A Day That Would Live In Infamy

 

The slide displays the waterfront of Honolulu, Hawaii, as seen from Pearl Harbor, with the distinctive white structure of the USS Arizona Memorial visible in the foreground. 

The memorial marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. (Yes, 84 years ago, yesterday) The attack led to the United States' involvement in World War II. 

Bonus - Whereas, 39 years ago today, I started by current full-time job. Woo.

Bonus 2 - Most English Headline ever?

The View From My Apartment

 

Yes, looking out the window, the view is of 1960's Monaco.

Despite the fact that I live in the Gorbals in Glasgow.  Must be one of them optical illusions thingies. (Actually, just realised that that slide image may be left-right reversed.Oops.)

Bonus - There must be a story behind this...

 

On This Day...

 

I could have chosen a more iconic image for today, I have quite a few from someone's visit to the famous location.  But this one is relevant, even if the location "The Punchbowl" is lesser know.

For those who haven't twigged, this marks a date that will live in infamy.

Did You Know: The United Kingdom declared war on Japan nine hours before the U.S.

Bonus - The naming of snow-ploughs
