We remember anniversaries and a birthday which happen this week. Today is the birthday in 1933 of Rod McKuen poet & singer-songwriter.

We reflect upon the misfortunes of atomic power generators in the Ukraine and Japan and the tragic events of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania  as well as the bombing in 1999 of a gay pub in Soho London.

We remember the on-going adventures of the descendants of Fletcher Christian of the Mutiny of the Bounty and finish off with recollections by Phil of times and events in San Francisco, the locale of the Bridge over the Golden Gate.

Plus some trivia and mirth and one Simpsons reference
