I sent Daisy out on a Walmart excursion Sunday morning. It works out well that way, since Daisy is always dressed for action bright and early anyway, while I prefer to take it easy in the mornings. But since you all don't usually get to see Daisy doing her shopping duties, I thought I'd sacrifice my morning routine this time, tag along, and take a few photos. Here she is, list in hand, taking care of business. If you choose to zoom in, kindly ignore the ungainly scrawl of my handwriting. It's never been my forte. Sometimes Daisy will return with a wrong item and explain that she tried her best, couldn't be sure what I wrote...and took a shot at it. 😉

Una missione del Seicento alla scoperta della Georgia
Vent' anni fa, nel 1987, il gemellaggio fra l' allora città sovietica di Tbilisi e Palermo rendeva brevemente visibile la figura di due monaci palermitani vissuti nel XVII secolo, Francesco Maria Maggio e Cristoforo Castelli. In una targa affissa in via dell' Università, in italiano e in esotici caratteri georgiani i due teatini sono ricordati come «messaggeri di amicizia e cultura».

A looping style inquiry written in Bill's notebook.
(1) Tell me a way you protect others from the truth of your being.
(2) Tell me what is right about protecting others from your being.
(3) Tell me what you experience when you protect others from your being.
A couple days late, but nonetheless.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Handbills produced by our Focus Group in 2000 during the closing of the Marlton Crossing Super Fresh across town. The one on the right was handed out at the Marlton Crossing store during their closing by members of the SF 463 Focus Group. Super Fresh 463 did survive 12 more years after this, after nearly 30 years in operation.

It is well known that I hold today's Union Pacific power situation in utter contempt; especially the faded and bland General Electric cookie cutter sticks of butter.
They move today's goods a lot more efficiently than the variety of locomotion that I grew up with, so I guess that I have to deal with them. Besides, today's numerous ES44AC will be tomorrow's eclectic SD40-2.
Supposedly. To a younger generation.

Hospital 126 (MSCh 126) is a large hospital based at the North end of Priypat.
The basement contains liquidators uniforms which are highly radioactive. On this note, it is not recommended to go into the basement for this reason alone.
The hospital is a vast complex occupying the largest part of the first micro-district of Pripyat. The building is adorned with huge letters on its roof that read: "??????'? ?????? - ????????? ??????" or “health of a people - riches of the country”.
It was at this hospital on the 26th April 1986 that the first victims of the disaster were delivered by ambulance: firemen and personnel of the Chernobyl Powerplant. The majority of those had already received deadly doses of external and internal radiation also having severe skin burning from beta radiation. After such doses, most did not survive; they still stood up, tried to joke about it but the days or even hours of their lives were already numbered.
Hospitals are not a cheery place to be but this one was full of dereliction, dark corridors, doors slamming with the wind. Ghosts of the past still haunting this building.
The victims stayed here less than a day; were then transported to Kiev, and then by plane to Moscow. Everybody, except engineer Shashenok, died in hospital, he was the first one to die in the night of April, 26th. There were 6 firemen, 22 powerplant workers who died of sharp radiation sickness in the 6th radiological clinic of Moscow in the course of several months after the initial disaster.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

with my great grandfather's and grandfather's handwriting, from mother's heirloom.
Mum was 16 at the end of WW2, when she (literally) dug some of the family documents (and the old family photos) out of the rubble of our home.
Our family lived at Castle Hill close to the Royal Palace and War Department, so that building was bombed the longest, and got liberated at the very latest in Budapest.
These papers are the result of great-grandfather's and grandfather's research of our ancestors, a kind of family tree. Mum tried to set them together.
Ezeket az elsárgult papírokat Anyu holmijai közt találtam. Mesélte, hogy az ostrom után ezeket a régi családi fotókkal együtt szó szerint a romok alól kaparta ki, sajnos csak egy részüket sikerült megmenteni. Szerencsére ennyi megmaradt, nagyapám és dédapám kézírása. Anyu próbálta meg összerakni anno.

Honda, Tolima es mucho más de lo que se puede ver desde el puente, cuando vamos de paso y bajamos a tierra caliente, pasamos por alto la gran cantidad de patrimonio cultural y diversidad de elementos arquitectónicos que caracterizan este puerto.

I loved this 1935-era swimming pool regulation sign posted at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago. My favorites:
"Admission to the pool is refused to all persons having any venereal disease, contagious disease, infectious condition such as colds, fevers, ringworm, foot infections, skin lesions, carbuncles, pimples, inflamed eyes, ear discharges, etc., or any other condition which has the appearance of an infectious condition. Persons with excessive sunburn, abrasions which have not healed, corn plasters, bunion pads, adhesive tape, rubber bandages, etc., or other bandages of any kind will not be admitted." (How did they ever find anyone who could swim here? I mean, I think I'm pretty healthy but with my pimples and abrasions, even I couldn't pass that list!)
"All persons will be required to take a shower in the nude with soap and warm water before being allowed in the pool area." (In my day, you just had to rinse yourself off, in your swimsuit, before you went in the pool, but I guess they gotta wash all those hospital germs off them first.)
"Women and girls are required to wear caps while in the pool." (These days most girls I know have hair shorter than most guys I know, so this doesn't quite work anymore!)
"Unnecessary expectoration, spouting of water, roughness, rowdyism, etc., will not be permitted." (Expectoration? Using a word like that these days would just get you a blank look...)
