Pebbel spends a lot of time on the kitchen divider wall. From here she can watch what's going on outside, what Toos is doing at the dinner table, or what I'm doing in the kitchen.
Our three ladies continue with their lives as if Sheba has never existed. All they miss are the left-overs he would frequently leave in his bowl. I still miss him every day and even though we have three cats left the house feels empty without him ...
Vanishing Point: The point at which something that has been growing smaller or increasingly faint disappears altogether
Restos del desembarco de Normandia durante la segunda guerra mundial. Los ranger escalaron hasta la cima utilizando cuerdas bajo el fuego de las fuerzas alemanas y conquistaron la cima. Poco después pudieron comprobar que los cañones no se encontraban allÃ, los alemanes los habÃan ocultado tierra adentro. El puñado de rangers supervivientes, localizaron e inutilizaron los cañones, aguantando dos dÃas las posición frente a repetidos ataques alemanes. Gracias a ellos, los buques americanos, canadienses y demás pudieron desembarcar en las playas de Normandia.

It'a a joke, of course, but at that time, human manure was still used as fertiliser.
The North Point Lighthouse (Wisconsin) has a long history of guiding mariners to Milwaukee Bay. Erected in 1887 and first lit in 1888, the 39-foot octagonal cast-iron tower replaced an 1855 cream city brick lightouse built too close to the eroding bluff. The Queen Anne style keeper's dwelling was built at the same time. In 1912, the tower was almost doubled to its present height of 74 feet by lifting the existing tower atop a new structure. This resulted in a light source 154 feet about the level of Lake Michigan visible up to 20 miles away. The United States Coast Guard took the light out of service in 1994. In 2003, the two-acre property was transferred to Milaukee County, the North Point Lighthouse Friends and Milwaukee County completed restoration of the light station in 2007.

Quick weekend trip to San Diego. My wife was invited to attend a stamp class, I hung out with my buddy and his son. We went to Cabrillo National Monument, home of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, the first on the west coast.
This sentinel to San Diego Bay, which stands on a cliff 422 feet above sea level, was completed in November of 1855, and retired in 1891.
In clear weather, it was visible from 25 miles out to sea -- but it was often obscured by fog, which obviously was a big problem for ships trying to enter the harbor.
The new Point Loma Lighthouse was moved to the bottom of the hill where its been shining bright for 117 years.
