Cleveland’s missiles
I didn’t realize that so many Nike missiles were deployed around Cleveland. (h/t to Jim Bates for the pointer)

Movie traditions
I have several movies that I watch every year, each tied to a specific date or time of year.
Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I will watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
On or about June 6th each year I’ll watch The Longest Day. (Occasionally, I’ll watch Saving Private Ryan, but The Longest Day is the superior movie)
Sometime on the July 4th weekend, I will watch the musical 1776. (Without a doubt, the best Broadway musical)
What are your movie traditions?

A Kentucky battlefield preserved.
A really great article on the preservation of the Mill Springs battlefield site in southern Kentucky. I need to go down and see this battlefield.

PZL P-7 and P-11
Arma has a very nice blog with some nice history articles that tie into their products. This one is very good. I will have to check back periodically.

Our planet
We understand so little about our planet and its history and the way the entire system works. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

June 6th, 1944
As we remember the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, this column makes a very good point that, in addition to a lot of combat bravery, there was an incredible logistical challenge that had to be overcome. Everyone alive today owes these folks a debt of gratitude.
