<The greatest danger comes from Russian and Chinese missiles. Currently, at least thirteen Chinese nuclear missiles are thought to be capable of reaching the West Coast of the United States.>

Made me think about where I'm taking my sister and the kids tomorrow ... Brookings-Harbor, Oregon - the only spot in the continental U.S. that was bombed by a foreign power (Japan) in World War II.

[I never realized that was anywhere in the continental U.S. that was bombed by Japan, until I started to read up on this little place on the coast that I'm taking them to.]

The pilot of the plane returned to Brookings twenty years after the bombing and presented the town with his personal samuri sword. The sword, now on display at Brookings City Hall, had been carried in his plane for good luck.
