  • Some bright bulb scheduled 'peaceful, natural disaster-related' joint maneuvers with the Chinese army...in Hawaii ! Maybe they strayed. Check the coastline for subs, like days of yore. Didn't hear a thing here.
    Nice header, by the way, Kate. Beautiful sunset and sea. May peace reign in such rosy skies as that.
