Remember...
Why we have what we have...
What it cost others to give them to us...
What it costs others so we may keep them...
What it would cost to lose them....

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."
Apparently, my grandfather kept a journal of things he overheard at the hospital - most of the things are about pregnancy, getting pregnant, getting un-pregnant, and STDs. All in about 1932-1936. There is some really, funny, candid stuff in here! Well. Funny, if you have a pretty dark sense of humor.

Caledonian Boeing 757 G-BPEB has just been towed out ready for departure. The aircraft went on to serve with a number of airlines and eventually ended up with Federal Express in 2012. It flew with them for another 12 years before being put into store during May 2024 (info from Airfleets)
We flew with this airline in 1998 to Ibiza
I remember, I remember,
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from heav'n
Than when I was a boy.

"Welcome to this most sacred site! A place of healing, prayer, and peace honoring the innocent victims who died on September 11, 2001.
This memorial combines steel from the North Tower Building of the World Trade Center and bells from the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity’s Seminary in Monroe, Virginia. The structure is an extension of God’s magnificent natural beauty, a place of great reverence and sacredness.
The bells were originally blessed and installed in 1960 at the Seminary and rang there until 1973. They have been silent since then. Bells have always been significant in calling people. These bells will ring out calling all people to pray and work faithfully for world peace, so that these victims will not have died in vain. This Tower of Remembrance emerging from the rubble of violence will remind us that in God there is hope; that as we remember, we heal. The name of each innocent victim who died at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in the field in Pennsylvania is inscribed on the memorial walls.
The Tower of Remembrance is a place where everyone can reflect on the sacredness of lives remembered. A bell tolls forty-six minutes after each hour starting at 8:46 A.M. and ending at 8:46 P.M. It tolls four times in remembrance of the lives lost at the North Tower, at the South Tower, at the Pentagon, and in the field in Pennsylvania.
The Tower of Remembrance at the Shrine of St. Joseph was dedicated on July 13, 2002. Led by Fr. Peter Krebs, S.T., Director of the Shrine, victims families, area clergy and the Shrine staff all took part in the prayerful ceremony dedicating the Tower as an enduring memorial to all of the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001 on the United States and its people."

Just a reminder for my fellow Americans. If you have not done so already, today is the day to exercise your right to vote. No political discussion, just be thankful for that right and make sure that those who sacrificed for you to have it didn't do so in vain.
BTW this image was taken somewhere along the road in TX, the flag was in someone's yard, I think. Taken as the sun was setting from a moving car.
An elegant mosque at the Town Hall end of Hall Bazaar. If I remember, our guide referred to it as the Kashimir mosque. Although a mosque looks totally out of place now in Amritsar, it is hard to believe that as recently as 1947, before the partition of India, Hindus and Moslems lived and interacted side by side here in Amritsar. (and in Lahore on the other side before partition changed everything). Back to this mosque, this is the beautiful Khair ud Din Masjid. It was built in 1876 by Muhammad Khairuddin. The mosque holds great importance in India’s freedom struggle. It was from this mosque that Tootie-e-Hind, Shah Attaullah Bukhari, called upon the people to wage war against the British rulers. Apart from the historical and religious importance that the mosque holds, the architecture of the mosque is splendid. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
