CONTROL ROOMS

In a relationship, the most epic fight is over control .. I mean, the TV remote control XD
Whoever obtains it will have the power to choose the movie on Netflix, and believe me... it´s a battle that I don´t intend to lose.

T'was the night before Christmas
he lived all alone
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone
I had come down the chimney with
presents to give
and to see just who in this dweling did
live
I looked all around a strange site to
see
No tinsel, no presents, not even a
tree
No stockings on the mantle just boots filled
with sand
On the wall hung pictures of far
distant lands
Medals and Badges, Awards every
kind
A sobering thought came alive in my
mind
This house was different, it was
dark, it was deary
I had found the home of a
soldier
I could see that most clearly
The soldier lie sleeping, silent, alone
Curled up on the floor in this one
bedroom home
His face was so gentle, the room in
such disorder
Not at all how I pictured a
United States Soldier
Was this the hero of whom I'd just read
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for
a bed
Then I realized the other families
that I saw on this night
Hold their lives to soldiers, who are
willing to fight
In the morning around the
world, the children would play
Grown-ups would celebrate a bright
Christmas Day
But they all enjoy freedom each
month of the year
Because of soldiers like the one lying
here
I couldn't help but wonder, how many
lay alone?
On a cold Christmas Eve in lands far
from home
The very thought brought a tear to my
eye
I dropped to my knees and I
started to cry
The soldier awakened, I heard his
ruff voice
Santa don't cry, this life is my
choice...
...I fight for freedom, I don't ask for
more...
...My life is my God, my country, my
core
The soldier rolled over and drifted to
sleep
But I couldn't control it and I
continued to weep
I kept watch for hours... so silent and
still
as both of us shivered from the cold
nights chill
I didn't want to leave him on that cold
dark night
This guardian of honor, so willing to
fight
then the soldier rolled over with a
voice soft and pure
He whispered Carry on Santa, it's
Christmas Day...
...all secure One look at my watch
and I knew he was right
Merry Christmas my friend, may God
Bless you this night
Last evening the fire department had a controlled burn/training for new cadets. 19* out and Dave was gone for a good seven hours. I rode out for a few hours. One has to salute these men and women for their dedication.
Part of the old salt evaporation facility at Newark, California. Controlling water flow from one pond to another.
Now, a part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and being restored to wetlands.

These juvenile Bald Eagles would patrol the beach inches from the volcanic sand looking for scraps, for such young birds, their flight control was amazing.
This is for Joan, a Flickr friend who loves Eagles, and is busy recovering after an operation. Keep at it Joan :o)xx
my first half decent shot of a rufous hummingbird, they are attempting to take control of the feeders, keeping the anna's away to the best of their ability. I only have had the male visit on a couple of occasions that I have noticed...it was a pretty high ISO so not as sharp as I would have hoped
Yesterday (6 march 2021) My photo could be seen on the RTL4 news channel weather forecast ;-)

Assessing frost and freeze damage
On my way home (after a highly recommended haircut due to Covid limitations) I encountered this spectacular phenomenon; frost damage protection by sprinkling water over the fresh young new buds.
Have a good weekend ;-)
Hmmm, I wonder what's trending on Twitter...

Of course we can’t control the Fall, Autumn but the title is a pun on the balloonists who were actually controlling their fall into a space among the trees which are now full of brilliant Autumn (Fall) colours.
I cut off his feet and one wingtip, but I'm fascinated by all the little control surfaces that these egrets have to work with. Check out those leading edge feathers helping to slow his descent

Unless we step into the uncharted territory of the gender revolution, we know exactly where we will be regressing. An all-powerful State that infantilises us, interferes in all our decisions for our own good and—under the pretext of protecting us—keeps us in a childish state of ignorance, fear of punishment and exclusion. The special treatment until now reserved for women, with shame as the primary tool for ensuring their isolation, passivity and lack of protest, could now be extended to all. To understand the mechanics of how women have been made to feel inferior, and induced to willingly maintain themselves in this state, is to understand how the entire population is kept under control. Capitalism is an egalitarian religion, in the sense that it demands general submission, making everyone feel trapped—as all women are.

You have to ask the sparrow first, if you want any water from the tap. The sparrow, is in total control.
