July 6

The expectation of a Google doodle of some sort that recognizes the date is disappointed but the expectation of Google disappointing is not disappointed. They did do something by changing "I'm feeling lucky" to flip to some other feeling. You cannot feel lucky today on July 6, but you can spin off a feeling of wonderful, stellar, trendy, artistic, what have you, some direction to spin you any other direction than patriotic, nothing like eternal gratitude or loyalty or honorable or disciplined or even jingoistic, those feeling are not part of the vocabulary in which Google can spin you. Google is global and those feelings are not.

Twitter is also global but pretty much already self-selecting.

The gun slot in the LST looks like a tilde over the text making hoñor. Incidentally, LST is a standard crossword answer considered a gimmie providing a key to open a corner. That's how I know it, not from history or from any military reading. And I think that is odd, something important as that known by something so trivial.

And a lot more too, much of it not so nice. Comparisons with today, comparisons between ages of young men doing this and things going on now. Comparisons with national leadership.
