During all of the talk of how the Enola Gay was going to be presented there
were many discussions about how this relative or that friend had experienced
WW2, and a literary quote about how "war is long periods of boredom
punctuated by moments of terror"...
 
Well what do you suppose I found buried in my geology textbook as I studies
for my exam?
 
"The stratigraphic record is like the life of a soldier-long periods of
boredom separated by brief periods of terror."  -D.V. Ager, 1980
 
If someone already brought this up, or no one really gives I hoot, then my
face is red.  But I thought it was cool that I found it; or rather, that it
found me.
