I was in Berlin when the Wall fell and I lived in Russia for a time shortly thereafter. The complete shitshow that was the CCCP is amazing.
The threat was low... except for some accidental f-,up
In the early/mid eighties we played war games with the Russians, they'd fly their "Bear" overhead or near the Carrier, we'd watch their trawlers sort through our trash. Remember once one of their small boys was running alongside of us, I was watching our R2D2 turret scan their ship, 50mm rounds I think and a lot of them fast.

That sorta thing didn't really improve with my move to the beach 
The Minuteman silos are only 15 miles away at Vandenberg

So just thinking about it:
Last generation to do duck and covers
Last generation to have no game system
Last generation to not have AC in every class room in school
Last generation to have to use a card catalog
Last generation to have to hand write school reports
Last generation to have no remotes on their TVs
My generation is last in everything haha

I can only state that the barometer of "better" is maintained by those that have experienced what "bad" is. The sheep will never understand.

Odd thing about Vandenberg SFB AMTRAK and UP Railway go right through the base from one end to the other. I seen things from the train I never seen while working out there.
Heard/read about the Phalanx but hadn't seen in action. A more automated minigun.

Well this didn't go as planned. Damn, and I was hungry!
Oh that sucks!!
I had a joke written but figured it’d be bad taste to kick you when your pizza is facedown.
I was walking distance from school, had to walk home for lunch.rain or snow. Right up to grade 9. Never really had money,so occasionally i would get money to have lunch at the mall. Both mom and dad worked for the city, but there was a few of us kids. And dad was a heavy drinker. I decided to not raise my kids that way.

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
John Adams
Does our desire to better our children result in our weakening their abilities?
have a goodnight everyone
Go to Fred's.
Yes and bring your own hart burn meds.
This proscribes a terminal self-proscribed reality
Think there is a 3 second rule on picking things up off the floor and still being able to eat them with no side affects. but new studies show that with inflation on the rise you can still eat that if you get it it off the floor in 10 seconds and drink plenty of beer with it and still be safe.
