And hey darling sipping that red wine,
All classy, kicked back on the couch.
You smile and I see ya shootin' tequila,
Us shuttin' them college bars down.
And no matter how much time goes by,
And no matter how much we grow up,
For worse or for better, from now 'til forever,
I'll always remember you young.

When I saw this butcher shop on Elizabeth street in NoLita I was quite saddened.I searched the story on line because I wanted to know what happened to this wonderful butcher and his business.
Moe Albanese,known to many as Moe the Butcher unfortunately died from COVID-19 back in April,just days short of his 96th birthday (see right window).I just broke down and cried when I read that.Moe's parents opened up the butcher shop in 1923.He learned the trade from his mother, his father was an immigrant from Sicily.Albanese took over the business in 1956.The meats he sold were of the highest quality and he generated a lot of customers through the years.As he grew old his granddaughter,Jennifer Prezioso,joined the business adding modern touches to the shop.They eventually had to close it due to the pandemic.His granddaughter posted updates on Moe's condition on her Instagram page when Albanese fell sick up until the moment he died.She also wrote a beautiful eulogy on his life on the page.

Remember Martin?
We bumped into each other again. In case your wondering, his doing fine, well much more than fine. A later picture will explain, I won't give too much any just yet.

Mist, sadly departed this summer gone, striking a pose ... she was good at that .. ontop of Whiteside
19 years ago today, the Twin Towers in New York City were brought down by terrorists who flew planes into the towers. Those of us who stopped their lives and their hearts that morning will never forget the sheer horror and disbelief we felt collectively as a nation..
I hope that remembering this dreadful moment in time will help to bring us all back together again in these troubling times we find ourselves in now.
Bless us all, Lord, bless us all.
We will remember them,
The ones who stood tall,
Who fought for their country,
The ones who were willing to fall.
We will remember them,
The ones whose lives had shined,
Who were mighty and bold,
May the world be defined.
Look at all our nations,
Oh how far we've come,
As every person will stay in our hearts,
We shall stand one by one.

For ever if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you
Each night we are apart
Remember me.

I had a wonderful visit to UT Arlington's re-creation of The Alamo @ maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UTArlington%20III/161/112/23. I was truly impressed with how accurately modeled the entire sim was, and loved being able to enjoy it there virtually, particularly because I'm a Texan myself and have seen the Alamo and surrounding area many times. I hope you'll pay them a visit. You'll learn a lot about all that happened here, and I hope appreciate how well it was re-created in Second Life.

Decades ago when I was a teenager, I went to a Remembrance Day ceremony honouring veterans and the dead from the World Wars. As people were bowing their heads at the playing of the last post this man was moved to tears.

The post war American automobile buying public was ready for a fresh new look from Detroit. In many cases most cars looked only slightly different than their prewar forties models right up to 1949. Surprisingly, the least expected to do so first was Studebaker with their all new Starlight coupe, and Kaiser, both in 1946, and followed by Hudson in 1947. 1948 saw Cadillac jump on the bandwagon with their new tail-finned models. As far as Chrysler Corp cars, Ford, and the rest of the GM line it wouldn't happen until 1949. And the once great Packard lagged all by offering their new models in 1951, and it, and along with other things probably contributed to their ultimate demise in 1956.
Mechanical and drivability changes were also rapidly happening, and becoming the norm. Features that we've longed taken for granted in most cars today were starting to appear on some of the higher end models. Automatic transmissions were probably an option that many people wanted, and names like Dynaflow, Hydramatic, Fordomatic, and Powerglide were commonly bandied about by the community of new buyers. On the higher end cars you'd probably find things like power windows, power brakes, and power steering, automatic headlight dimmers, and search features on the AM radios, and maybe even air conditioning. And as far as styling, a big new change appeared in 1949, the no post hardtop, or hardtop convertible as it was also known as. It wasn't until 1951 for Ford to have their versions. And that popular look continued right up until the seventies when the government felt it did not meet rollover safety standards. The car seen above was Dodge's version of the all new hardtop design, a 1950 Dodge Coronet Diplomat, their top of the line offering in 1950. This one is a very nicely restored example, albeit never a real favorite of mine, but I suppose it's kind of pretty.

It is with sadness I post this image this morning. My dear Flickr mate Graham www.flickr.com/photos/105795663@N04 passed away yesterday, after a battle with cancer.. Graham will be very much missed for both his wonderful images and keen sense of humour.
I am sure you will all join with me in sending condolences to Ingrid, his wife.
I am posting this in the 100 Flowers Group as up until last year Graham had participated in the group.
The most moving sunset I ever captured. It started as an ordinary evening that become an extraordinary memory. Reminds me that a few are born to die for something bigger than one individual.
Honoring all who served. Happy Veterans Day!
Remember how you overcame some obstacle in your life? Today I wanted to give up because everything that I tried wasn't working. The breeze kept knocking my props over, I was working with snails that didn't want to participate. I wanted to quit and was tearing up because of the frustration of it all but I stopped and observed a spider struggling to climb it's line. The breeze would move the line and the spider just kept moving and with grit and determination it finally got where it was headed. I decided to do the same and although I didn't get exactly what I wanted I endured the battle and have something to show for it.
