Duchess & Sadie's Reclining Domain

NW Okie has been taking us walking up to the San Juan National Forests and Vallecito Creek lately. By the time we get back home, we get to situate ourselves in the stretched out recliner. As you can see here in this photo on the left.

The Day Japan Bombed Oregon (Sept. 1942)

The Day Japan Bombed Oregon (Sept. 1942) Have you ever heard the WWII story concerning the day that Japan bombed Oregon? Is this for real?

Ellis Raymer submitted this interesting article about the only submarine launched Japanese bombing of the U.S. mainland during WWII. There was a special on PBS a few weeks back concerning that the Japanese had a plan after major naval losses that they planned to build super submarines that carried aircraft and could airlift bombs to a target and return to the sub. Then the planes would be put back into the sub and it would submerge and be hidden for it's next attack. The Japanese had plan to build fleets of these subs, but only three (3) were ever completed.

Real Excellence in Education

"Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest", but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is." - Sydney J. Harris, journalist and author (1917-1986)

Red Rock Creek is north of Perry and you cross it on U.S. Highway 77 west of Red Rock, Oklahoma. As you follow state highway 15 east towards Red Rock, the creek would always get out of its banks in the low area where it made a bend (west of the town of Red Rock). The creek empties into (and feeds) Sooner Lake at the north-east portion.
