THIS DAY IN WW2 (2.7.40)
In the North Atlantic... The British merchant ship Arandora Star is sunk off the coast of Ireland by a U-boat. Of the 1200 people aboard 800 are drowned. They are among the 8000 "enemy aliens" who are to be deported from Britain for internment abroad.
From Berlin... An Armed Forces High Command, OKW, order is issued entitled "The War Against England." It begins "The Fuhrer and Supreme Commander has decided that a landing in England is possible." In response to this order Goring gives instructions for an intensified air blockade with especial attention to be given to attacks on shipping.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
After a manic day yesrday, a good 2.5 hours at the keyboard doing blogging, client follow-up, networking follow-up and the accounts.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
To emerge from adversity strengthens confidence. To bask in a string of victories breeds arrogance and overconfidence.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Making great leaps in understanding the nature of fear. Maybe I'll do those eyebrows today!
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Where would you turn for comfort when no one approves of you?
TODAY'S ONELINER
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. : D
GARY'S 100 CLASSIC ALBUMS YOU MUST OWN No.74
MOTORHEAD - 1916 (1990)
A creative high point at the beginning of the 90's

TRIVIA
The American flag patch is backwards on U.S. Army uniforms.
The blue field on the flag (the part with the stars) faces forward. This is to symbolize carrying a flag into battle. The blue field with the stars is the part of the flag that's closest to the flag pole, so if you were marching while holding a flag, the blue field would always be in the front.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
My intuition will guide me faithfully in this moment.
