This is the backside of the Saint John Free Public Library postcard from the early 20th century. Stamp depicts King Edward VII. If someone had told the writer of the note on this card that a hundred and twenty years later people around the world using linked computers would be able to see their message . . . !
Harry’s original pre-war ‘call up’ paper. The Military Training Act of 27 April 1939 was a response to Hitler's threat of aggression in Europe. All British men aged 20 and 21 who were fit and able were required to take six months military training. When war broke out all men currently in the Militia were automatically in for the ‘duration of hostilities’. Harry was re-routed directly to his local territorial battalion, but still classed as ‘Militia’, not ‘Territorial’.
Frantically jotted down in the dark at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Auditorium. Yes, I am a big nerd.
I only made one mis-identification--I couldn't remember the name of "'Till the Money Runs Out" and tentativly guessed "In Shades." At least I knew which album it was from!
It was a truly amazing show.

The Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway started in Hampton in Arden near Birmingham and connected at Derby with the North Midland Railway and the Midland Counties Railway at what became known as the Tri Junct Station. Although Birmingham was served by an extensive canal network, indeed, it is suggested they were a factor in its growth as an engineering centers, there were huge technical problems. As early as 1824, entrepreneurs had been looking at the possibilities of the railway and by the end of the 1830s the lines to London and to Liverpool and Manchester were proving a huge success. Accordingly, there was great interest in exploring other routes, including the northeast, with the idea of a line to Derby to meet the proposed North Midland Railway.
George Stephenson surveyed the route in 1835 and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway Bill passed through Parliament in 1836. It would run from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden, where it would join the London and Birmingham Railway line to its terminus at Curzon Street.
George's son Robert Stephenson took on the post of engineer, with an assistant, John Cass Birkinshaw. Some 42 miles long, it would need seventy eight bridges and two viaducts, with a cutting at the approach to Derby, consideration being given to the danger of flooding by the River Trent.

1837 August. Announced the work on the line had commenced
It opened on 12 August 1839. From the start the joint use of Curzon Street terminus, with the London and Birmingham Railway, gave problems, so in 1840 a new line was built with a terminus at Lawley Street.
In 1840 the line ran from Derby to Birmingham with stations at Willington, Burton, Barton and Walton, Oakley and Alrewas, Tamworth, Kingsbury, Coleshill and Hampton. The journey time was two hours and a one-way fare ranged from 10s to 5s.
Strong competition between the line and the Midland Counties Railway for transport, particularly of coal, to London, almost drove both of them out of business.
In 1844, the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, the Midland Counties Railway and the North Midland Railway merged to form the new Midland Railway.

My Dear Uncle
I hope you will excuse the liberty I take in writing to you but having heard from my dear father John Claydon that you were living, I thought [end of page]
[Page 2] I should like to write to you. I don't think I was born when you left England. I am his youngest daughter. I was at home for a holiday a month ago. My dear friends were pretty well. Father was as well as usual, but he breaks very fast he has not been able to do any work for this 3 years but [end of page]
[Page 3] he is getting an old man he says his longest time in this world is but short now he has been a dear good father to me and if it pleases God to call him first, I shall greatly miss him but I hope to meet him and all who are near and dear to me some day in that [end of page]
[Page 4] bright land where we shall never more be parted. My Dear Uncle, I am going to ask you to favour me with a letter from you and your portrait as I should so much like it. I saw the one you sent father. I think you are very much like him. I hope this will find you and your family

Happy Satan V-Day!
I've had enough scheming and messing with jerks. My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work. I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed. Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be rich?
Too many shadows, whispering voices. Faces on posters, too many choices. If, when, why, what? How much have you got? Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often? And which do you choose, a hard or soft option? (How much do you need?)
WTF does a bat look like? [followed by interpretations of different types of bats]
Ender... What? [reference to that youtube video that Carolyn can't stop laughing at]
As I sit here, I realize revenge is not my thing. Especially when my biology is out of sync. I know that feel.

One booklet! :-)
The printers Kershaw & Ashworth were still going in c. 1973 because they printed the Heptonstall Trail!
An unbelieveable find yesterday on the top floor of the oldest bldg. of the Lawrence Bros. complex.A large pile of company documents-employee records,vendor records,duplicate checks-in a large pile on the floor!Pile showed some signs of being on fire and roof was dark like there had been a pretty good fire in the room! Some documents went back to the '90s but there was alot of info there that shouldn't have been.Hard to explain this one on vandals!
This is a couple of pages from a Royal Air Force log book belonging to my dad, James Edward Bewley. He qualified as a Wireless Operator on 13 July 1943 and as an Emergency Air Gunner on 28 July 1943. His service number was 1398777 and he served with RAF Bomber Command flying operations in Lancasters, big four-engined heavy bombers. He did his bit.

Project88 Day 2 - Biology
I didn't think today would take as long as it did, oh well, at least I'm 2/2 and am on track. Here's a shot of the notes I took today, just some key points I want to remember.
Today, I finished early enough to squeeze in last night's 2-hour season finale of 24 before dinner and took the evening off. The double episode finale was awesome! I just started watching this season's 24 and don't know why I waited so long before tuning in. Jack Bauer is just so pro. I was amazed at how exciting a show which is supposed to be set within 24 hours and presented in real time can be. Every minute of it was thrilling and I couldn't see most twists and turns coming. I'm kinda sad all my favorite prime time shows are ending (Monday to Friday - Chuck, Heroes, 24, Lie to me, Southland, Prison Break, and Dollhouse).
