Nice day, real warm, 84 and humid. I did not wash as I had a sick headache all night. Showers at night, we had only a little rain. Boys worked on the house. Donna and Bev were here.
Comment: And our country was ass deep into the Cuban Missile Crisis and I don't remember a lot of personal concern about it. It was the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. "The Cuban Missile Crisis, was a 13-day (October 16–28, 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over Soviet ballistic missiles deployed in Cuba. It played out on television worldwide. After a long time of tense negotiations an agreement was reached between Kennedy and Khrushchev. Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a U.S. public declaration and agreement never to invade Cuba without direct provocation. Secretly, the US also agreed that it would dismantle all U.S.-built Jupiter MRBMs, which were deployed in Turkey and Italy against the Soviet Union but were not known to the public." Wikipedia....
