I've been wanting for a while to use the Hairdryers as MRL (Multiple rocket Launcher) Pods on the side of an assault Heli... So here it is: a ground support Heli loosely based on the awesome Russian "Hind"
So, I was going through some photos from late last year and came across this one, which I had not really noticed when first perusing shots from that batch. I'm quite taken with it and thought that it complemented my previous two posts well, which together epitomise some of my primary approaches to light.
I'm unlikely to post again until the weekend and will catch up with y'all tonight and tomorrow. Hope everyone's well.

Resting along Green Street in front of the Bensenville diesel house, Milwaukee Road SD40-2 #19 holds onto its fading identity. Originally built as #180, it would eventually be retired prior to being patched for the Soo Line.

A Zeus special forces Stork is partnered with a Tiger 2 attack helicopter which will provide protection and close air support.
I am quite fussy about scale, but with a reason; I like to be able to put different vehicles together. That is fairly easy to pull of on a fairly large scale. At this scale, not so much. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, though.
A sign of the times. No-one is safe ANYWHERE these days. Still, it was re-assuring to see some sort of armed rapid response unit was to hand.
I think the vehicle is an Audi Q7.

Tarka - our gentle lady and for so many years beloved friend, our sweet house cat. A female cat who loves to be very near to us. She could not miauw so she always purred, always in for some play, countless purs, and most impressive the very special contact we shared. We really enjoy these very precious moments together, to be kept in our memory forever.

Going up the steps, I looked up and there they were, the greatest friends, growing up together, seeking each other's company... Luckily, I was carrying my camera.

The protesters of the Freedom Trucker convoy want to eliminate all COVID mandates and restrictions including vaccination. They claim that the entire pandemic is a hoax and that the COVID survival rate is as high as 99.97%, no worse than influenza. However, looking at statistics in Canada (September 2021 prior to the OMICRON variant surge), 1.8% of COVID cases were fatal. If the survival rate was as high as 99.97% as they claimed, with the 1.53 million cases that took place in our country there should have been only a few hundred deaths. But in reality, over 35 thousand COVID deaths have occurred in Canada prior to the OMICRON variant that is still underway (third most common cause of death in 2021). Deaths in USA are now approaching 1 million and five and a half million deaths worldwide. More have died from COVID in 2 years than in the past 30 years from Influenza! In addition we don’t know the long- term effects of COVID for those that survived but have ongoing suffering.
We were extremely fortunate to have the mRNA COVID vaccines. The reason why they were created so quickly was because the vaccine had been developed safely back in 2003 for the SARS epidemic. That disease burned out before vaccines became available but research continued allowing for the remarkable achievement of having a vaccine ready for clinical use and safety within a year of the COVID virus being identified.
What is true about the benefits of the mRNA vaccine is this: against the original China Wuhan strain it showed a staggering 95% protection against the infection. Of course with the new OMICRON variant it’s efficacy has waned, but new data proves that when boosters are added it still shows 95% effectiveness against death from COVID-19. Proof in the USA, the vaccine saved more than 1 million lives as of November 2021.
What is fortunate about this virus is the relative lack of severity and death in children. With current evidence the greatest severity is in older people. Infected individuals over age 75 are 20 times more to be hospitalized and 200 times more likely to die from it compared to people 19 to 29 years old. But what if children suffered more? No doubt if similar mortality affected them the effects on society would have been catastrophic and the Freedom Trucker convoy would likely not have taken place. Look back to the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 1918-19, Spanish Flu, that notoriously struck down the very young and those in the prime of their lives. Back then as high as 100 million deaths occurred, with peak influenza deaths at age 28 and under age 5. Goods given immunity definitely did not work for them.
Obviously the Freedom Trucker convoy is expressing outright hostility and opposition to the vaccine. It should be noted that in the past where immunization rates have dropped rates of disease and deaths have often increased. For example, in Ireland where they dropped measles immunization in 2000, the disease incidence went from 148 cases when vaccinating in 1999 to 1,200 cases when unvaccinated plus many more deaths of children.
There are lessons to be learned here as the next pandemic may be worse and cause more harm to children. So what do we do? We need to carry on with public health infrastructure in Canada and the world. Unlike the Freedom Trucker convoy protest we must follow anti-virus protocol and scale up, not down, for the next pandemic. We need to invest in novel treatments, vaccine development, pathogen sequencing and outbreak surveillance as we have done up to now. We need to ensure that PPE and masking is maintained and ready to be deployed again when necessary. Plus reinforce our healthcare workforce.
Getting back to the bizarre Freedom Trucker statement that “God Given Immunity Works Best” it's false as historically pandemics kill many, especially children, but vaccination saves many many more!
