Re: The woods are lovely,
They look darker than anytime in my 63 year memory. The only time I remember the future looking this uncertain is back during the missle crisis' of the 60's. Fortunately, then, I was too young to understand what was going on. Unfortunately, today, I do. Not only do they look dark and deep, but ugly and dangerous.

DARK INDEED!!
I keep hoping that in parody with that poem, the words "its always darkest before the dawn" will somehow ring true and things will get a whole lot better soon...but I'm not holding my breath. Miles and miles AND MILES!

I recall standing behind Dad's chair while JFK was giving his "Any Attack" speech. Right after it was over, Dad moved us all into the "Special Room" in the basement. At about the same time my grandfather called an said, all the Nike Bases were actively, bringing them out of the ground. A sight, that I will never forget. WGN (Chicago)was showing same on the tube. I never knew there were missiles in downtown Chicago, but there they were, coming up out of the sidewalks, fueled, fused and ready to fly.
I'd seen one or two bases do drills before, but this was no drill. I truly believe if the back room deals had fell thru, those missiles would have had to be used.
We are about the same age, I'm looking at 66 next year,

I remember that poem from the movie Telefone with Charles Bronson. Russian agents used that poem to awaken "sleepers" and start an inside war of espionage in the mainland US.
