#2: Armageddon: good... ¿versus evil?

Oh, ho. ¿What's this? ¿A second posting with the second podcast? ¿Already? Yes, indeed. And it only took me the better part of two days; a far cry from the two months the first post/podcast took me. This is the second story I ever told at storytelling. The topic was "Armageddon: good vs. evil" and, as always, this is a true story.

I've made a couple of format tweaks to the podcast. There's a theme song written and performed by yours truly (it would be fair to get excited, yes) and an introduction that's basically me saying what you're reading (no need for excitement, none). This will also be available on iTunes if you search "sawyer blur" or "fish on a pole." I'm not sure what the lag time is between when I post this and when iTunes makes it available but if it's not there now it will be soon-ishly.

WARNING: this story acknowledges the fact that societies other than the United States might be doing admirable things that are worthy of note. American jingoists might want to steer clear of this one. I would never have thought to add this but when I told my grandma (RIP) more-or-less this story a few years ago she sat listening in clearly aggravated silence before yelling at me, "¡they tried to kill your grandfather!" ¿Who? The Japanese. ¿When? World War II. ¿Why? Presumably because the US and Japan were at war rather than any particular grudge held against my grandpa, who was a delightful man (although that has nothing to do with the story).
