Mar 8 1968

A Soviet submarine sinks in the Pacific Ocean, killing all 97 crew members aboard. Later in the year a U.S. submarine secretly retrieves an encryption machine, codebooks, and nuclear warheads from the Soviet vessel. A further bold attempt is made in 1974 to bring up the entire submarine using the CIA ship Glomar Explorer, built by Howard Hughes. That mission supposedly fails, and is made public by the Los Angeles Times to the great embarrassment of the Agency.

idiots....only in Iowa That happened only about 40 miles away from here.

Starting to worry about the amount of rain we are getting here. My yard has a puddle about 40 ft long with about 2" of standing water...totally saturated. I hope it dries out before spring really hits, or this area is F**ked again.
