    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        What memories he must have had. He was also shot down twice during the war.

          He flew Black Cats. That took balls. Black Cats are so named, because they are matte black Catalinas and they are combat aircraft. They worked at night, strafing and bombing Japanese bases and ships, often at mast height - in the dark.

                They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.
