We're down in Coney Island for the usual reasons: it's time to ride the Cyclone, and eat hot dogs and fries from Nathan's, and walk along the boardwalk - which is completely falling apart, what's up with that? - and to see Starshine Burlesque's installment of Burlesque on the Beach at the Freak Show.
As night falls, the landmark Parachute Jump is a skeletal dark tower by the sea. It's painted bright red, but you wouldn't know that in this light.
My first attempt was to build a Lego Micro Machine as close to the original size as possible. After somewhat limited success, I decided to do a larger one with the same proportions as the diminutive toys.
A member of 2 Scots mans a machine gun as members of 9 Parachute Squadron 23 Engineer Regiment construct the next phase of Route Trident.
This phase has seen them tackle a challenging piece of terrain known as the “Culvert of Doom” close to the Patrol base Nahidullah.
The road is being solidly constructed using carpet-like membranes, tough plastic neo cells and high quality aggregates and stone, which should hold together well despite heavy vehicles and harsh weather conditions.
Local people themselves are being employed to carry out some of the work which brings welcome cash into the area's economy.
The engineers have heavily committed to an operation to build across the Loy Mandeh. In the clear phase, the combat engineers provided explosive breaching to enable 2 Scots to break into insurgent strongholds. Holding work included the reinforcing of compounds, and the construction of Sangers.
Route Trident is now being extended across the Mandeh. The terrain is harsh and challenging; plenty of airborne initiative has been required.

The train station is closed following flood damage, but new vending machines were installed to greet passengers of the new busses that run the route during reconstruction.

I watched as this rainbow grew from a spec to a full bow within 10 minutes. I was going to head out tonight for a sunset, but stayed home and snapped many pics of this beauty from my back yard.
Enjoy.

About Rainbows
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch.
From the Pacific Coast Dream Machines 2011 show in Half Moon Bay. This is a custom 1940 Cadillac coupe limosine by John Gimelli. What a beauty!

Pataphysical Studios is building a Time Machine for our next art exhibit. On a balmy spring afternoon, Drs. Rindbrain and Fabio created more visualizations of what the Time Machine might look like.
We sketched out several ideas for the inside and outside walls, for discussion purposes. On each side of the main screen, we designed round portholes through which we could interact with our guests -- or show scenes from the past or future. Behind each porthole would be a magic box that could feature artifacts from distant times -- or the head of a historical figure, projected onto a ‘life cast’. The rest of the inside walls would be used for other interactive artworks such as the Crazy Clock, which sings quotes about time when you press its big green button.
On the outside walls, we sketched out a Face Box that you could stick your head in to get your picture taken. It would include an Infinity Mirror made of LED strips cycling through the colors of the rainbow, with a camera at the end of this light tunnel. We also sketched out where time wonderboxes could be placed on the side walls, proposing that the left wall focus on the past and the right wall on the future. A graphic timeline across both walls could support that idea.
It was a productive meeting and we look forward to presenting these ideas to our fellow doctors at the next Time Machine meeting.
Fire in the hole!

The minisuper in La Máquina, a town outside Santa Bárbara, Costa Rica. The town is called The Machine because it was home to a huge coffee mill where family growers processed their crops.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted in Bognor on Thursday the 22nd. September 1904 to:
Miss G. Moore,
c/o Mrs. Tanner,
Royal William Yard,
Stonehouse,
Devon.
The brief message on the divided back was as follows:
"just arrived here.
A lovely stay.
With love,
N."
The Bathing Machine
Note the bathing machines on the beach.
The bathing machine is a Victorian device that declined in popularity in the first decade of the 20th. century when mixed gender bathing became acceptable.
The machine allowed people (especially women) to enter the water without being seen in their bathing costume by the opposite sex. How times have changed!
There are two modern close-up coloured views of a preserved bathing machine on the pepandtim photostream - if you do a tags search, the codes 54BML98 and 34EAS32 will get you there.
Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is a seaside resort in West Sussex on the south coast of England, 55.5 miles (89 km) south-west of London.
The resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th. century on what was a sandy, undeveloped coastline. It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sanditon.
The resort grew slowly in the first half of the 19th. century, but grew rapidly following the coming of the railway in 1864.
In 1929 the area was chosen by advisers as a suitable place for King George V to recuperate, which led to its regal suffix, by royal consent.
Butlin's has been present in the town since the early 1930's when an amusement park and zoo were opened. A holiday camp followed in 1960, and this has more recently moved towards hotel accommodation with modern amenities.
The First Female Flight Attendant
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 22nd. September 1904, Ellen Church was born in Cresco, Iowa. She became the first female flight attendant.
After graduating from Cresco High School, Church studied nursing, and worked in a San Francisco hospital. She was a pilot as well as a registered nurse.
Steve Stimpson, the manager of the San Francisco office of Boeing Air Transport (BAT), would not hire her as a pilot, but did pass along her suggestion to put nurses on board aeroplanes to calm the public's fear of flying.
In 1930, BAT hired Church as head stewardess, and she recruited seven others for a three-month trial period.
The stewardesses, or 'Sky Girls' as BAT called them, had to be registered nurses, 'Single, younger than 25 years old; weigh less than 115 pounds [52 kg]; and stand less than 5 feet, 4 inches tall [1.63 m]'.
In addition to attending to the passengers, they were expected to, when necessary, help with hauling luggage, fuelling and assisting pilots to push the aircraft into hangars. However, the salary was good at $125 a month.
Church became the first stewardess to fly. On the 15th. May 1930, she embarked on a Boeing 80A for a 20-hour flight from Oakland/San Francisco to Chicago, with 13 stops and 14 passengers.
Death of Ellen Church
The innovation was a resounding success - the other airlines followed BAT's example over the next few years, but an injury from an automobile accident terminated Church's career after 18 months.
A horse riding accident ended her life on the 22nd. August 1965.

Ose - dual axe kusarigama
snarky but wise. inflicts delirium on enemies. the longer Ose is in combat, the stronger the effect. currently in possession of the scrapy pirate vorox girl.
Lewis Machine Gun. American invention which the US Army rejected in 1912. Taken to Europe, it gained acceptance and was in production at the start of World War I. Used by most of the human race, except for the Vatican. The US Army adopted it when the US entered World War I. Used in both world wars. Last time used in combat in the 1990s.
The Indiana World War Memorial is a monumental building, modeled after the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, conceived in 1919 to honor the veterans of World War I. It houses a military museum which I visited on October 25, 2019.

This was a freshly forged batch of Machine Plate Cuffs that were out for sale at the River Arts Festival in Memphis, 2016.
This milling machine grinds up and removes asphalt from the street as it moves forward. An entourage of other equipment follows behind to clean, prepare and resurface the gaping track left by the milling process.
