Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts.

klsanford0: Ah yes. I see it on my calendar now. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you.

Ours is on the 4th Thursday next month (Nov). First, Halloween later this month. Then Thanksgiving travel madness and the Xmas panic attack.

Can't rush things: gotta make a list; gotta make a list, gotta make a list.....
