The Key West NAS Radar Site (1962-Active) is a Cold War Air Force Radar Station first established in 1962 near Key West, Florida and named after its location. This site was incorporated into the BUIC I system as a NORAD Control Center. Initially assigned a Sage ID of Z-209 and later a JSS ID of J-07 with the shutdown of the remaining vacuum tube SAGE System direction centers in 1983. The 1983 FYQ-93 computer systems installed in the ROCCs remained in service until they were replaced in 2007 in a transition to the current Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F). With the upgrade to the BCS-F system, the number of control centers was reduce and the station became an active FAA Radar Site.
In October 1962 the Cuban Missile crisis began with the installation of Russian missiles on Cuban soil. A series of escalations put the United States and Russia at the edge of war with a U.S. embargo on shipping into Cuba. During this period all U.S. Radar sites were on high alert and the Key West NAS Radar Site provided surveillance over much of western Cuba and coverage of southern Florida. The missile crisis was averted but it had demonstrated the need for radar coverage of this critical area.
A U.S. Army Hawk missile battery was deployed on the Key West NAS during the missile crisis and data was shared with them. The Army AADCP site was designated KW-18DC.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
A big Undersea Base obviously has a lot of machinery to monitor, so it needs a big control room. Chuck Chihuahua is keeping an eye on things.

Two Kookaburra's sitting on the handle of an old mower in my garden. Love the way the one on the left seems to be in control of the throttle. I had to edit out the background as it was very distracting.

A return visit to the snow factory with Sshhhh... , Luckypants and Easy Tigger. Digging further in we find this old control room, still powered and controls lit, caked in layers of dust and soda ash with eerie high voltage humming ambience
Tussock in the vicinity of Mount Ngauruhoe.
Exclusion plot on Island Saddle in the South Island of New Zealand. The enclosure prevents herbivory by introduced mammals resulting in a higher recruitment of tussocks within the plot.
Tussock grasslands form expansive and distinctive landscapes in the South Island and to a lesser extent in the central plateau region of the North Island of New Zealand. Most of the plants referred to as tussocks are in the genera Carex, Chionochloa, Festuca, and Poa.
Many species have long roots that may reach 2 meters (6.6 ft) or more into the soil, which can aid slope stabilization, erosion control, and soil porosity for precipitation absorption. Also, their roots can reach moisture more deeply than other grasses and annual plants during seasonal or climatic droughts. The plants provide habitat and food for insects (including Lepidoptera), birds, small animals and larger herbivores, and support beneficial soil mycorrhiza. The leaves supply material, such as for basket weaving, for indigenous peoples and contemporary artists.
