Happy AMERIKA Day! May 16, 1987, the first annual AMERIKA Day was held in Tecumseh, Nebraska. The purpose of the event was to celebrate the filming of the ABC miniseries of the same name. The *last* annual AMERIKA Day was held the following year.

65 years ago today, the United States conducted its third underwater nuclear test—Wahoo (9 kilotons)—8,000 feet outside the Enewetak Atoll lagoon off Bogan Island. A B7 “Betty” nuclear depth bomb was detonated 490 feet underwater near an array of ships, barges, and submarines.

The most trusted voice in music
It is a dark and stormy night, and you are totally that person who hears a weird noise outside and goes out in the misty cold damp dark to check on whatever it might be without even so much as a flashlight, exactly like the beginning of every cliché horror film ever.

"In the end, all you can do is get your own mirror right" and even that is merely a reflection like that black rectangle albatross you hold in your hand everyday.
If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,
What you see is only on the surface.
When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath,
The measure of the depth can be deceiving.
The bottom has a rocky reputation
You can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare.
From up above it's hard to see but you knowwhen you're there.
On the bottom words are shallow.
On the surface talk is cheap.
You can only judge the distance by the company you keep
In the eyes of the CONFESSOR.
