Shortly after 1:30 am on the 7th of December 1941, the Naval Intercept Station at Bainbridge Island Washington, intercepted a message from Tokyo, bound for the Japanese embassy in Washington DC. The message was in purple, the most secret and complex of the Japanese diplomatic cyphers. As tensions mounted in the pacific, the importance of breaking the enigmatic cypher became all the more pressing. It would become one of the most infamous messages in history.

So how did breaking the code halt the attack?

At Midway there was no intent to halt the attack.

Sorry to hear. About your failing vision.

And 90?!

Hope I'm even half as spry as you at that age.

Christ be with you.

Will be 90

My Dad was 90 when he passed away in 2009. He just wanted to live in my sister's house and play Grandpa. But my sister would have never allowed that. She put him in a nursing home instead.

I bet they made her co-sign for him since she told me he owed $10,000 when he died. Now she is dead so the nursing home is shit out of luck. :-/
