Nation still in turmoil … From one issue to another … I decided to look up previous wars and their length … Length of U.S. involvement in foreign military conflicts as of April 2021.

Afghanistan War (2001-Present): 19 years and 6 months
Vietnam War (1965-1975): 10 years and 2 months
Iraq War (2004-2012): 8 years and 9 months
World War II (1942-1945): 3 years and 8 months
Korean War (1950-1953): 3 years and 1 month
Philippine-American War (1899-1902): 3 years and 1 month
World War I (1917-1918): 1 year and 7 months
Spanish-American War (1898): 8 months

Thought would be interesting … As Paul Harvey would say “JUST THE FACTS”.

Someone shared 20 largest, most populated cities in the world … Largest is Tokyo, Japan … 34 million inhabitants … Largest US city … New York City … 22 million.

Checking weather … Yesterday’s official high for 28337 area … 92 degrees…

A slight chance of showers today, including thunderstorms likely after noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 88. Wind gusts as high as 17 mph and a 60% chance of rain. Tonight, low around 74 and a 50% chance of rain … More of the same Wednesday … high near 88 with a heat index as high as 100 … and 60% chance of rain…
