Following the successful deployment of the Forge Class Battle Cruisers, the New Coalition found itself well position as peacekeepers. Peace, however, is often fleeting. A dissenting faction opposed to all forms of centralized government sprung up in the outer system of Conteruim. The Teriums as they become known retrofitted a number of older vessels with thick armor and multi directional weaponry. While the Battle Cruiser's Centurian weaponry was able to penetrate the armor plating, its line-of-sight design made engaging multiple Terium vessels difficult. To combat the Terium tactics, the New Coalition developed a new ship, the Forge Class Destroyer, equipped with direction port and starboard Crusader MARC cannons capable of eviscerating the armored Terium turtles with greater efficiency. The Destroyer also carried a larger complement than the Forge Class Battle Cruiser including heavy bombers or the ability to house a Kiltrip defender inside the Destroyer if bombers were not required on mission. The Destroyer also modified the hangar configuration as compared to the Anvil Class Carriers and the Battle cruiser to allow for hot take-offs and landings from a forward facing hangar opening.
St Mary's Lighthouse, Whitley Bay
Winter tides continuously batter the range finder that is located on the back of St Mary's Lighthouse in North Tyneside.
When it was completed in 1910, the Dominion Trust Building was the first steel-framed building in Vancouver, and the tallest commercial structure in the British Empire. It's one of the few Beaux-Arts style buildings in the city.
No 66 Wellington St W and No 222 Bay St are part of the six building Toronto Dominion Centre complex in the heart of the city's financial district.

Project 365, 2022 Edition: Day 200/365
Our friend Dave introduced us to the deck-building card game Dominion in early 2020, because he lives alone, and it was one we could adapt to play over Skype or Zoom. Two can play. Danny and I became addicted. It carried us through the monotony of lockdowns. Besides basic treasures and victory cards, only 10 distinctive kingdom cards are selected to use in each game, making every game remarkably different. The base set is entertaining enough, but expansions are available. We have acquired five of them. The newest one, Dominion: Allies, was released this spring.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The Federal Building in Kitchener is located between two small parks on Queen and Frederick Streets. The rectangular, modern classical structure is constructed of stone- clad concrete and features a central section with two projecting entry bays framed within classical pilasters and entablatures. The vertical thrust of the windows is balanced by a horizontal emphasis given by layers of stone that recede to the roofline. Sculpted bronze panels are located in window apertures between storeys. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.

The dream I had last night.
Channelling Duchamp, there’s an idea. Sure, Stubbs would be there too, but in this case, it was a dream I had about a painting I did for the de Menil family in Galveston, Texas (1987 or so). I mentioned it before, that 40ft X 20ft jobby of the commedia dell'arte, in front of the Basilica St. Marco, with the horses, or one of them, being lowered from the pediment above the main doors atop the cathedral. Anyway, I woke up remembering it, and decided to make a visual note, a record of the dream. It’s one of the gifts of this new technology, that being able to represent dreams, or come close to them, capture them somehow. Nothing your subconscious throws up needs to be wasted, if you are diligent, and have that strange woolly woo-wooness that suggests that these might be worth ferreting away on Flickr. Of course they don’t matter, but sometimes I put them down to see if they inspire, or prompt, something else.
The post-op grumbling is still going on in my gut as it heals itself, throwing up the occasional wobbler. A friend suggested yesterday that I might have a high pain threshold, having given up the painkillers two days after the operation. There didn’t seem to be that much pain to me, and the ‘cure’ was causing terrible indigestion, so I stopped them all. Ten days later and it continues improving. No, I don’t feel I have been brought low, other than the indignity of being opened and entered, which was something I never wanted again, one of the blessings of my anti-testosterone regime. I like being inviolate. But hey ho, they knock you out, so it was as if it never happened, other than the scar and discomfort. If that childhood invasion had been similarly sedated, I am sure it wouldn’t have caused all the problems it did. Dying under complete sedation sounds very acceptable, but then I suppose that is what their euthanasia is here, but then I have the feeling that this turns the whole nation into somnambulants, uninspired ones to boot, zombies even.
Sleeping better sounds good, and dreams don’t have to be big. As I said, I loved your word poems, your pages you like to denigrate, to a degree, presenting them and their unimportance at the same time. I have sort of discovered that we all present our own madness, which often doesn’t communicate completely (if at all) outside our heads. I have learnt that it is ‘important to me’, and that’s enough. There is this vague ‘somebody will get it after I am gone’, perhaps narcissistic, leftover there, a slight murmur, but mostly I don’t care. I, we, our generation, will be dead then anyway, so ho hum to all that too.
I love the story of ‘Infrathin’. It’s utterly resplendent with hope, choc-o’block with godless salvation, getting to float through infinity as dust breeding, and congealing into everything, or non-thing else.
No, Nora has no reason to be jealous. She knows James well enough, and one is not suggesting a love affair between Marcel and James, or Rrose and James, or Dolly and Ja….
The whole shebang is happening in Infrathin, after all. ‘In fact’, it all happened over the course of one weekend, in a hotel room in Dublin in 1918, when Marcel led James into Infrathin for the first time. That starts with ‘The Lancing Cure’. Ostensibly they were looking for a cure for James’ syphilis in Infrathin. What in our timescale might take up a second, or minute, or day, can represent a lifetime in Infrathin. In other words, a journey, a ‘trip’ that takes a short break in that hotel room, could become a month, year or lifetime spent with Goya in Madrid, or Caligula in Rome, or in some pre-history past with dinosaurs, or far-flung exploded ‘alien’ future. There is no telling where you will land, or even what form you might take, sentient or otherwise. You might even land as a sheep, or a boulder.
James, of course, quickly learns that finding a cure for syphilis is not necessary, or a cure for anything for that matter.
Marcel had the last laugh, putting “It’s always the other guy who dies” on his tombstone. He knew what he was saying.
Anyway, they form a confederacy of sorts on their yellow brick road escapades (in that silverfish infested hotel room). One of the most obvious and easiest lessons learnt was, of course, that there is no hierarchy in infinity, no pyramidal schemes, no apexes and no dominion, that all and everything is equal. I mean duh! From dust to dinosaurs, through small mammals, to humans , to post-apocalyptic cockroaches, exploding stars and whatnot, how could anyone miss the clues? Anyone, or anything.
Yes, Nora is there, she sometimes morphs into Molly, or Rrose, or Marcel, or Dolly, or Rack, or Thalia. But yes, she is also there as herself.
Get back in your stride. You are wondrous.
My granddaughter, Viola, and I spent a day in August 2017 riding roller coasters at Kings Dominion in Virginia.
The Dominator opened on May 24, 2008. Before being relocated to Virginia, It was Batman: Knight Flight at Six Flags Ohio.
It is the world's longest floorless coaster at 4,210 feet (1,280 m).
