In America now, we are very lucky indeed. We've had three different vaccinations (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson) available to all people 12 and over for enough time for everyone to be fully vaccinated and yet we're still hovering around 50% for our vaccination rate and now the Delta variant is really causing some breakthrough infections of those already vaccinated and, of course, killing many people who are not vaccinated. In the midst of this, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) decided to apply some sort of bizarre honor system where only people who were unvaccinated would have to be masked indoors, which absolutely doesn't work because the same people who are anti-mask are the same people who are anti-vax. And, for the spaces and places that would enforce the vaccination, there's a whole industry now of fake vaccination cards people can show so they can continue to risk their lives and others.
At the end of the day, the people in my country just don't realize how good they have it and fall prey to spoiled entitlement and/or conspiracy theories. The cognitive dissonance required to still believe Coronavirus is a hoax even after our previous president, (demon Trump) actually contracted it is baffling and completely illogical.
Meanwhile, our leaders continue to fail us, ignoring the new Delta strain's capabilities to be spread easier outdoors easier, to be spread even within a vaccinated population because of a viral load 1000x that of the original strain, and because it only takes a couple of minutes or less vs. 15 minutes of exposure. So while our hospitals are getting filled up here in this country yet again, we're still having stadiums filled to capacity and large music festivals.

DHL International GmbH (DHL) is a German international courier, package delivery and express mail service, which is a division of the German logistics firm . The company delivers over 1.5 billion parcels per year. The company was founded in the United States in 1969 and expanded its service throughout the world by the late 1970s. In 1979, under the name of DHL Air Cargo, the company entered the Hawaiian islands with an inter-island cargo service using two DC-3 and four DC-6 aircraft. Dalsey and Hillblom personally oversaw the daily operations until its eventual bankruptcy closed the doors in 1983. At its peak, DHL Air Cargo employed just over 100 workers, management and pilots. The company was primarily interested in offshore and intercontinental deliveries, but the success of FedEx prompted their own intra-US expansion starting in 1983. In 1998, Deutsche Post began to acquire shares in DHL. It reached controlling interest in 2001, and acquired all outstanding shares by December 2002. The company then absorbed DHL into its Express division, while expanding the use of the DHL brand to other Deutsche Post divisions, business units, and subsidiaries. Today, DHL Express shares its DHL brand with business units such as DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain. It gained a foothold in the United States when it acquired Airborne Express. The DHL Express financial results are published in the Deutsche Post AG annual report. In 2016, this division's revenue increased by 2.7% to €14 billion. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 11.3% over 2015 to €1.5 billion.
The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet. The 777 was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's 767 and 747, and to replace older DC-10s and L-1011s. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, with a first meeting in January 1990, the program was launched on October 14, 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype was rolled out on April 9, 1994, and first flew on June 12, 1994. The 777 entered service with the launch customer, United Airlines, on June 7, 1995. Longer range variants were launched on February 29, 2000, and were first delivered on April 29, 2004. 65685
Pfizer drew me out to just about the most remote suburbs of western Amsterdam near the airport, to the emergency location of the health services of the city made necessary by the large number of those expected to be vaccinated against Covid-19. So I thought I'd take a look around in Osdorp and its adjoining polders before the Jab.
The main photo shows the wetness of the entire area; much of which is now a nature reserve. Today it's drained by electrical pumps, of course. But in 1674 dry feet here depended on wind energy, and one of the windmills that served as a pumping station for some of the polders between Halfweg (from Amsterdam to Haarlem) was this mill called 1100 Roe Mill or latterly the Ookmeermolen. The first name recalls the distance of the mill from Amsterdam's Haarlem Gate (=about 4 km.). When the city expanded in 1951, the mill lost its function and was carefully deconstructed and rebuilt at Osdorp in 1965. Today instead of pumping water out ultimately to Het IJ it is used to keep the sports fields - you can just see them in the distance in the inset - pleasantly moist, pumping water in.
Huntsman Pigments Corporation's (Venator Materials / Pfizer) Easton Pennsylvania plant. This factory officially closed in late 2017, at which time the remaining 80 employees all lost their jobs. During its vacancy, the factory was relatively well watched by guards who would sit in a security shack out front and stare at a monitor relaying footage from various security cameras positioned around the exterior of the property. What made this factory interesting is that many of the buildings dated back to the late 1800s and were connected by tunnels. Many portions of the complex had been abandoned for decades prior to the official 2017 closure. Numerous signs were posted on doors that read "Do Not Enter Abandoned Area"; of course all these doors were unlocked and lead to some pretty interesting areas of the factory, including some funky 1970s era laboratories.
Over the course of its 100+ year existence, this factory was used to develop and produce rust colored pigments, which resulted in everything in the factory being coated and stained with this nasty red powdery material. After exploring this property I can recall my boots being stained so red that I contemplated throwing them out. In early 2020 the pigment plant was sold to a developer and over much of 2021, the buildings were demolished. There's still a few small structures left standing, but the property is well over 90% gone. I suspect it will be turned into unaffordable housing or maybe a Wawa next to a couple more Wawas. Regardless, an environmentally positive demolition, as often chemicals were discharged into the adjacent Bushkill Creek, turning the river water a deep brownish red, resulting in mass fish kills. During demolition it was discovered that a second small creek was actually buried beneath the factory and enclosed within a cement tunnel.
One day I will get around to posting my full set from this factory, it was a relatively neat and untouched industrial location to roam around. With its demolition now nearly complete, the physical remnants of the Lehigh Valley's once rich industrial past continue to erode away. However, on a more positive note, directly across from the Huntsman Pigment Factory exists the Simon Silk Mill, a once abandoned wasteland which has been completely restored into various storefronts and upscale apartments. I was happy to see that the silk mill buildings were preserved with much of their original charm intact, even the powerplant remains!
Today is vaccination day at my local doctor. Plaster for after the shot actually was waiting for some information, and just took 3 or four shots in mixed indirect light from outside.
Due to the short notice, when and what medicine, and the amount of vaccine they will receive, they schedule two days a week for this process.
But this is only the half-truth, typically the amount of vaccine will be announced on Thursday, Friday and Mondays are for scheduling, Tuesday and Wednesday for the shots. Monday - Friday is for answering questions. That’s the way with Corona or Covid-19 these days.
Not enough vaccines from Bionotech, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and others, then there are huge vaccination centers, and at the moment there are more daily doses at your local doctor or companies inhouse medical service

History of a different kind launched from my home airport this morning...
Distribution of an approved COVID-19 vaccination has begun.
Leaving a Pfizer production facility in the early-morning hours of Sunday, Dec. 13, the first doses of a promised vaccine for the Coronavirus left Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Mich. on their way to recipients across all 50 states.
The wife and I got Moderna the first time around. We both had serious reaction to 2nd shot, so we decided to get the Pfizer booster. Happy to report that I feel great right now.
As part of my 1 day a week research contract with the Dental Hospital, I have 1-2-1 teaching/meetings. Therefore I was advised to take up the staff vaccination roll out. I had my Pfizer jab this afternoon. Security was intense and my ID was checked 3 times. Just need Sandy to get hers next. BTW no after effects

I am dedicating these photos to the scientists at Pfizer who made it possible for me to get back to doing the things I love. These are the highlights of my first visit to the local collectibles mall in over a year.
The nearest antique shop, in the hamlet of Klipsan, has a tantalizing display of objects of local historical interest. It's tantalizing because none of the items are for sale.
This vintage plate is from the era when visitors traveled to the North Beach Peninsula from Portland on the steam paddlewheeler T. J. Potter. Holidaygoers would disembark at Meglar on the Washington side of the Columbia river, then transfer to the Ilwaco Rail and Navigation Company's train for the trip north to Long Beach and Ocean Park.

The T.J. Potter was a paddle steamer that operated in the Northwestern United States. The boat was launched in 1888. Her upper cabins came from the steamboat Wide West. This required some modification, because the T.J. Potter was a side-wheeler, whereas the Wide West had been a stern-wheeler. The boat's first owner was the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The T. J. Potter was one of the few side-wheeler boats that operated on the Columbia River.
The T.J. Potter, commonly referred to as the Potter, was named after first the vice president of the Union Pacific Railroad's operations in the west.
She was built entirely of wood by the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, owned by John F. Steffan.
She was built for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.[1] She was launched at Portland, Oregon in 1888. She was propelled by two non-condensing steam engines, with 32" cylinders, each with an eight-foot stroke, and generating (together or singly is not certain) 1,700 horsepower.
Her single boiler and firebox were built in 1887 by the Pusey & Jones Company, of Wilmington, Delaware. The boiler was 32 feet (9.8 m) long with a diameter of 84 inches (2,100 mm). Her gross tonnage was 659 and her net tonnage was 589. As built, the Potter was 230 feet (70 m) long, with a beam of 35 feet (11 m), and depth of hold of 101⁄2 feet.[2] Her U.S. registry number was 145489.[1]
Construction of the Potter was supervised by Capt. James William Troup, one of the most famous steamboat captains in the West, as well as the owner of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, the builders of the T. J. Potter. On May 26, 1888, the same year the Potter was built, Captain Troup had brought the sternwheeler Hassalo over a six-mile (10 km) stretch of rapids called the Cascades of the Columbia during low water, reaching speeds of 50 miles (80 km) an hour in the process.[3]
When built, the Potter had a reputation as one of the fastest and most luxurious steamboats in the Pacific Northwest:
[T]he T.J. Potter was the final step in the evolution of the side-wheeler—230 feet long, 33 feet (10 m) beam, with grace and beauty in every inch of her. The T. J. Potter was intended to be the last word in the elegance then incorporated into steamboat design. Even the paddle-wheels were decorated with intricate designs.
Where those of the lesser side-wheelers were pierced by simple fan designs, hers were jigsawed into an intricate floral pattern that made them works of Victorian art.
A divided, curving staircase led up to the grand saloon, and her passengers could observe themselves ascending it in the plate glass mirror, which was the largest in that part of the West. Colored sunlight from the stained glass windows of the clerestory gleamed on soft carpeting and the mellowed wood and ivory of a grand piano.[4]
Operations on the Columbia River
The first season after she was launched, her owners put her on the tourist run from Portland to Astoria, Oregon. In August 1888, the Potter made the run from Portland to Astoria in 5 hours and 31 minutes.[2]
By comparison, the fastest steamboat on the Columbia River at that time was the Potter's competitor Telephone, which on July 2, 1887, had made the 105-mile (169 km) run from Portland to Astoria in 4 hours and 34 minutes.[5]
Fares were $2.50 to Astoria and $3.00 to Ilwaco, Washington. Discounts were offered for the roundtrip.
Lower berths cost $.75 and a single berth cost $.50. All meals also cost $.50.
Operations on Puget Sound

After that, she was transferred to Puget Sound to compete with another famous steamboat, the Bailey Gatzert, which was owned by the Seattle Steam Navigation and Transportation Company. The Bailey was a stern-wheeler, and did better in the Sound than the sidewheeler Potter, which rolled from side to side in swells, raising first one paddle wheel then the other out of the water.
Even so, the T.J. Potter was one of the fastest steamboats on Puget Sound, and is reported in 1890 to have bested the famous sternwheeler Bailey Gatzert in a race. The Potter was also reported to have set a record time of 82 minutes on the run from Seattle to Tacoma.[6] While operating out of Puget Sound, the Potter, along with many other local steamboats, helped fight the Great Seattle Fire of 1889:
The mighty T.J. Potter foamed up from Vancouver Island with a Canadian fire engine, the chief of the Victoria fire department, and 22 firemen. Fire was licking the docks so the Victoria fire company went to work where it landed.[4]
Return to Columbia River
Eventually the Potter was transferred back to the Columbia River for good. She was placed on the Portland-Astoria run, where she competed with steamboats owned by the Shaver Transportation Company. The Potter's owners, Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, struck an anti-competitive deal with Shaver Transportation, whereby the Shaver boats, including the Sarah Dixon, would stay off the Portland-Astoria route in return for a monthly subsidy from Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. Other competitors of the Potter on the Portland-Astoria run included Lurline and Georgiana.[5]
In 1901, Joe Turner was the captain of the T.J. Potter. Other crew at apparently the same time, but whose positions are uncertain, included Al Gray (Faber, cited below, identifies Gray as captain), Julius Oliver, James Healey, Harry O. Staples, Ed Scott, Fred Ware, Claude Cooper, Wendell Smith, and Henry Hoffman.[5]
1901 Rebuild

In 1901 the Potter was rebuilt, increasing her length by only a few feet but greatly increasing her weight. Her gross tonnage rose from 650 to 1017 tons, and her net tonnage from 590 to 826.[1][7] The increased weight cut several knots off her speed. Her wheelhouse was rebuilt, and instead of a flat roof, she had a dome with a flagpole. This was unique among Columbia River steamboats. The rebuild cost a total of $86,000.
Following the rebuild, the Potter's owners put her on the run from Portland to Ilwaco, Washington for connection with the narrow-gauge Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company, serving primarily the summer tourist trade.[8]
The Potter was refurbished in 1910, and continued in operation on the Portland–Ilwaco run.[8] In the early 1990s, Professor Frederick Bracher recalled riding on the Potter from Portland to Ilwaco as a young child in 1915:
The T.J. Potter was an old but comfortable sidewheel steamboat, ponderously slow, even when going downstream. Although it was later replaced by the Georgiana, a sleek and narrow twin-screw steamer, I preferred the T.J. Potter to the smaller and faster rival.
The monumental semi-circular paddle boxes, painted like the rays of the rising sun, arched up as high as the boat deck; the paddle wheels produced a prodigious wake to port and starboard, as well as astern. On the main deck were staterooms for the elderly, the rich, or the newly married; and a continuous seat ran all the way around the stern. If the weather was good, there would be deck chairs on the open afterdeck, and the glass-enclosed lounge cabins were comfortable on cold or rainy days.[9]
Just before the opening of the tourist season in 1916 the Potter was condemned for passenger use.[8] The Potter was not replaced[10] on the Portland–Ilwaco run, as there was insufficient passenger traffic to justify putting a new boat on the route.[8]
The Portland–Astoria route was continued until 1936, when heavy profit losses removed the Georgiana from service.
The Potter then served as a barracks boat for construction crews until Nov. 20, 1920, when her license was revoked.
She was abandoned on the northeast side of Youngs Bay near Astoria.
She was burned and salvaged for her metal shortly afterward.[5] Faber publishes a photograph showing her abandoned, stripped of upper works, but with her hull substantially intact, with large metal components such as her rudder strap intact. (Faber, at page 155).

Charles Pfizer born in 1824 in Württemberg came to America with his cousin Charles Erhart in 1848. Pfizer was a chemist and Erhart a grocer.
In 1849 Pfizer and Erhart started a chemical company near the Town of Williamsburgh in what is now New York City's Borough of Brooklyn. They took over an existing red brick building at Harrison Ave and Bartlett Street.
In 1849 the Pfizer company rolled out its first product — a product made from santonin to treat intestinal worms.
