How Odd


What’s that noise? Rain. With just a 30% chance of rain, sure enough, we got some early this morning. And of course we have a Special Weather Statement for the day and the days to come; rain and snow.



Apropos of nothing at all; we were driving past the Chico cemetery the other day and I glanced over at the entrance. That when I saw the torpedo. Yes, a memorial of some kind as there was plaque mounted below it. But, wait…a torpedo? Why on earth would you put a once deadly explosive device on display at a cemetery? Do some cemeteries have bombs displayed? Do smaller cemeteries have a plaque with bullets on them? And how about really big cemeteries, like Forest Lawn; should they have an old atomic bomb on display? This is weird! And sick…

No, this is not the Chico torpedo. Chico's is much smaller. After all, it's a small town. And they had their choice of a torpedo or a hand grenade. The torpedo seemed a better choice.
