Sixty-five years ago today.

The wreck of the USS Arizona, along with being a national memorial, is helping out scientists & engineerings studying the decay of ship hulls, since there's remains half a million gallons of fuel left in onboard storage(and slowly leaking). The guys say that nothing big will happen for about a decade more, but at some point, something big is going to rupture.

In related news, it turns out that Ken Burns is now working on a WWII docu, focusing on the American home front. I found out about it from here from all places, where the author expresses strong concerns since "Hollywood's ganged up to tear down the icon of WWII."

According to my anniversary gift list that came in my day planner, one is supposed to give a grey star sapphire on the 65th anniversary.

b.c. was supposed to be good back in the '60s, i think.

it's funny how john lennon's death (dec 8) gets a lot more anniversary crap than pearl harbor (dec 7).
