Pearl Harbor

It means just a bit more this year since I was down in Pearl and actually saw the Arizona for the first time. The boat's still leaking oil regularly. It's really quite a sobering experience.

Also, I celebrated today by purchasing a new gun and going to the range. If anyone invades Sitka Harbor, they'll be met ready.

Coastie :P

I had me boys watch a Discovery Channel piece called: Pearl Harbor: Death of the Arizona. I also reminded them that they had their own "Pearl Harbor"; 9/11 but the enemy isn't so clear now. I think it was a really good learning experience for them.

Interesting thing, the Discovery Channel show indicated the Japanese started the war over the oil reserves in indo-china. Black Gold some might say.

The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
