Fort Frederica National Monument, on St. Simons Island, Georgia, preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids.[4] About 630 British troops were stationed at the fort. A town of up to 500 colonial residents had grown up outside the fort; it was laid out following principles of the Oglethorpe Plan for towns in the Georgia Colony. The town was named Frederica, after Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King George II. The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
James Edward Oglethorpe (22 December 1696[– 30 June 1785) was a British general, Member of Parliament, philanthropist, and founder of the colony of Georgia. As a social reformer, he hoped to resettle Britain's poor, especially those in debtors' prisons, in the New World
**Crisfield Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 90001018, date listed 19900709
Roughly bounded by Chesapeake Ave., Maryland Ave., 4th and Cove Sts., including area between Asbury Ave. and E. Main St.
Crisfield, MD (Somerset County)
The Crisfield Historic District comprises a cohesive collection of houses, churches, and commercial buildings within the town of Crisfield in southern Somerset County, Maryland. These resources date primarily from c. 1870 to 1930 and reflect the rapid growth of the town as the center of the booming Chesapeake Bay oyster industry during that period. The district encompasses much of Crisfield's main residential and commercial areas, locally known as "uptown" to distinguish it from the "downtown" commercial and industrial area along the Tangier Sound waterfront.
There are no cemeteries associated with these churches due to the restrictive lots on which these churches stand. Instead, a town cemetery was laid out along Somerset and Chesapeake Avenues. This large town cemetery not only contains hundreds of nineteenth and twentieth-century grave markers, but also an impressive group of Victorian iron fences. Surrounding at least seven separate plots are highly ornate iron fences, three of which are stamped Champion Iron Fence Company, Kenton, Ohio. There is no comparable collection of cemetery fence in Somerset County. Standing in the front portion of the graveyard is a memorial statue to commemorate those soldiers who died in World War I.

Albatros D Va (reproduction)
The aircraft on exhibit in the Museum is in the markings of Joachim von Hippel of Jasta 5, the third-highest scoring German Jasta (squadron). It illustrates well the flamboyant and famous german “Flying Circus” coloring system. The green, red-outlined tail, green wheel covers, and red propeller spinner were the markings used on all aircraft in the squadron. These colors were well-known to the British, who called them “The Green Tails.” The gray fuselage with the red lightning bolt was von Hippel’s personal marking which distinguished his fighter from other aircraft. He named his aircraft “Blitz” (Lightning). Also noteworthy are the purple and green wing colors painted at the factory as part of a standard camouflage pattern.
The Albatros fighter series consisting of D. I through D. Va models were the primary German fighter aircraft of World War I. The D. I model was introduced in September 1916, just as the first German fighter squadrons were being formed.
The D. V and D. Va types, the most produced and widely used of the Albatros fighters, were put into service in May and October 1917. More than 2,500 D. V/Va’s were made. Their use was so extensive that in April 1918, at the time of the great German spring offensive, almost 50 percent of all German fighter aircraft were Albatros. Although replaced in the summer of 1918, the type remained in wide service until the Armistice on November 11, 1918. Virtually all German aces flew the Albatros at some time in their careers. Aerodynamically designed and especially noteworthy was its unique rudder and horizontal stabilizer configuration. This feature was readily identifiable from great distances.
The aircraft also had two important structural characteristics: the fuselage was of plywood semimonocoque construction and the lower wing was of smaller chord than the upper wing, resulting in greater maneuverability and better downward visibility. The difference between the V and Va models was minor, consisting of a change in aileron control wire configuration.
The International Fur Exchange Building is a seven-story brick commercial style building of brick-faced reinforced concrete with a flat roof. The brick, in a red and brown mix, is highlighted by the use of off-white terra cotta. Accentuated by the extensive use of terra cotta, the prominence of the auction room (top floor of the building) is further emphasized by a terra cotta frieze inscribed "THE INTERNATIONAL FUR EXCHANGE" in blue letters on each side. The International Fur Exchange Building was begun in 1919 and completed in 1920. Designed by noted St. Louis architect George W. Hellmuth, the original building was approximately 125 x 150'. The reinforced concrete, brick-sheathed building anchored the southeast corner of Market & Fourth Streets in the heart of downtown St. Louis and provided a nicely-scaled complement to the Old Courthouse diagonally across the street. This building was deemed eligible for listing of on the National Register Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A and is nationally significant in
the area of Commerce as the preeminent building in St. Louis associated with the city's prominence as an international center of fur trade from 1920, when the building opened, to 1948. It was added to the register on April 13, 1998 and all the information above was found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration located here: catalog.archives.gov/id/63820921

New London Harbor Light is a lighthouse in Connecticut on the west side of the New London harbor entrance. It is the nation's fifth oldest light station and the seventh oldest U.S. lighthouse. It is both the oldest and the tallest lighthouse in Connecticut and on Long Island Sound, with its tower reaching 90 feet.
The light is visible for 15 miles and consists of three seconds of white light every six seconds. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is currently owned and maintained by the New London Maritime Society as part of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act program.
New London Harbor Light is located at Lighthouse Point in southern New London, just east of Guthrie Beach off Pequot Avenue. In addition to the lighthouse, the station includes the keeper's house, a two-and-a-half-story brick residence. The property once also included a barn, an oil house, and an engine room; all of these structures have been removed.
The original New London Harbor Lighthouse was built on the west side of the entrance to New London Harbor in 1760. Connecticut ceded the lighthouse to the United States according to the "Memoranda of Cessions" of 7 August 1789.
On May 7, 1800, Congress appropriated funds to rebuild the lighthouse, and it was removed in 1801 when the current stone tower was built. In 1855, a fourth-order Fresnel lens replaced the original 11 lamps with 13-inch (330 mm) reflectors. Illumination was converted to oil-vapor lamp in 1909 and to acetylene in 1912. The light was electrified in 1930. The present keeper's house was built in 1863, and was enlarged in 1900 to accommodate the families of married keepers. The light was acquired by the New London Maritime Society in 2010.
Something so old and yet so beautiful. The craftsmanship of the day was amazing. And doesn’t use electricity.
Rock Springs Elk Lodge #624, 310 D Street, Rock Springs, Wyoming. This 1922 building was designed by D.D. Spani in the Italian Renaissance style, using brick with terra cotta ornamentation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
**Abo** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 66000497, date listed 19661015
3 mi. W of Abo on U.S. 60
Mountainair, NM (Torrance County)
A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).
The Abo Unit of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument sits west of the town of Mountainair, New Mexico, and contains approximately 370 acres. The number and size of unexcavated pueblo mounds suggest that when the Spanish arrived in 1581 they would have found a thriving community. In 1622 Fray Francisco Fonte was assigned to the Abo Mission. Working with the Puebloan, Fonte established the use of rooms in one of the pueblos for an early convento. An early smaller Abo Church and Convento were built starting in 1623. Similar to Quarai, the convento for this church curiously contained a Circular Kiva. This Puebloan religious structure probably aided in early conversions. Construction on this earlier church and convento was completed by 1628. In 1629, a second missionary, Fray Francisco Acevedo, was assigned to Abo. In 1640 Acevedo began to renovate the Abo church and convento. This renovation increased the size of the church and included many improvements. This new, larger church was built around the smaller church, allowing services to continue until the smaller church needed to be dismantled and removed. Renovations to the church and convento were complete by 1658. Like Gran Quivira, a combination of disease, drought, famine, and Apache raiding led to the abandonment of Abo in 1673.
For over 100 years Abo was quiet. In 1815 Spanish sheep hearders attempted to return to the area, but were pushed out by Apaches in 1830. Settlers would permanently return in 1865. (1)
The kiva, or Indian ceremonial chamber, in the patio appears to have been built at the time of the first church and convento. It was later filled with trash, possibly during Acevedo's renovation. It's puzzling to find this symbol of Indian religion in the midst of a Franciscan mission. Why was it here? No adequate explanation has yet been found. (from Abo Trail Guide)

Why Can’t I Focus Like My German Shepherd Dogs? — IMRAN®
How’s your ability to focus? How good is your attention span? Mine? Let’s just say… K2, like Kennedy even more before him, makes me look like a neutron struck by a high-energy cosmic ray—neutral one moment, then suddenly fragmented, scattered, and thinking in directions I didn’t even know existed!
You’d think my energetic German Shepherd would be the poster pup for distraction, but when it matters—he locks in. Meanwhile, I’m over here letting my own mind derail me from the important stuff. Like, say, chasing my tax refund instead of writing this post!
For example, when we’re on the vacant lot near my blessed home in a quiet cul-de-sac, and someone passes by heading toward the turnaround point in front of my home, K2 immediately stops whatever he’s doing. Not because he can see them doing anything near my home—our view is blocked by thick hedges—but because he knows they are not from “here” and are near our home.
He is confident they’ll not dare go into the home so he doesn’t go to the sidewalk to look and be certain. Instead he stands or sits still and keeps his gaze fixed on the sliver of road just beyond the hedge’s edge. That’s his window of focus - “Did they turn and go back?”.
He waits—calm, alert, focused—until they pass again on their way back to their own homes. Then he releases his concentration and is ready for me to toss another coconut in the bay for him to swim out to and retrieve.
That’s the kind of focus I need to develop. The kind that doesn’t… oh, look,…. a squirrel! ️

The awesome team at LEGO® New Zealand have recently moved into a new office in Auckland's Beehive building so we built them their own LEGO® brick honeycomb 🐝to welcome them, complete with a LEGO® brick bee and Kiwi!
It was surprisingly tricky to build- especially the hexagons made with LEGO's pale "Cool Yellow" colour, as there aren't very many parts made in that colour!
And what we also need for them is the computer POS systems to have the cashiers see the products purchased listed on. You see the Food Lion's Millennium decor? One component is the department signage, for example, the Cold Beer signage. The other component is Food Lion's motto, Extra Low Prices on the other boundary after the Cold Beer boundary. Don't get too drunk on these signs, okay?

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the north side of Hillsboro Inlet, midway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. The light marks the northern limit of the Florida Reef, an underwater coral formation on the lower east coast of the state.
Hillsboro Point was designated as hazardous for the safe navigation of ships in 1855, and federal designation was sought. A request for a lighthouse at the inlet was first made in 1884. The request was repeated yearly and rejected 17 times. In 1901, the United States Lighthouse Board persuaded Congress to authorize the construction of a lighthouse in the dark area between Jupiter Inlet Light and Fowey Rocks Light.
The official order approved on February 12, 1901 called for a "first-order light at or near Hillsboro Point...at a cost not to exceed $90,000." No appropriation of funds was made in 1901 and in 1902 $45,000 was appropriated.The full funding to build the lighthouse was appropriated on March 3, 1903.
Initially a site on the south side of the inlet was selected, however it was not feasible, so a site on the north of the inlet was chosen. The owner of the property did not want to sell at first but after beginning condemnation proceedings, an agreement to purchase the land was reached. The 3 acre (1.2 ha) parcel was purchased for $150 from Elnathan T. Field and Mary W. Osborn of Middleton, New Jersey who had bought the land for 70 cents an acre (0.4 ha) from the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund.
Soon after the light was operational unexplained reports of fires in the Everglades began to come in. The cause was the lens, when stopped in the morning at just the right position, it would focus the sunlight west towards the wetlands. A landward baffle was installed. This also shielded nearby residents from the bright light at night.
Lightkeepers would assist shipwrecks using three 12 to 20 horsepower gas boats. The wives of the lighthouse keepers would make sea grape jelly to trade for pickled vegetables from local farmers. Four Coast Guard signalmen were stationed at the lighthouse in World War I barracked in one of the storehouses.
During the 1926 Miami hurricane J.B. Isler stood a 32-hour watch, keeping the light burning while fearing the lighthouse would fall. It stood but 20 feet (6.1 m) of sand was washed out from under it, according to Mary Ella Knight Voss, daughter of a prior lightkeeper. The storm also damaged the dwellings and carried away the boathouse and wharf. Isler's son George and daughter Ruth, born in the keeper's house, were the first children of record born at the Hillsboro Inlet.
The lighthouse beach patrol spotted a German U-boat in 1943, during World War II. The submarine was reportedly sunk, but no wreck has been documented. Later that year a freighter, the M.S. Arcura aroused the suspicion of a lighthouse keeper. The ship was being used as a raider and was crewed by German nationals and carrying arms. The crew were transported to Port Everglades and the Arcura became a war prize.
In 1974 the lighthouse was fully automated. One United States Coast Guardsman was assigned to remain on site to maintain the light and grounds. The assistant keepers' homes were converted to guest quarters for senior coast guard and other senior military officers. The Hillsboro Inlet Light Station was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1979. The lighthouse and buildings are little altered from their original construction in 1907.
In the second half of the 20th century, this inlet became an increasingly busy waterway. Hillsboro Inlet Light is considered one of the most powerful lights in the world with a beam that can be seen for 28 nautical miles (52 km; 32 mi).
