Most likely March 9, 1997. This is the photo of myself and George "Pinky" Nelson. Yes, a Target opening is probably the most strangest place to meet an astronaut.
I got to Menlo Park early and asked where Nelson was signing. The store staff started to respond, then looked at me and asked if I was him. Obviously, they hadn't read his bio because Nelson has blue eyes and blond hair....
.... Looks like it's been added to what appears to be a mid 19th century wall (1850's?) especially the lower section (top added much later). The top section shows a distinct lack of skills by the builders.

George looking out across the pond. As you may have noticed there are several pictures of George in this spot! I wonder why?

OK... Am I imagining it, or does this statue look like George Bush? This was along the riverfront in St Louis.

George came to C.A.R.E.S. on February 19, 2010, a month or two after his owners had moved and abandoned him in the dead of winter.
Realizing that George was left behind, a kind neighbour began to feed him, but could not take him in due to having cats of her own who did not take to George at all. When the really cold weather hit, she allowed George to stay in her laundry room temporarily, but then had to release him back outside. She didn’t see George for several days until one day he returned, and what she saw made her break down and cry.
George was a mess. His head was covered in nasty wounds and he obviously needed medical help right away. Remembering that a friend of hers volunteered for C.A.R.E.S., she called her and was put in touch with Lauralee Porter. Upon hearing the story, she instructed the lady to bring George to the C.A.R.E.S. vet A.S.A.P. and she rushed him in that same day.
When Dr. Bath saw George, he said that it was one of the worst cases of abscess he had ever seen. He suspected George had come in contact with a raccoon and was lucky to be alive! He was quite a sight with drains coming out of the side of his face and nose. Finally, George was released into the care of the shelter where he completed the rest of his recovery and transformed into the beautiful boy we know today.
Due to ongoing medical issues, C.A.R.E.S. has been George’s home for the past six years. He’s what we refer to as a “lifer”. George has become a purrsonal friend of Lauralee’s and they often sit and cuddle—she holding him as he wraps his arms around her neck. He purrs, gives kisses, seems to be happy—and you can’t ask for much more than that!

15c Church of St George Tombland Norwich , Norfolk - One of 2 mediæval churches dedicated to St George in the city. Tombland is old english for "empty land or space". It was originally called St. George at the Monastery Gates, and was a rectory given to the college of St. Mary in the Fields in Norwich,
Bequests for the building of the tower date from early 15c as is the nave & chancel. The north porch, north aisle and later the south aisle following ending with the south porch. Built of flint rubble, the nave clerestory stands out as it is of brick, a high-status material when it was added in 17c when the top of the tower was repaired..
Unrestored until the late 1880s, it still retains a lot of its Georgian furnishing - the south porch was re-faced at this time and bears no relation to its original appearance www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/9j1t88
William Bridge, vicar in 1633 held very strong Puritan views, and the church became a centre for extreme Protestant preaching. He was ejected in 1638, and went to Rotterdam. Returning to England in 1642, he ministered at Yarmouth until 1660, and founded what is now the Old Meeting Congregational Chapel.

Standing statue of George Washington in his younger years when he was a major. He is wearing a long overcoat, trousers and tall boots. He is holding his hat in one hand and his musket in his other. The bronze sculpture was sculpted by Susan Luery in 2007-2008. The statue is standing on a stone base with plaques commemorating different times George Washington was in the Cumberland area.
Inscription of plaques:
1748
At the age of sixteen, George Washington first visited Allegany County, (then Frederick County), and was the guest of Thomas Cresap, at Oldtown. He had been employed by Col. Wm. Fairfax to survey the valleys of Patterson Creek and the South Branch of the Potomac, part of the vast tract of land of which Fairfax was proprietor
1753
In order to settle a territory dispute between England and France over land in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Virginia governor Dinwiddie ordered Major Washington to Wills Creek (Cumberland), then on to Fort Leboef (near Erie, Pa.) to deliver an order of withdrawal of the French from English-claimed territory. The French refused to leave, asserting possession by prior claim.
1754
Washington, now a Lt. Colonel, was ordered to lead a company of Virginia militia to the Forks of the Monongahela and Allegany Rivers to build and defend a fort. New of a takeover of the site by the French compelled Washington to convene a War Council at Wills Creek. It was decided to lead his company on, finally engaging the French at Fort Necessity. A superior French army defeated the Virginia militia, allowing the survivors to return East.
1755
Responding to the refusal to accept the British claim, English Gen. Edward Braddock was ordered to America. Washington was assigned to his staff. The British expeditionary force assembled on this site. French defenders at Ft. Duquesne (Pittsburgh) prepared an ambush which succeeded in defeating the British force. Braddock was mortally wounded. The survivors were led back to Ft. Cumberland by George Washington
1758
With a new Prime Minister in England, Wm. Pitt, a new effort was launched to conquer Fort Duquesne. General John Forbes was assigned as Commander. Virginia militia was mustered here at Fort Cumberland and command by Colonel Washington. His troops joined Forbes at Raystown, (Bedford, Pa), then marched to defeat the French at Ft. Duquesne, which was renamed Ft. Pitt.
President Washington's Last Visit - 1794
On October 16, 1794, President George Washington arrived in Cumberland to review about 5,000 troops of the Maryland and Virginia militia gathered here during the Whiskey Rebellion. A few days later, this militia army assembled upon the parade ground of old Fort Cumberland, where the Allegany County Courthouse now stands. The President appeared dressed in his full military uniform, and the entire population of the town was present to witness the historic event. General Washington rode along the line from right to left, and was loudly cheered by the men. Afterwards the command marched in review, and Washington raised his hat as a salute, while they passed. Generals Harry Lee and Daniel Morgan also were present and participated.
The university library by Basil Spence dominates the south side of the square.
George Square was laid out by James Brown in 1766 as a residential square of Georgian terraced houses for the affluent and upwardly mobile. Like many Edinburgh squares built later in the New Town, it was centred on a garden area for residents.
Much of the square was redeveloped in the post Second World War period under Basil Spence's plans commissioned by the university.
See: canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/122519/details/edinburgh+ge...
The main library underwent a £60m redevelopment project which has been completed. Read more about it in this archived article from Celsius: libraryarchitecture.wikispaces.com/University+of+Edinburg...
Christmas was friends and family .... all day! Lots of food and fun ... plenty of ping-pong in the basement ...
A "Steal a Gift" round after the gift exchange! This little game ... you draw numbers and then each person picks a present from the "Steal a Gift" pile or another person in order of the number picked. You can also trade anytime. It was a lot of fun ...
Hopeful every one had a super Christmas!Auto Tagged By Tagnics
The Roman Catholic Bamberg Dom St. Peter & St. Georg, 9 May 2016. Founded 1002 as a church by the soon-to-be Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II, elevated to a cathedral in 1007 and completed 1012. The original cathedral was partially destroyed by fire 1081 and was rebuilt 1102-39. In 1185 it was again badly damaged by a fire and rebuilt 1215-37. In the 17th Century it received a Baroque facade which was removed in the early 19th Century and replaced by a neo-Romanesque one 1828-37. It is a double apsed cathedral, the east one symbolising the Holy Roman Empire and dedicated to St. George, the western symbolising the Papacy and dedicated to St. Peter. Due to the long construction/rebuilding period, the architectural styles change from Romanesque to Transitional to Gothic and neo-Romanesque. Pictured is the east apse and choir, with the tomb of Heinrich II and Kunigunde in the centre.

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
History of the 41st Regiment of Foot Fife & Drum Corps
The young men who served the English Crown during the 18th and 19th century as fifers and drummers were disciplined, courageous and held positions of responsibility. Sons of soldiers, they were old enough to take on a role in the regiment and its daily functions. It was up to these professional musicians to act as a communication system and as musical entertainment for the army. They played music to inspire the men, remind them of home, and to help them deal with the hardships of military life.
As duty drummers (a name used both for fifers and drummers), they took turns on a 24-hour guard shift and were expected to know and be able to beat play any Order at any time. Incompetence was not tolerated. They beat performed their duty calls every day, starting with Reveille to wake the garrison, and ending with the Taptoo to warn that the gates of the garrison were to close for the night.
41st Regiment of Foot Band of Music s a unique musical program , which focuses on the more popular, social music of the 18th and early 19th centuries. A Band of Music could be made up of officers, soldiers or civilian musicians, who provided entertainment for the upper classes through concerts, plays and dances. This music was quite different from the repertoire of the Fife and Drum Corps, whose main purpose was to act as a form of communication on the battlefields.
