Ace paperback - published 1970 - 1st paperback edition
Howard Fast (1914-2003) was a celebrated and controversial American writer who, upon occasion, wrote science-fiction stories. 'The General Zapped an Angel",first published in 1969, is a collection of 8 stories - seven of which had never been previously published. The exception is the story " The Mouse" which was featured in the November 1969 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
In this reader's oppinion a science-fiction short story that keeps your interest and shows a commendable a degree of originality and creativity is a rare commodity indeed. The fact that the stories in this collection meet my subjective criteria is a detail I find quite amazing. I would go so far to say that this relatively slim volume would be an excellent text for anyone foolish enough to aspire to write short fiction.
-The Mouse: Just what would happen if aliens infused a common field mouse with intelligence - and then left him as an abandoned experiment?
-"The Wound": Using atomic weapons to release underground oil deposits may disturb more than sand and gas.
-"The Movie": Some folks find reel life more real that, well, real life.
-"The Mohawk": A Mohawk Indian parks himself in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral for some deep meditation much to the consternation of the local parish priest.
-"The Insects": Our friends the bugs start broadcasting a disturbing message "You must stop killing us".
-"The Vision of Milty Boil": A very short, extremely wealthy contractor keeps building vast high rise apartment buildings with lower and lower ceiling heights.
-"Tomorrow's Wall Street Journal": Would you like a copy...well the Devil will give you one for a price.
-"The General Zapped an Angel": One day in Vietnam a US General shot one of God's angles from a helicopter gun ship and then...
-"The Interval": If our earthly landscape was one big elaborate movie set what would happen when the show was over?

This tiny Ace Hardware store opened in the late 1990s in a building that was originally a Ben Franklin, then a V&S. I think the only time I ever went in the V&S was when it was going out of business ca. 1997. Strangely, they moved the entrance from the front to side (note the angled "front" that's now on the left) and inexplicably knocked down a tiny portion of the building; it used to abut the "Up North Store" sign. US-23, Standish.
Ace Hardware rear door. Ace is still there and it has a cool storefront but Central Ave was a major construction zone and I couldn't get a good photo.

A twilight photograph of a new shopping center anchored with an Ace Hardware Store.
The workers had just spent a month stocking the hardware store. I had to wait for big delivery trucks which were parkied out front to be unloaded. None of the other stores were even close to being ready, most were just unpainted drywall and poured concrete floors. Many of the seven stores had piles of construction debris in them so I did not want any lights on. I'm sure if I went back all, or most, of those stores would now be occupied but it is a one hour drive each way to the location. If at some point I'm in the area, I will take a look.
The nice thing about the shopping center being so new is there are no signs above each of the other businesses making for very clean lines of the building.
I hand-blended two photographs taken 20 minutes apart. One before sunset, one after. I had to wait until after sunset for the photcell sensor to turn on the parking lot lights and store signs. I was most fortunate to catch the last bit of sunlight hitting the building but not the sky in the background.

Lowel DP 1,000 Watt lights - one at far left illuminating a small hill and scrub growth. The other light is behind the back right corner to illuminate the evergreen trees. It's hard on a computer screen to see the detail of the little hill but on the enlargements hanging in the builder's board room one can see the detail. Since I knew the client would likely be ordering prints I made sure to take the time to light those details.
Hundreds of feet of AC extension cords
Photoshop CS3 to blend the daylight and twilight images together. Then darken the roadway with it's distracting painted stripes in the foreground to the point where it almost disappears in darkeness which, I feel, makes this brand new shopping center stand out sharply.

Acer palmatum 'Bihou' - The yellow bark and chartreuse leaves makes a nice contrast during the spring and summer. This picture is featured in my 2013 calendar www.zazzle.com/japanese_maple_calendar-158713028036361905
Fall leaves are gold and yellow. In winter the tree has very vivid yellow bark that shines in the winter garden. It contrasts nicely when paired with evergreens, Sango Kaku, and even snow. Growth habit is vase shaped.
Ace of Aces, Billy Bishop, VC.
Lieutenant-Colonel W.A. ‘Billy’ Bishop, from Owen Sound, Ontario, was one of the British Empire’s premier fighter aces, with 72 credited kills.
Driven to succeed, and a skilled marksman, Bishop quickly scored dozens of combat victories. On 2nd June 1917, he destroyed a number of German aircraft while flying a solo mission, for which he received the Victoria Cross. At the time and since, critics have questioned the truth of Bishop’s unwitnessed feat. However, there is no question about Bishop’s skill, bravery and devotion to duty.
The Canadian War Museum is Canada's national museum of military history. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, the museum covers all facets of Canada's military past, from the first recorded instances of death by armed violence in Canadian history several hundred years ago to the country's most recent involvement in conflicts.
It includes major permanent exhibitions on wars that have been fought on Canadian soil, the total wars of the twentieth century, the Cold War and peace support operations abroad, and Canada's history of honouring and remembrance.
There is also an open storage area displaying large objects from the Museum's collection, from naval guns to tanks, from motorcycles to jet aircraft. The exhibits depict Canada's military past in its personal, national and international dimensions, with special emphasis on the human experience of war and the manner in which war has affected, and been affected by, Canadians' participation.
ACE seems to have been out pasting recently, there's a nice short clip of him on a mission doing the rounds
