This building is wearing a helmet.

That would be appropriate. It's a monument on a former battlefield.

(In honor of the memory of lives lost on Pearl Harbor Day)

X in the map marks the airfields where hangars were destroyed by the Japanese Axis kamikaze pilots during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Yucca Valley, San Bernardino County, California

I lived fairly close to here growing up. It was a beautiful place that we enjoyed visiting on short drives. But for fun, my family had a tradition where whenever we passed through the town and the surrounding valley, we would all start exclaiming with disdain "Yuck! Look at all that Yucca! It's so Yucky here! Yuck! Nothing but Yucky Yucca as far as the eye can see."

So where are those three notches of Arne Sacnussemm?

I don’t think they’re in the book!

 

[Judge]

I don’t think they’re in the book!

LOL...I don't remember.

The good news: I read that book. The bad news: Back in 1965.

Didn't see the movie on tv until either 1966 or 1967.
