OT WE 28 OCT 26 ~ Surface Breach
On this day in history -
1492 - Christopher Columbus sights Cuba and claims it for Spain under the name "Juana"
1831 - British scientist Michael Faraday demonstrates his dynamo invention, an electric generator
1962 - The Cuban Missile Crisis Ended. After thirteen of the tensest days of the Cold War, the Soviet Union announced it would dismantle the ballistic missiles it had placed in Cuba. In return,
the United States agreed not to invade Cuba again. Oops.
1992 - Lee Jang Rim, the founder of the Dami Mission Christian Movement in South Korea, declared that the world would end. The world didn't end, and he was later convicted for stealing millions
from his followers.
Today is national Separation of Church and State Day. Oh well. Bush II didn't observe that one.

Hey, good morning
.
After several days of 'puter struggles, have found a way to work
around, thanks in part to EL, JtC and my friendly librarian. Just
in time to properly host today's OT.
Will take awhile to catch-up on emails (another issue) and the news
but I see the 4 power players in West Asia have met for negotiations
to develop a regional security apparatus: SAUDI, IRAN, PAK and TURK.
This is without the US involvement. They have realized
if there is to be peace in the middle east it will not involve western
influence. I hope that works out.
The election in Israel does not favor the Likuud and Bolsonaro is running
to the US to escape prosecution from Brazil. OT so fire away.
Zionism is a social disease
