Here’s my wish for you today: May you not live long enough to see the history of your hometown rewritten.

In an effort to point someone to a bed and breakfast there that I know is a great place to stay but can’t remember the name of, I was doing some searching on Google. This led me to look at a few other web sites featuring information about the town, in particular the Admiral Nimitz Museum and the new(ish) Bush Gallery of the Pacific War.

I’m not going to waste time getting snippy and griping about it here. Instead, I am going to write emails to the appropriate parties (because I actually KNOW them personally) and complain right to the source about the misinformation.

Furthermore, if anyone would like a well-written history of the Admiral Nimitz Museum or the Bush Gallery, ask me. My parents and I had a front row seat for all of it, right across the street from us and were involved in the renovations of the Nimitz personally. Daddy painted signs and I planted Irises in the Peace Garden alongside the Japanese gardeners who designed it. So yeah, I know a thing or two about the whole shebang.

Annoys me no end when people change the way things were in order to make themselves look better or to make one thing seem more important than another.

And if you want to go to one of these museums, go the the Nimitz one. Even better, go with me. I have a story about almost every piece of war machinery sitting in those glass cases. You see, a long time ago, before that “junk” was important enough to protect, it was all laying around in the field across from my house and another field a few blocks away, and I played on it and with it almost every day … and it was FUN.

Now if you will excuse me, I have some emails to write, and then … instead of sleeping or doing housework as I should … I’m going to go play some more FFXII. The game is getting really intense. Unless there’s something cool on TV, like a nice relaxing nature program. :)
