    Oh I know the rules. Was by myself, no pics, but the rattles are on the porch back at the ranch. I'll get your proof, Ripley, believe it or not.

    Not sure it was exactly 5', it went from my shoulders to the ground

    Hitler takes power.

    On July 29, 1921, Adolf Hitler becomes the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party. Under Hitler, the Nazi Party grew into a mass movement and ruled Germany as a totalitarian state from 1933 to 1945.

    1945 - 32 US A-26 aircraft attacked Nagasaki, Japan between 10 and 12 p.m. dropping 51 tons of bombs and 6 tons of fragmentation bombs. The main target were the industrial facilities on the water. The ship fitting factory at the Mitsubishi shipyard was totally destroyed; several other industrial facilities nearby were also damaged. Merchant ship Sansui Maru No. 5 was sunk at its mooring at Akunoura. The attack also destroyed a 20-meter stretch of street car tracks, damaged the Nagasaki Teachers Training School, destroyed 43 homes, and damaged 113 homes. In total, 22 people were killed, 40 people were wounded, and 3 people were reported missing.

    Classic!

    On this day in history, Charles, the Prince of Wales, married Lady Diana Spencer in St. Paul's Cathedral in London. I watched it on TV. It was quite a show, beautifully done.

    Yeah, that didn't happen.

    1945: after dropping off the Bomb at Tinian, the USS Indianapolis is torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. 1195 crewmen, ~890 made it out of the ship, 316 survived, sharks got the rest
