In a few hours, 69 years ago, on December 7, Japan did a very dumb thing which eventually brought utter destruction to Japan, occupation by America, democracy and baseball.
When Franklin Roosevelt made his war declaration address to Congress he opined that December 7 was a day that would live in infamy.
The infamy seems to have faded. Although there was mention made of Pearl Harbor veterans in the various online newspapers I looked at this morning.
Pearl Harbor day dawned barely above freezing in Texas this morning. It looks cold out there, looking out the window.
I'm ready to go to Hawaii for some tropical delights, like warm water and air. And mangoes. And a visit to Pearl Harbor.
