THIS DAY IN WW2 (20.7.40)
Over Germany... First Lieutenant Werner Streib in an Me110 night-fighter, using only visual contact, achieves the first nighttime kill of the war by shooting down a British Whitley bomber over northwestern Germany.

In Berlin... Goring, the commander in chief of the Luftwaffe, orders the creation of the first specialized night-fighter wing -- Nachtjagdgeschwader 1 (NJG 1) -- under the command of Colonel Josef Kammhuber.

In the Mediterranean... Off the coast of Tobruk in Libya, 2 Italian destroyers and a cargo ship are torpedoed by British Swordfish torpedo bombers.

TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging, me time, and expecting visits from the "counsellor for carers" and the glazier to replace the air-rifled window pane. Some domestic house-husbandry in-between, visiting daughter for supper.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
Only NOW matters, but what you do now to others you do to yourself in all other NOWS

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
If I don't want to hear it, I still have something to learn about it.

TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is your current thought helping you or hurting you?
