  4. I have an amazing thing to tell you. As you know, all my life I have searched for photos of myself from early childhood, having none. Today my cousin Jim posted a COLOUR VIDEO from 1959, and I'm in it! Then he kindly made some stills for me, from the video. I cried for joy and am so deeply grateful!

    They're grainy but cute, and what a treasure to me! Have a peek:

    1. Did anybody notice the definition of "white?" Native Americans and Pacific Islanders are "white" while racially Caucasian Hispanics are not. [shaking head] Pundits will say anything.

  8. I just noticed in the news that the Navy is taking delivery of the USS Zumwalt. It is called a "destroyer" but is the size of a late 1940's heavy cruiser. I see that the third and last ship of the series will be named the Lyndon B. Johnson--a name that by former custom ought to be given to an aircraft carrier. I just don't understand the new designations and naming scheme for US Navy ships.
