After adding this to the Videos on Flickr group I realized that others had come up with the same idea. Mine is slightly different as I processed it through Adobe Premiere and tried the Picture in Picture option.........; which I like!
Memorial in a garden at Blackhall's Welfare Park to the 19 killed in an August 1969 bus (or coach) crash on the two-mile, one-in-five Crawleyside Bank, Stanhope, Weardale. Fifteen died at the scene, four later in Bishop Auckland's hospital.
With the descent shrouded in mist, the brakes failed on a bus carrying 42 members of Blackhall Veterans Bowls Club. They had been playing an annual match at Consett. The dead included driver Victor Watts's 12-year-old daughter, Linda. Six of the victims were married couples, and nearly all who died were grandparents.
Three months later, driver Watts told an inquest: "It [the vehicle] just seemed to go away from me. I yanked the handbrake and operated the foot brake but, seconds later, I was going like a rocket. When I came out of the mist, I saw the houses and ploughed straight into them. I never seemed to have a chance."
Having won the match at Consett, the bowlers, most of them retired coal miners, asked to journey home via Derwent Reservoir, opened two years earlier.
The toppling bus careered at least 40 yards through five front gardens, their stone walls tearing away its flimsy metal sides and then ripping out the nearside passengers, until it finally embedded itself in a house wall just beyond the Campbell Arms.
Many of the dead and injured were trapped in the coach's tangled framework, reported the Northern Echo. An eyewitness, Tommy Gill, told the newspaper: "We heard a terrific bang and thought a jet had crashed. I tried to get outside but I had to clamber over the debris. It was terrible, just like a battlefield. There were bodies wedged between the coach and the house – bodies all over. Some were obviously beyond help, but others were screaming and crying."
Hey remember that time we decided to kiss anywhere except the mouth
Hey remember that time when my favorite colors were pink and green
Hey remember that month when I only ate boxes of tangerines
Hey remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare
Hey remember that other time when I would only read the backs of cereal boxes
Hey remember that time when I would only smoke Marlboros
I know he'll never be forgotten,
He was a king uncrowned.
I know I'll always remember
The warmth of his sound,
Lingering long I'm sure he's still around.
For those who heard they respect him yet,
So those who hear won't forget.
The sound of each phrase
Echoing time uncountable by days.
The things he played are with us now
And they'll endure should time allow.
Oh yes, I remember Clifford.
I seem to always feel him near somehow.
Every day I hear his lovely tone
In every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its own.
So how can we say something so real has really gone away?
I hear him now, I always will
Believe me I remember Clifford still.

Ah, I remember a great bar from my college days called the Seawall, when I used to....
but, I'm sure you all don't want to hear about that...
instead, enjoy this Sea wall, which was taken in Silver Sands Park.
Have a safe and happy 4th!
I can recall driving past this convenience store, thinking, "I would NEVER pay that much for gas"....Now that price would seem like a gift from above!

Today I finally finished my China book. I have been reading it on and off since my last ship. It's a very lovely book, and I have read others by Anchee Min. She's a very talented writer, and I love her imagery. I also love all things oriental and read many books about China and Japan. This poem at the end was beautiful and really moved me. I have no idea who it's by, but apparently it's a Tang dynasty poem entitled 'The Tune of the Posaman'
I live by the Yangtze river near its source
While you reside further down its course
You and I drink water out of the same stream
I haven’t seen you though daily of you I dream
When will this river cease to run?
When shall I not love you, the way I do?
I only wish our two hearts would beat as one
And you wouldn’t disappoint me in my love for you
Also of note is 'Across the Nightingale Floor' and subsequent sequels. I forget who they're by, I started reading them in year 9 I think.
There is another picture of this book on a different bed. It made me remember what seems now almost a dream, a different time. There are several reasons for the title, this being one.
Another more obvious one is that it's firework night tonight, so that fits, and also this time last year was a very happy time for me. Phil met my sister for the first time. We DTR'd (my new word off Laura) and I let him in to my life. One might say foolishly given that all that happened since makes it appear as if that night meant nothing. But it was still a nice night, and there were lovely times afterwards in Windermere before I found out what had happened in between.
Also, tonight I did some remembering of my own. I am prone to dwelling on the past, turning it over in my head and seeking out answers. And when no answers are forthcoming, I think the worst. I will never fully trust anyone again and this saddens me. But we should make the most of what life gives us and at the moment, I have a lot to make the most of.
The final reason for the naming of this picture is that I stole the title off Phil :p so there we are, the five-fold meaning to a boring picture of a book.
Kudos to students at Milton High School who commemorate 9/11 by placing one flag for every individual who lost their life in the quad in front of the school. Though most of the students have only a vague recollection of the events that transpired on this day and forever changed our world, their efforts are very much appreciated by the community - especially by those whose lives were directly impacted on this tragic day.
Shortly after taking this pic, while I chatted with a photog friend, an SUV pulled up. My friend recognized the woman waving from the front seat of the vehicle and the two were soon sharing a friendly hug, while several spilled out of the doors and gathered round and the woman's husband slowly walked over. Somewhere in the midst of this joy was also a deep sorrow, and the reason for the visit was soon shared: the husband had lost his sister, the woman her sister-in-law on 9/11. In memory of the loss, they named their beautiful and youngest daughter Margaret, after the sister.
Despite the fact that the events of 9/11/2001 took place nine years ago, it's hard not to remember and now to have met a man who lost his sister - in her 30's - serves as another reminder of the very real impact so many experienced on this day.
Blessings to Peter and Sherry Walier and their family on this day.
For those i can no longer visit with, sit in the shade of the day, and speak of our love of life, friends, and family. 9-11 remembered.
The fallen of two world wars not forgotten.

I always have trouble remembering how to spell "yacht" and somethings it does not look right so apologies if my spelling is not consistent.
The National Yacht Club was founded in 1871 as the Kingstown Royal Harbour Boat Club and an active club prior to 1870 operated on the site. It is likely that it was a commercial venture loosely described as a club rather than a club as known today.
The present clubhouse, designed by William Sterling, was erected in 1870 at a cost of £4,000. At that time it was known as the Kingstown Royal Harbour Boat Club.
In 1872 the name was changed to the Kingston Harbour Boat Club, as the use of the word Royal in a title requires a royal warrant and that was registered with Lloyd's in 1872.
Ownership passed to a Captain Peacocke and others who formed a proprietary club called the Kingstown Harbour Yacht Club, again registered at Lloyds. In 1887 the clubhouse was bought by a Mr Charles Barrington. and between 1887 and 1901 the club was very active and operated for a while as the Absolute Club although this change of name was never registered.
The name changed yet again to the Edward Yacht Club, following its purchase by three trustees. In 1930 at a time when the Edward Yacht Club was relatively inactive, a committee including the Earl of Granard approached the trustees with a proposition to form the National Yacht Club.
The Earl of Granard had been Commodore of the North Shannon Yacht Club. An agreement was reached, the National Yacht Club was registered at Lloyds, and the Earl of Granard became the first Commodore. It obtained a warrant from the Irish Herald of Arms and is the only Yacht Club In Ireland with a warrant to use the State Harp on its Ensign.
It continues to provide yachting facilities today.
Other yacht clubs in Dún Laoghaire are the Royal Irish Yacht Club founded in 1831, the Royal St. George Yacht Club founded in 1838 and the Dunlaoghaire Motor Yacht Club founded in 1965.
