WITH ALMOST UNCANNY DETAIL: WEATHER, ATTIRE, SURROUNDINGS AND VERBAL DISCUSSIONS... JUST NOT THE NAMES... AND MY FACIAL RECOGNITION SKILLS ARE MISERABLE; A CONDITION KNOWN AS prosopagnosia. MY DENTAL HYGENIST, GARDENER, OR MY NEIGHBORS WHO I'VE LIVED NEXT TO FOR THIRTY YEARS RUN INTO ME AT THE MARKET OR ELSEWHERE AND IT TAKES A MINUTE TO REALIZE WHOM I'M SPEAKING TO...THAT'S EMBARRASSING!FORTUNATLY A TODAY SHOW EPISODE FEATURED THE MATTER NATIONWIDE SO THE AWARENESS LEVEL IS ELEVATED. IT ACTUALLY CUT INTO A POLICE CAREER; AS SAY AFTER AN ARREST, IF A TRIAL WERE TO BE HELD AND I'M ASKED IF THE ARRESTEE IS IN THE COURTROOM, SAY A YEAR LATER, I WOULD BE USELESS AS A CREDIBLE WITNESS... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/06/180625192851.htm
