67 Years Ago Today Pearl Harbor Was Bombed

Today as everyone probably knows is the 67th anniversary of the day that lives in infamy, the day that Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese, which officially put the United States into World War II.

FDR’s speech was something that all school children should remember, although I was not born at that time on, December 7.1941 that was a Sunday too, that speech was recorded on tape and film for all of us to see and hear over and over again into eternity and to never ever forget.

Today was our big first of many, I hope, harvest of our crops, two tomatoes were ready one was a heat wave and the other one was one of the Roma’s, several peas in their pods were chosen too, a few scrawny carrots but they tasted very sweet and the rest comprised of the Mesclun greens, which are a combination of many different types and flavors.
I used those greens and tomatoes in our salad at dinner tonight.
Just thinking of all those vitamins we must have consumed makes me think health is on its way!
The average veggie takes five to six weeks to reach the grocers’ shelves and we just got rid of the middle man/woman.

Our president elect Barack Obama was on Meet the Press this morning, and he was well interviewed by Tom Brokaw.
I used that term well interviewed because at times Brokaw appeared to be playing the devil's advocate with his line of questioning, but again our president elect reminded me why I was glad I took part in him being chosen for this very difficult job.
He answered with concise specific thoughtful words that were easy to understand how things will be going under his administration.
Every time Tom Brokaw tried to make him not remember his promises to us middle class Americans he always mentioned us and our plight, you gotta love the guy!

Formally Tom Brokaw introduced his predecessor or actually I should say the late Tim Russet’s and he is Washington D.C. Bureau Chief David Gregory.
For people who don’t recall the name he’s the six foot five, prematurely gray haired thirty-eight years old that helps out occasionally by filling in on the Today Show when Matt or Les aren’t there.

That’s about it for tonight but I must admit it was a very quiet day compared to my type of excitement yesterday.
Balance, that’s what I truly love at this age.

Good night to all and to all the above last mentioned concept is free too.

Which way will the war go?
