It’s Been 84 Years

It’s been 84 years…since Los Angeles had its first blackout during WWII, and since Japan won the Battle of Guam.

This was a depressingly war-heavy month to have started this account 😭

It’s been 84 years…since actor Beau Bridges was born. Through his prolific career, he’s racked up hundreds of credits and won 3 Emmys, 2 Golden Globes, a Grammy, and other awards.

He was also shirtless in “Norma Rae,” which I’m not mad about.

Happy birthday, Beau!

It’s been 84 years…since the second day of the Rumbula massacre. Nazis murdered about 25,000 Jews near Riga, Latvia on November 30 and December 8.

May their memory be a blessing.

It’s been 84 years…since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

129 Japanese men and 2,403 Americans (including 68 civilians) were killed, pulling the US into World War II.

Today, only 12 survivors of the attack are still alive, all over the age of 100.
