Hi world out there,
I finally found out how to repost my YouTube videos here on my blog so I just massively spammed myself and posted most all the videos I have made on my channel here. Yeah, I know it was so easy to do, but I'm old, it takes us old cootes a little while to catch on! :-)
Strangely, I didn't think to start re-posting my videos from oldest to newest and did it in reverse so that the order I stuck them on this blog is opposite to how I created them. Oh well, close enough for government work, huh?
Everyone be well out there. Lots of crap going on. Ebola, wars, etc... hope anyone that reads these words is well and okay!

"Black May" Non-Fiction Book Review (WW2 History)
I wanted to try my hand at making a YouTube video so I made one
reviewing a book I read recently. I am a bookworm definitely, mostly
reading non-fiction of various subjects. One area I like to read about
is World War 2 history.
This book is called "Black May: The Epic Story of the Allies' Defeat of the German U-Boats in May 1943" by Michael Gannon, c.1998

Fort Stevens Walking Tour (part 2)
The final bits of video I made when I visited Fort Stevens in Astoria, Oregon last year in 2013.
The reason this location is so historical is because Fort Stevens was attacked and shelled by a Japanese Submarine in the early days of 1942. It was only one of the few times that the continental U.S. was directly attacked during World War II.

Fort Stevens Walking Tour
Last year (2013), I went with my girlfriend and visited Fort Stevens in Astoria, Oregon. I spent far too much time at Battery Russell as I didn't realize there was a larger and more interesting site just to the north!
Here is the first part of the video I took from the walking tour of Fort Stevens.
