Skype

After writing the last post, I began to wonder why we didn't have Skype and use it. Well, now we do. Laura is lauradalrymple1 and Jim is jamesaharrs1. The first call we made was to Laura's son Rick, who actually answered! It works!

Last night we went to a WWII USO show at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. That got me to thinking about WWII and the Malaysian Peninsula, where the Japanese attacked and invaded several hours before attacking Pearl Harbor. An opportunity lost that cost many lives.The Japanese landed at Kota Bahru, Malaysia, and Pattani and Songkhla, Thailand. Yet no alarm was raised at Pearl Harbor. Kota Bahru has a nice small museum about the invasion and the British troops that were overrun.
