Dropping the Big One on Hiroshima and progress
Today is the 67th anniversary of dropping the big one on Hiroshima. Whatever your view on that incident, this did pull the plug on WWII, which we must not forget when viewing all these sad and sorry stories in today’s news reports regarding this achievement. Perspectives, people, are needed when we come upon these occasions where the ‘greater good’ is neglected, in the press’s presentation of such happenings. “Cause and Effect” can be a complex issue; but for those of us who have visited Pearl Harbor’s still existing memorial (where lay the battleship Arizona sunk there containing it’s crew in a watery grave,) we do not waste the day in regret or remorse. In fact it has been my policy, as a ‘military brat’, to celebrate such occasions by doing something useful and symbolic. I clean out all the cat boxes (whether they need it or not) on national holidays and private celebrations such as today. Every one has his or her perspective, and opinion on this: but in truth: ‘you are what you do’, even the cats of the household here. Let us not forget our own brave military service men who fought, and who many died in the Pacific campaign, as well as in Europe in the 1940’s. But for their efforts and sacrifice, we could be all working in a Toyota factory, or worse, instead of sitting around reading these dumb-shit blogs.
Speaking of Bombs, both Kay Buena and her technical advisor and programmer (and husband), Charles Sauer, did try once again to record on our new digital equipment, with no success. ‘Could be a commie Plot. but the whole weekend was, indeed a most frustrating experience. Hopefully today, as I work on the snoop Dogg portrait, I will have better luck.
Good luck to all on this day of contemplative enigmas. Keep busy and hopefully they will pass.
