14x Pax showed for the anniversary of the Trinity Test of the Manhattan Project which was the first Atomic bomb detonation in New Mexico on July 16, 1945.
As we circled up, we were wondering where the MQ was and discussed the long thread of Tweets the night before. So many tweets between Etch-A-Sketch and the MQ, Mona Lisa, on who the Q was this week. It appeared the MQ wasn't going to show sincy YHC had the Q. Perhaps afraid of the proverbial beat down he know would ensue. But just as we were on the disclaimer and who to (or not to) be responsible for injuries, the MQ rolled out of the gloom to join the foray.

Remembering the Trinity Test and the Manhatten Project is bitter sweet, or sweat in our case. Using these weapons of mass destruction on our enemy at the time, Japan, ended WWII in the Pacific. The use of the weapons, though costing thousands of lives, very possiblly saved tens of thousands of American and Allied Forces if they would have launched a large scale invasion of Japan. And lets not forget about Pearl Harbor. We can say in truth that no nation has dared to execute a large scale military attack on our homeland since then. To make peace, one must prepare for war. Pray for peace.
Thanks to all that came out this morning. Don't forget to sign up to Q!
