62 years ago today

Sixty two years ago today, the atomic bomb was birthed in the Nevada (right?) desert (eleven years later, I was born). This birthed the atomic age, and was, in my opinion a MAJOR factor in the development of the Cold War. (I just returned from the former Soviet Union and am bringing home some memorabilia from the Cold War. I'll post more about that later) I don't know what day July 16th gets... but it's up there... at least in my experience in life, politics, history and reality itself. I think that July 16 is second in the twentieth century after June 28th but I think I already posted about that... hmmm, let's see...

I've never seen a list of the word's most important days. But these two would (on my list) be up there. I do know what #1 would be though... The Thursday or Friday (depending on what you do with the day of Jesus' death) before passover in 29 AD and the Sunday after Passover that year would share #1 (we can argue why the first day of man is not #1 in the comments if you wish (" bring it") on the list. Why? Easy! Cuz, this screwed up world was, with that act of death, burial and Resurrection, offered REAL peace, from Grace!
