Historically Speaking

So, nothing important happened today.

Rumination

So, they say those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who make me repeat it are doomed. Spiritually, of course.

Foresight

So, it takes about two days to put me where I'm supposed to be. I seem to be working. After all, I was built for this. Surrounding me is calm, although you cannot really tell from where you're standing. Q: What am I? A: 88 days of senseless destruction.
All right, so maybe it takes a week.
