        That same week my Grandfather who owned a tiny (2 trucks) trucking company here in the coal fields of WV contracted with the USAF AND HAULED A 40,000 lb. H-Bomb to Patrick AFB. He said he has no idea why the USAF used him, as he never did it before or afterwards. Very strange.

        He had an 'escort' of sorts. 3 car loads of Air Force MPs armed but in cilivian dress, in civilian cars, convoyed ahead and behind the whole 1,000 mile trip. But no police or 'official' security. Spooked my Grandad, who is a Pearl Harbor Survivor. Going strong at 95.

        I lived just south of Patrick Air Force Base during that time. I can still remember the number of fighter jets, the increased security at both Patrick and Cape Canaveral, how much harder it was for my Dad to go to work at the Cape.

        The way they’re aimed, looks more like anti-shark rockets to me.

        The Cuban missile crisis and cold war is hardly comparable to not liking Donald Trump.

        I ‘didn’t like’ either of the Bushes. I believe that Trump and the GOP are on a mission to destroy everything good about America. The fear I feel is similar to what my parents felt in 1962 waiting to see if America was going to endure.

        Well it is an irrational fear so do not worry!

        An odd response today when bombs are being delivered to media, former presidents, Congress women and others. I will keep my fear and remain vigilant, thanks.
