The series ‘House’ had an episode about this condition. Never knew it existed, then again, I can’t remember anything.

Sounds more like a curse. And, some things I certainly do not want to remember.

"...that load I dropped on December 14, 1972..."


What was so especially notable about it?
That might jog your memory to recall other details.
Were you an interstate trucker at the time? Which shipping dock received the cargo?

I'm not sure that qualifies as a photographic memory. Oh wait ...

My wife sometimes comes close.
