Ballistic?

I just checked the temp for Gainesville, Fl. (online to be reliable) and it's 94 degrees F. Yes, my a/c is on. Thank goodness I cut my grass yesterday although it was hot yesterday too but not 94. It's almost 6 P.M. Wow, that's hot for 6 P.M. in April, even in Florida.

A couple minutes ago I checked the news and North Korea has fired another "ballistic missile", another failure apparently. That made me wonder exactly what is a ballistic missile. This is the definition that came up when I typed it in: "A missile with a high arching trajectory that is initially powered and guided but falls under gravity onto its target." I wonder how that relates to the expression that someone goes ballistic.

But, more seriously, do they have nuclear warheads on them? And do even failures explode? And if they don't explode, where do they go? I'm with the hawks on this. Why are we letting this little twit continue his shananigans? Fool or not, he may get lucky, then what?

until next time...c
