Gehakkelde aurelia
In Nederland was de soort aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw een vrij algemene vlinder. Daarna nam het voorkomen af, zodat het dier in 1925 zeldzaam was en in het noorden in het geheel niet meer werd waargenomen. In de dertig jaar daarna namen de aantallen toe, om vervolgens in de jaren zestig weer af te nemen totdat de soort alleen nog in Limburg en Noord-Brabant werd waargenomen. De eerste helft van de jaren zeventig bracht weer een korte opleving. Sinds de jaren tachtig van de twintigste eeuw breidt het verspreidingsgebied van de gehakkelde aurelia zich snel noordwaarts uit. Inmiddels is Nederland vrijwel geheel gekoloniseerd en is de gehakkelde aurelia een algemene standvlinder.

Chopped aurelia.
In the Netherlands, the species was a fairly common butterfly at the beginning of the twentieth century. Thereafter, the occurrence decreased, so that in 1925 the animal was rare and was not seen at all in the north. In the following thirty years the numbers increased, and then decreased again in the 1960s until the species was only observed in Limburg and North Brabant. The first half of the 1970s brought another brief revival. Since the eighties of the twentieth century, the distribution area of the chopped aurelia has been expanding rapidly northwards. The Netherlands has now been almost completely colonized and the hackled aurelia is a common butterfly.

Last summer we took a roadie to New Mexico for a Celebration of Life in remembrance of my mom who passed away in July of 2020.
On the way back to SoCal we made a whirlwind through three National Parks; Mesa Verde, Bryce Canyon, and Arches.
We were on a pretty tight schedule so we didn't have the luxury of spending a great deal of time at any of them.
As luck would have it, it was later in the day and we didn't have to wait in the horrific lines that plagued Arches last summer as millions cooped up during the pandemic flooded to the National Parks in record numbers.
We only made one stop in the park; on The Windows Road where several arches are clustered.
This rainbow with the La Sal Mountains serving as a stunning background was an added bonus.
If you know your Spanish, I think you can probably tell how the range which is the second highest in the state of Utah, got its name.

Prof. Pangloss is about to measure the world from within his home. This world, he thinks, can be expressed in numbers - from the tiniest atom to the farthest galaxy. Once you know the right number, he thinks, there are no limits to our understanding. This world is measurable, he says, and made for us to understand it. Fuji X-Pro3 plus Pergear fish-eye 5.6/10.

A red letter day (sometimes hyphenated as red-letter day or called scarlet day in academia) is any day of special significance or opportunity. Its roots are in classical antiquity; for instance, important days are indicated in red in a calendar dating from the Roman Republic (509–27 BC).
In medieval manuscripts, initial capitals and highlighted words (known as rubrics) were written in red ink .
In the 1950s Hoffman was the sole importer of Porsche products into the U.S. He had told Ferry Porsche that Americans didn’t buy cars with numbers – only cars with names – and he suggested the 1955 models should all have names. He had already established this precedent with Porsche’s limited production America Roadster in 1952 and with the 1954 Speedster, a stripped-down, low-priced 356 roadster only offered in the U.S. at just $2,995.[1] For 1955 he convinced Porsche to badge the 356 coupes and cabriolets as the “Continental” to reflect their European origins. Perhaps Max Hoffman was channeling Edsel Ford. Interestingly, by the time Ford Motor Company noted their objections, Karosserie Reutter had already punched holes in about 200 sets of front fenders! The Pre-A coupes and cabriolets were already wearing the “Continental” nameplate. In addition, the earliest 356A models, introduced late in 1955, also had fenders punched with nameplate holes. The quick fix was a switch from the gold-colored Continental script to the name European on early 1956 models.
The so-called “Pre-A” designation was added later in Porsche history to distinguish the new cars introduced in October 1955 from earlier 356 coupes and cabriolets and the very first Speedster models built in 1954. The Pre-A cars (coupe and cabriolet) are actually more interesting to examine because of their unique styling traits, which differed noticeably from the 356A versions. One of the more distinguishing characteristics was the rear fender treatment, which had a wider, more graceful wheel arch, covering more of the tire. Other production changes that occurred during Pre-A production, particularly in 1952, included redesigning the bumpers, which were originally integrated into the body until October 1952 (1953 models) after which bumpers were separate pieces mounted through the body as seen on the 1955 Continental cabriolet pictured from the Barry and Glynette Wolk collection. The first use of separate bumpers was on the America in 1951-52. Other running changes included replacing the original split windshield with curved, one-piece glass beginning in March 1952, and dropping the temperamental 4-speed crash box for a new synchromesh transmission in 1953. The 1952 models were also among the first to come equipped with the more powerful 1500 Super motor (beginning in March 1952), upping displacement from 1.3 to 1.5 liters (91 cubic inches). The smaller VW-based 1100cc engines also remained available through the 1954 model year. The engines in the first production cars had been modified VW motors fitted with new aluminum cylinder heads. Porsche increased the flat four’s swept volume to 1488cc by lengthening the stroke 10mm and using a new die-forged Hirth[2] crankshaft. Bore x stroke were now 80 x 74mm, however, at 1.5 liters the VW engine had been taken as far as its design would permit. Porsche would have to begin building their own engines if they wanted to go beyond the 1.5 liter’s capacity. Chief engineer, Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, had already begun to tackle this problem in 1950 under the product designation Carrera, the Spanish word for race, which by the end of the decade was to become synonymous with the Porsche name.

Seeing recurring numbers is thought to be a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention. It’s a sort of signal from unseen forces that are attempting to shift your focus to important life matters that you need to address or work on. So if you often pause and take note of the time when the numbers are repeating it’s perfectly normal and it means that your higher self, spirit guides, or angels are trying to connect and get through to you. By the way ... 111 is a wake up call from the Universe....to pay attention to what's going on around you and who you are with. 222 is partners and relationships... pay attention to who is showing up in your world. 333 ... mind, body, soul.... check what's out of balance. Hmmmm.... interesting!! (LOL!)
