I had a long transit in Singapore, so I jumped on the free 2 hour tour into the city. The first hour was waiting for the group to assemble and to get through security with special visas. Once on the bus we were served a lot of stuff that sounded suspiciously like good old propaganda. But the guide slipped once, which was a good one.
Driving past the university being told how fantastic, great and awesome it is -
Tourist lady: Is it free to study?
Guide: Nothing in Singapore is free! Only free bus tour!
Every year, the open air museum just outside of the small Danish town of Holbaek is transformed. Over the course of the day the Nazi's invade Denmark, the small open air museum/town undergoes years of occupation, and then eventually is liberated just before sunset.
All of the actors are incredible. The experience is immersive and leaves you with goose bumps. You have aircraft flying over head, the sound of machine gun fire, minorities being rounded up, SS officers marching in the streets.
To make the day even more meaningful, I was joined by a Danish friend and his grandmother who is 90. In her late teens during the invasion, she shared with me stories of the occupation as I picked her brain (through my friend as I don't speak Danish and she doesn't speak English).
Afterwards we retired to his Great Aunt's house where they shared additional stories and pulled out old ration cards, shared my friend's father's resistance armband, and chatted with me about how Denmark has changed since they were children.

The McDonnell LBD-1 Gargoyle was an American air-to-surface guided rocket missile developed during World War II. Produced from 1944 and tested until 1947. Never saw combat. I don't see why they put insignias on these things, but they did.
At the New Mexico Space Museum, located on a hill just east of Alamogordo, New Mexico. This state celebrates having played a pivotal role in the development of rocketry, both for science and for war. I visited this place on February 26, 2016.

Corregidor Tour by a former Guide, 26th Dec. 2021.
I posted these 192 images of that tour that only a knowledgeable person about Corregidor may get an idea how Corregidor looks like now, on the 26th Dec. 2021. The pictures were not edited nor have descriptions.
Here are some of my observations:
Mr. Marianito Malacaman (He said, call him Mart), a licensed guide, organized this Corregidor Tour via Facebook messenger. We met in Cabcaben. 6 people signed up including me. We used Villa Carmen boats. Because of the virus, the boats only load 50% capacity, so two boats had to be hired. The guide told me he paid 4K peso for each boat. We parked at the Villa Carmen Beach, we were 3 PUVs. Another group beat us to the boats; only 2 boats were available, so we had to wait our turn. No problem, Mart had the trolley and only driver reserved, so the first group had to wait for us and we used a trolley jointly and shared the cost. There was no driver for the only van on Corregidor (cheaper) and we were prepared to pay the higher cost of the trolley, so things worked out for both parties. The North Channel had the typical NE wind and swells, so going over no problem, coming back we got wet.
I paid 2700 for everything, the boat, the trolley, the entrance fee. Mac Arthur Café is closed, the former proprietor works there now as an employee and food arrangements have to made prior via the CFI office. Mart shared a hamburger with me; he had brought over, great guy! Overnights are available with prior arrangement at the MacArthur Café and one needs to discuss what one wants to eat, prior via the CFI Office. The power will stay on during the night with overnight guests, otherwise the power, right now, runs from 6pm to 9 pm. The Hotel is still closed. The CFI staff is reduced but many familiar faces are still there, the nurse, the cashier, the Mac Arthur Café entrepreneur, now an employee though. This was Sunday but saw maybe an 8 men sweeper crew.
The Philippine Navy and Marines have small detachments on the island, they will get relieved on the 27th Dec. so the teams don’t miss both Holyday seasons, and one guy said the detail lasts 3 month. Everybody on the island cares for their own food, bring, or get it yourself, Menard the boat food delivery from Bataan is still available but less often. Interestingly the Navy team had a monkey and was allowed to climb on people. The sailor said, they got it as a baby on Corregidor and it will go with them when relieved. Both outfits are located at the Bottomside south beach. The Coast Guard is still there, the roof is beginning to need repair. The roof over the outdoor area at Mac Arthur Café is hurting also.
I asked and Villa Carmen boats said, this month, so far they had 10 round trips, the Cabcaben Boat CoOp, I don’t know. The Coast Guard or Navy and another enterprise were over here, this month, but with their own transportation. Also I don’t know whether CFI with their 15 passenger craft had any trips this month, and remember they leave from the CCP in Manila now.
On this trip the guided tour was like normal and the pictures in the album are in sequence and tell you that everything on the tourist route looks the same as before. We skipped Battery Grubbs and Battery Crockett and did not get off the trolley at the Philippine Hero Memorial. The guide and I did sit down at the Mac Café while we waited for the boats when they took the first bunch back which had beat us to the punch today. I walked thru the chapel, it is beginning to hurt. The Malinta Hill Tunnel, we walked just into the west entrance and were cautioned about the rocks falling down sometime, outside the entrance.
I’m glad I made the trip and it helped me to prepare myself for my next trip in Feb. 2022. And I appreciate all the effort the tour guide Marianito Malacaman put into this and he travelled up here with his motorbike.

On May 31, more than 50 Southern Nevada wildland firefighters from BLM, U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service were joined by Mercy Air for medical extraction training exercises.
In the first scenario, two separate heat related injuries of a fellow firefighters were reported. And it couldn’t have happened on a more appropriate day as it was 106 degrees.
Firefighters worked together to provide shade to the patients, record vital signs, provide initial treatment, provide interventions by administering oxygen, hand carrying them and finally fully extracting them from the injury site when medical gear arrived.
In the second scenario, a fellow firefighter fell and reported no feeling below his waist. This time, air transport was requested, a helispot was created, the patient was carefully guided down a steep hill with full c-spine immobilization on a litter, a BLM helicopter landed, the patient was loaded into the BLM helicopter, and finally transferred and loaded into a MercyAir medical helicopter.
After both scenarios, an After Action Review was held to discuss the extractions and lessons learned.
Special thanks to Ian McQuery, Las Vegas Helitack’s Assistant Crew Supervisor, for spearheading the training!
Nikko guide pamphlet (cover). Not sure when this is from. This site says it is pre-war opac.nikkocity.jp/viewer/info.html?id=145
I like the illustration and the Kanji design on the cover (notice how the 日 gets "split"). It is also interesting to see how everything is written from right to left (even inside).

An amusing guided tour around a stately home that once was owned by Led Zeppelin.
The owner and tour guide was dancing around, getting most excited about geek gods and comparing society against the behaviour of his dogs, he preferred his dogs.
For my own amusement I cut his head off and left him hanging from the frame as though in noose.

Well, I’ve totally freaked out in this shot!
My mind told me to write this:
“this is a picture from a history book. Long time ago there was a war in a far away planet. The skeletons invaded the winged horses planet. There was a blue sea on this planet but the skeletons poisoned it and made it black and dead. All the other animals in the planet died because life was connected to the sea. Some winged horses survived and started to fight against the skeletons that were using one-horned horses like slaves in the battle. Without those horses the skeletons wouldn’t have been able to win but the one-horned horses couldn’t hear the winged ones telling them they were just slaves. They couldn’t know they were losing their freedom while killing that planet….”
Have a natural day my friends!
