Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”
AT&T, CSX working hard to fix these gates that have been malfunctioning for at least a decade.
As of 30 June 2016 I did see as I passed by there are still CSX crews out there working.
This photo shoot taking place at The Hirshhorn reminds me of this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S_6pKRrVnM All of my photos were shot through the lobby window.
The SAR insignia consists of a Maltese cross surrounded by a garland, with a relief of George Washington in a center circle.
The cross's vertical bar represents the commandment "You Shall Love Your God"; the horizontal bar represents the commandment "You Shall Love Your Neighbor as Yourself." The four limbs are a reminder of the four cardinal virtues; its eight points represent eight spiritual injunctions:
To have spiritual contentment
To live without malice
To weep over your sins
To humble yourself at insults
To love justice
To be merciful
To be sincere and open-hearted
To suffer persecution

Did George Washington’s false teeth come from his slaves?: A look at the evidence, the responses to that evidence, and the limitations of history

George Washington’s false teeth were not wooden, as you may have heard. They were actually made from a variety of materials, including human teeth. According to the accounting record in Mount Vernon’s Ledger Book B, the teeth may have been pulled from Washington’s slaves. gwpapers.virginia.edu/george-washingtons-false-teeth-come...
Metrocall 311 was called on this small cave-in over a month ago. This is next to a bus stop. If there are any contractors out there with a few loads of dirt, feel free to drop some at the corner of Shelbyville & Juneau Road (right across from the Government Center & Police Station) so anyone walking through doesn't fall in and hurt themselves.

Pancake was very saddened to find only one fish on her 2 hour romp through this huge 4,000 acre park (Beckley Creek Park). The park surrounds a sewage treatment plant.
Editorial: Block the Asian carp with a concrete wall
host.madison.com/wsj/opinion/editorial/editorial-block-th...
Wildlife officials aren’t worried about voracious Asian carp invading the Wisconsin River north of Prairie du Sac because a large dam blocks their way.
A similar solution is needed in a shipping canal near Chicago so the invasive species doesn’t infest Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Specifically, the Brandon Road Lock near Joliet, Ill., should be shut down to separate the Mississippi River Basin from the Great Lakes, as nature intended.
The attorneys general of three Great Lakes states — Republican Bill Schuette of Michigan, Democrat Lori Swanson of Minnesota, and Democrat Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania — last week urged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Chicago to close the lock and replace it with a concrete structure.
That’s the most effective, least expensive and quickest solution to stopping the Asian carp from advancing farther north, the attorneys general correctly stressed.
Wisconsin officials should add their voices and clout to this bipartisan effort to protect the Midwest’s precious waterways.
Wisconsin was previously part of a lawsuit against the federal government seeking permanent closure of the Chicago canal, and it shouldn’t back down now.
Asian carp escaped decades ago from Southern fish farms and have been moving north ever since. In some northern Illinois waterways, Asian carp now make up 90 percent of the concentration of fish. With their large size and appetites, they crowd out and decimate the sport fish anglers love to catch, such as walleye and bass.
Even a relatively small number of Asian carp reaching Lake Michigan through the Chicago canal system could eventually spread across the Great Lakes. And the man-made canal leading from the Illinois River to Lake Michigan has shown vulnerabilities.
Electric shock barriers in the water have been breached by smaller fish, according to a federal study last year. And an adult bighead carp was caught last spring in the Chicago waterway well past the barriers and only 9 miles from Lake Michigan.
“In the absence of more effective action, they will move through the Brandon Road Lock and the Chicago waterway in sufficient numbers to ultimately invade the Great Lakes, causing devastating ecological and economic damage,” the attorneys general of Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania wrote last week to the Corps.
They’re right.
The Army Corps of Engineers has highlighted the potential cost to the shipping industry if products must travel over land rather than on barges in the canal. We understand that concern.
But the cost to the Great Lakes’ fishing and tourism industries would be much greater should Asian carp take over the world’s largest supply of fresh water.
The best solution is a permanent barrier that will stop the Asian carp for good.
Bumpers, fenders, side panels, etc.... all Ford parts. Can be seen along Chamberlain Lane, Collins Lane, Old LaGrange Road, Westport Road, Louisville, KY 40245. If they're there, they're yours! Must provide own transportation, labor. Please be mindful of the occasional snake that will hide under these - they are generally (most of the time) harmless and will leave...some choose not to, though.
The College Park Aviation Museum is located adjacent to the College Park Airport. The College Park Airport is the world’s oldest continuously operating airport established in 1909 when Wilbur Wright came and trained military officers to fly the government’s first aeroplane. The airport is known as the “Field of Firsts” which includes the first female passenger, first machine gun tested on an airplane, and the first controlled helicopter flight.
