Yesterday in my toastmaster club one lady had a presentation about Pearl Harbor.... at least this forced Americans to help Europeans to win the war

I have a bit of a reminder on a regular basis. I get to hear the machine gun practice from the nearby army base. Their shooting range is about 4 miles as the bullet flies.
The noise is no bother, but I wish it were quiet, very quiet. Much as I used to drive past Eielson AFB near Fairbanks headed for the mountains for the weekend. They had 12 fuelers (aircraft) based there to refuel US bombers in the air. If there were 9 or more on the ground, then all was well with the world. If there were 6-8, then it was worth turning on the radio to see what was happening in the world. Fewer than that and there was some major crisis ...
