From CNN: Two U.S. cruise missiles fell in unpopulated areas of Turkey on Monday, the Pentagon said. No one was hurt. In a separate incident the day before, Turkish and U.S. military authorities investigated an undetonated missile that appeared to have fallen into a remote village in southeastern Turkey.

Today I once again had the honor to conduct Mass at Mons Abiegnus Oasis, with my lovely Priestess trueheart, the estimable Deacon EMK, and our two dear Children, H & J, recently returned from Portland.
