Heute ist Winteranfang! (aktuell eher frühlingshaft...)
Die Wintersonnenwende markiert mit der längsten Nacht des Jahres den Beginn des astronomischen Winters.
Laut uraltem Glauben gehen in der längsten Nacht Geister und Dämonen um, die die Menschen zu allen Zeiten mit verschiedenen Ritualen zu vertreiben suchten. Ab heute werden aber auch die Tage wieder länger und ab jetzt rückt der Frühling stetig näher und macht Hoffnung auf Neubeginn.
Was mir sonst noch zum Winter einfällt (wie er früher einmal war...): Rodeln, Schneemann bauen, Bratäpfel, am Kaminfeuer sitzen, Schneeballschlacht, Glühwein trinken, Waffeln backen, Spaziergang im Wald, heiße Maronen, Grünkohl essen, heiße Schokolade, Mütze stricken, Schlittschuh laufen.... Oh ja, schön wär´s!! :-)
Was mögt ihr am Winter?

Estos meses muchos han podido recuperar horas de sueño que el ritmo de vida y rutina habitual nos quitaron.
These months many have been able to recover hours of sleep that the rhythm of life and daily routine took away from us.
22 years ago in June of 1994,long before days of CSX in New England, and a railroad named after Pan Am Airlines existed, the CP Rail still maintained a strong presence in Northern Vermont.

MLW RS-18 1819 leads RS-23 8043, RS-18 1807 and C424 4216 with 19 cars starting its climb westbound climb toward Vance Hill at Newport Center, VT skirting Lake Memphremagog on June 21, 1994.
I still can't believe I saw those freaking F-22 Raptors!! After years of dreaming to see one, they come straight to my city to make a flyby!! What more can you ask for?
Here for the centenary of the "LaFayette" French and American Squadron.
The MK.22 was designed to bridge the gap between light support weapons, and standard infantry rifles. Measuring at just under 820mm total length, the MK.22 is surprisingly short for a support weapon; which prevents it from being a hindrance in CQC scenarios.
The standard MK.22 doesn't fall short when it comes to unique features and capabilities. Base models come equipped with a side-mounted digital loaded ammunition count, which can be disabled for concealment if necessary. All MK.22s are also capable of being fed from either a detachable drum, or linked belts; with no modifications necessary.
The MK.22 is chambered in 10mm caseless, a round unique to the rifle. Shitty imgur album demonstrating jam clearance: imgur.com/a/mHDtN
