I found out about this many years ago when I ordered a copy of the front page of the New York Times from my actual birthday (2/24/42) and the big story was the bombardment that occurred the day before.

Over 1500 rounds were fired that hit nothing. Three local residents died in car accidents, and two more died of heart attacks.

I am grateful to not have suffered through a bombardment of any kind!

Trip, if you were not before, you are now, officially a diamond in the rough.

Thanks El. Hard to have conceived of actually getting to this point. Quite amazed that I'm actually here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardment_of_Ellwood At first glance, I thought this was article about poor ole Elwood was getting bombed !

That was my next question.

That was my next question.

You really could have ran with this Elwood, sure you don't have some hidden memories? might be a little money in it

I prefer to keep my credibility somewhat intact.

Truthfully, I have a long term relationship with a shop in Goleta and enjoy traveling US 101 whenever possible. Glad the bombardment did not adversely affect either one.

Glad I came on today, Happy Birthday ole boy ! Notice I said Ole boy, not OLD Boy. Trip, you got me by five years. I just bet you got another ten years of driving in you yet.

Thank you partner, I appreciate the "Ole" boy reference!

I still enjoy the driving, the only thing I don't like is that with the automatics I don't have the shift lever to rest my right hand on while going down the road.
