    Default Dark Ages!

    And Vishnu said "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds"
    Vishnu-The Bhagavad-Gita

    J.Robert Oppenheimer said this quote came into his mind after the first Atomic test July 16-1945 the so called "Trinity Test" New Mexico.

    I have drawn this image from remembering some of the photographs from the Bikini Atoll tests.

    Aptly named Stygg. Atomic warfare is a scary thought. I remember when I was in the Marine Corps I was part of the Cuban missile blockade. Was I scared then, NO but I don't think I fully realized the implications.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    You was a US Marine Larry and at Cuba, that's very interesting Larry, please forgive me if I seem to be prying but after your reply it brought to mind another quote "Do we know really who anyone is" At ease marine that's all I'm going to ask
