You know I can't skip over D-Day without mention. Years of preparation and planning to prepare while Hitler and Stalin slugged it out.
It pretty much put most of our eggs in one basket, and it worked but it was, as the image shows, expensive.
It was the Big One, WW II, the war to clean up the shit stirred by WW I, The War to End All Wars.
But the sad and disappointing part is we didn't learn a damn thing except how to kill people and destroy property, wholesale.
That's depressing so why don't we chill with a nice Aurora picture from
Aurora Chasers.
I had the whole post set up and ready to push the launch button, and the power went off. sigh.
