Watching American Heroes Channel WW2 in color documentary.  Mousolinni was such a douche. 

Curtis Lemay was born Nov 15th 1906. He kept it real from above.

"When he stood on the deck of the battleship Missouri to witness the signing of the peace treaty, LeMay saw to it that hundreds of his B-29s thundered overhead."

What a flex.  We don't have leaders like this any more.

LeMay was also George Wallace's running mate in the 1968 Presidential campaign... Kinda tarnished his image there...

The Columbia space shuttle disaster was 20 years ago today. IU was supposed to play Louisville on CBS that afternoon, but the game never aired because the network devoted the entire afternoon to coverage of the explosion. 

I was ice fishing at the Huntington Reservoir with my son.  Fishing with kids usually is a losing battle even more so in the winter.  But his interest was there that day as the fish cooperated.
