The P-38 was used most extensively and successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations, where it was flown by the American pilots with the highest number of aerial victories to this date. America's top ace Richard Bong earned 40 victories (in a Lightning he called Marge), and Thomas McGuire (in Pudgy) scored 38. In the South West Pacific theater, it was a primary fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of P-51D Mustangs toward the end of the war.
Excerpt from President Obama's speech in Roanoke , Virginia on July 13, 2012
"...There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me, because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet...."
I don't want top start an argument but the owner of this business got no government handout, worked 16 hours a day, risked his whole financial future and health getting his business off the ground. The only government officials involved were the ones he had to pay for permits to to get started. It should be mandatory that all our officials work in the "real world" for a while before they go making comments like this.
Sorry for the diatribe but politicians really anger me when they make ridiculous comments like this. To be fair the stupid comments come from both parties. It's just easy for me to pick on this one because the government did make my job happen...you see... I am a tax accountant and without the government my job would be unnecessary.

“Numbers”
Why is it now that everything has to have a number associated with it these days?
Everything from how many people like your latest post on Facebook, to how many retweets you get on Twitter.
Another person gets shot in an american school means that gun crime is up so many percent, while another unemployed person gets a job so unemployment is down by whatever percent.
Does this actually add anything to Joe Bloggs day to day life or is it just another sound bite or useless piece of information that you can use when you're stuck for something to say down the pub?

There was something about the crackling effect on the numbers of this fishing boat in Steveston Harbour that drew me to photograph it.

I bought that wonderful ceramic bear today. He was sculpted by Finnish ceramic artist Viljo Heinonen in 1955.
A week or so back I uploaded a photograph of a Roe Deer leaping over a fence, and this one is the next in the sequence, having cleared the fence. I have posted the original one in the comments below for interest. Along with Red Deer, Roe is Britain's only other native deer. Roe deer have been hunted from prehistoric times. They became extinct in England, Wales and southern Scotland during the 18th century and populations were re-introduced to southern England (Dorset) and East Anglia in the 19th century. They have never occurred in Ireland. As they have become more abundant, they have been treated as pests because of damage to forestry and agriculture, and consequently numbers are controlled. Roe deer may now number as many as 500,000, and are increasing.
