Our Amazing World

When I was a little boy all we had were 78 rpm records (monaural and one song per side). I remember when the 45s came out and we were amazed.

Now I have 2000 songs (the 26 minute long Beethoven's 6th being one of them) stored on a microchip in my cell phone with room for more than twice that. They are on a memory card the size of my little finger nail - INCREDIBLE!!!!!
 
 The memory card is the small one.
It needs an adaptor to fit in most devices
(or to keep from getting lost)

In Harm's Way

An oft used phrase and the title of a great John Wayne Movie about the Navy in World War II. The original comes from a famous naval hero of the American Revolution.



I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.... John Paul Jones
