A couple of weeks ago, I posted breaching of the Conuit Dam in Washington.

Today, I came across a National Geographic 2 min video of the event here
This video shows the breaching, the draining lake, and the final effect.

(Unfortunately, there is a 15 sec ad in front of the video)

Is it interesting or disappointing ?

Today is Dec 7th, and I have not seen any posts about the anniversary.

Throughout my life I have followed in the footsteps of WW II vets.
Some call them "The Greatest Generation". All I know is that many
things we value here in the US came from the works of that generation.

In any case, Good on Them !

Well that's weird. On the actual December 7th there are articles and remembrances all over the web!

What do you say? Happy Pearl Harbor Day? I do think about it every Dec 7th, though.

You know, this day really just kind of snuck up on us. We had no idea it was coming.

Too soon?

Yes, others have been kind enough to point out the error of my ways

No, she's not mocking you LL. She's saying is it too soon to make a joke about Pearl Harbor and the date "just sneaking up on us". Not you.

No, it took me all day to come up with the joke. V is right, it was a joke about the sneaking up on us.

I have junior senior moments, Lamp, I'm right behind you in that aspect.
