punctuation, she has a degree in that, you know

It is almost three. Hooray. Well but sort of not hooray. Depends on how you look at it. I have dance rehearsal tonight beginning at 5:30. I'm hoping we won't be there until all hours of the night, but I'm also assuming that is wishful thinking. Apparently I'm going to help make calls on lighting. Should be interesting, my portfolio of skiiiillllls is growing daily.

So I was watching the History Channel last night and saw some interesting things.
April 29, 1975, the signal was given for the U.S. to evacuate Saigon.
-Americans began marrying Vietnamese women just to get them out of the country, and the cost to marry went from $20 to $2,000.
-1373 Americans were evacuated
-5595 Vietnamese were evacuated and taken to U.S. aircraft carriers
-During the operation, the aircraft carriers were filled with people, and helicopters were no longer able to land; to make room 45 helicopters were pushed off the carriers or landed in the ocean.
-Following the operation $3.6 million dollars in American currency was burned at the Embassy in Saigon to prevent the North Vietnamese government from accessing it.

Interesting, huh? I just thought it was bizarre to see the footage of helicopters being dumped into the ocean. Meatloaf hosted this special, which was followed by a special on the history of illegeal drugs in America (See posts from June of last year, it's the same special. Really interesting though.)
