Αστραπή της Ανατολής
Ο Θεός λέει:«...Τον χειμώνα, όλα τα πλάσματα αρχίζουν σταδιακά να ξεκουράζονται μέσα στην παγωνιά, να ησυχάζουν, κι οι άνθρωποι ακόμα κάνουν διάλειμμα κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της εποχής. Αυτές οι μεταβάσεις από την άνοιξη στο καλοκαίρι, στο φθινόπωρο και στον χειμώνα – αυτές οι αλλαγές συμβαίνουν όλες σύμφωνα με τους νόμους που θέσπισε ο Θεός . Καθοδηγεί όλα τα πλάσματα και τους ανθρώπους χρησιμοποιώντας αυτούς τους νόμους και έχει θεσπίσει έναν πλούσιο και πολύχρωμο τρόπο ζωής για το ανθρώπινο γένος, προετοιμάζοντας ένα περιβάλλον για επιβίωση που έχει διαφορετικές θερμοκρασίες και διαφορετικές εποχές. Υπό αυτά τα μεθοδικά περιβάλλοντα επιβίωσης, οι άνθρωποι μπορούν επίσης να επιβιώσουν και να πολλαπλασιαστούν με οργανωμένο τρόπο. Οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να αλλάξουν αυτούς τους νόμους και ούτε ένα άτομο ή πλάσμα δεν μπορεί να τους παραβεί. Δεν έχει σημασία τι ριζοσπαστικές αλλαγές συμβαίνουν στον κόσμο, αυτοί οι νόμοι συνεχίζουν να υπάρχουν και υπάρχουν επειδή υπάρχει ο Θεός. Αυτό συμβαίνει χάρη στη διακυβέρνηση και τη διαχείριση του Θεού....»

Blog post with all of the photos + this description below!!
I cannot believe how quickly a year has flown by.
I honestly don't feel like it's time for me to be ending this project. It's funny; I feel as if I still have months of it left. Time truly does fly by, whether you're having fun or not.
I guess this is part where I'm supposed to talk about how I've changed, improved, etcetera etcetera. I was just telling my mom today that I don't feel as if I've improved that much, but now looking back, I realize that I have improved. The difference in my photography today from what it was a year ago is that I now have ideas and I execute them. I let my imagination completely take over my creating and hope for the best. One of the best rewards in my daily life is creating a photo that I imagined in my head.
As cliche as I am for saying this, I am being 100 percent honest when I say I have no idea what I would do without photography. It has become such a way of life for me. It feels natural to have a camera in my hands. I find myself constantly looking at everything as if I were taking a photograph of it. I'm so thankful to Jesus for blessing me with photography. I love it so much. I don't care if I'm being cliche.
I am going back over this and reading it and not being satisfied with what I'm saying. I wish I could describe to you all in words my feelings after being done with this project. But like good ole Lewis Hine said, "If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug a camera around."
I'm relieved. Ecstatic. Sad. Happy. Undecided. It's a bittersweet feeling but mostly sweet. I'm glad I won't have to feel the pressure of having to take a photo each day, but I'm grateful for the growth and maturity that has come from it.
I feel like my 365 project has been a good representation of my growth in my life. In the past year, I've matured. I've graduated high school. I've grown closer to Jesus. I've learned how precious life truly is and that it should never, ever be taken for granted.
I'm so excited but so nervous to see what God has in store for me in this next chapter of life. I'll be moving to Atlanta in the fall to study photography and I pray that I will be lead by Jesus and Him alone.
I don't know. I feel like I'm rambling at this point.
I would like to specifically thank a few people for the wonderful blessings they've been in my life. Firstly, my madre. She has always been there to support me and love me and I don't know what I'd do without her. I'm so thankful for her.
Secondly, Cami my sister. She's put up with my unsatisfied photographer self from probably 250 out of the 365 days. She gets in cold water for me, stands in muggy/buggy places, wears ridiculous outfits and tolerates me photographing her all the time. Thank you. I love you for it!
Grace/Ginny/Rylee: All of you have been so awesome modeling for me & I'm so thankful to have the beautiful friends that I do. You're all natural models & I truly thank God for this :) Thanks for consistently putting up with me asking you guys if I can take photos of you.
The men in my life: Dad-for always providing for our family in general & for the boat ride out to shell island to take this photo :) Wes & Garre-for being awesome big brothers and for the occasional modeling as well.
All of YOU: anyone and everyone that has ever commented, liked, favorited, reblogged, posted, complimented, criticized, helped, encouraged me. Thank you a million times over. I don't think I would have posted as often had it not been for all of you. I'm so grateful and humbled by your wonderful feedback and support.
Whew. I'm sure I'm going to read back on this and have a million other things I could have said/wished I would have said but oh well. Maybe I'll go back and change this.
Here's to great endings & new beginnings.

Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy en.normandie-tourisme.fr/normandy-tourism-109-2.html in northwestern France. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from le Havre and very close to the exit of the Pont de Normandie. Its inhabitants are called Honfleurais. It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the école de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement. The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest church made out of wood in France. The first written record of Honfleur is a reference by Richard III, Duke of Normandy, in 1027. By the middle of the 12th century, the city represented a significant transit point for goods from Rouen to England. Located on the estuary of one of the principal rivers of France with a safe harbour and relatively rich hinterland, Honfleur profited from its strategic position from the start of the Hundred Years' War. The town's defences were strengthened by Charles V in order to protect the estuary of the Seine from attacks from the English. This was supported by the nearby port of Harfleur. However, Honfleur was taken and occupied by the English in 1357 and from 1419 to 1450. When under French control, raiding parties often set out from the port to ransack the English coasts, including partially destroying the town of Sandwich, in Kent, England, in the 1450s. At the end of the Hundred Years' War, Honfleur benefited from the boom in maritime trade until the end of the 18th century. Trade was disturbed during the wars of religion in the 16th century. The port saw the departure of a number of explorers, in particular in 1503 of Binot Paulmierde Gonneville to the coasts of Brazil. In 1506, local man Jean Denis departed for Newfoundland island and the mouth of the Saint Lawrence. An expedition in 1608, organised by Samuel de Champlain, founded the city of Quebec in modern day Canada. After 1608, Honfleur thrived on trade with Canada, the West Indies, the African coasts and the Azores. As a result, the town became one of the five principal ports for the slave trade in France. During this time the rapid growth of the town saw the demolition of its fortifications on the orders of Colbert. The wars of the French revolution and the First Empire, and in particular the continental blockade, caused the ruin of Honfleur. It only partially recovered during the 19th century with the trading of wood from northern Europe. Trade was however limited by the silting up of the entrance to the port and development of the modern port at Le Havre. The port however still functions today. On August 25, 1944, Honfleur was liberated together by the British army - 19th Platoon of the 12th Devon's, 6th Air Landing Brigade, the Belgian army (Brigade Piron) on 25 August 1944.[1] and the Canadian army without any combat. en.normandie-tourisme.fr/articles/honfleur-278-2.html
Η καθημερινή βρώση και πόση που ο Θεός ετοιμάζει για την ανθρωπότητα
Όταν οι άνθρωποι δεν έχουν να φάνε σιτηρά, οι πατάτες μπορούν να αποτελέσουν βασικό στοιχείο της διατροφής τους, ώστε να καταφέρουν να διατηρούν τα τρία γεύματα ημερησίως. Οι πατάτες μπορούν κι αυτές να αποτελέσουν παροχή τροφής. Οι γλυκοπατάτες δεν είναι τόσο καλές όσο οι πατάτες, όσον αφορά στην ποιότητα, αλλά, και πάλι, μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως βασική τροφή για να διατηρήσουν τα τρία γεύματά τους την ημέρα. Όταν τα σιτηρά δεν είναι ακόμη προς διάθεση, οι άνθρωποι μπορούν να χρησιμοποιήσουν γλυκοπατάτες για να γεμίσουν το στομάχι τους. Το κολοκάσι, το οποίο καταναλώνεται συχνά από τους ανθρώπους του Νότου, μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί με τον ίδιο τρόπο και μπορεί να αποτελέσει, κι αυτό, βασική τροφή. Τούτα είναι τα διάφορα σιτηρά, μια αναγκαιότητα για την καθημερινή βρώση και πόση των ανθρώπων. Οι άνθρωποι χρησιμοποιούν διάφορα δημητριακά για να φτιάξουν noodles, ατμιστά ψωμάκια, ρύζι, και noodles ρυζιού. Ο Θεός έχει παραχωρήσει άφθονα στην ανθρωπότητα αυτά τα διάφορα είδη σιτηρών. Γιατί υπάρχουν τόσο πολλές ποικιλίες; Σ' αυτό μπορούμε να βρούμε τις προθέσεις του Θεού: Από τη μία πλευρά, για να ταιριάζουν στα διαφορετικά εδάφη και κλίματα του Βορρά, του Νότου, της Ανατολής και της Δύσης

Εκκλησία του Παντοδύναμου Θεού
Ο Θεός λέει:« ... Χάρη στη διακυβέρνηση του Θεού μπορούν όλα τα Ο Θεός λέει:«πλάσματα να πολλαπλασιάζονται, και χάρη στη διακυβέρνησή Του και τη διαχείρισή Του όλα τα όντα μπορούν να επιβιώνουν. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι κάτω από τη διακυβέρνηση του Θεού , τα πάντα γεννιούνται, ακμάζουν, εξαφανίζονται και ξαναγεννιούνται με τάξη. Όταν έρχεται η άνοιξη, το ψιλόβροχο φέρνει αυτή την αίσθηση της άνοιξης και υγραίνει τη γη. Το έδαφος αρχίζει να μαλακώνει, το γρασίδι φυτρώνει και βγαίνει προς τα πάνω από το χώμα και τα δένδρα πρασινίζουν σιγά-σιγά. Όλα αυτά τα ζωντανά πλάσματα φέρνουν μια φρέσκια ζωτικότητα στη γη. Αυτή είναι η εικόνα όλων όσα γεννιούνται και ακμάζουν. Επίσης, κάθε είδους ζώα βγαίνουν από τα λαγούμια τους για να νιώσουν τη ζεστασιά της άνοιξης και ξεκινούν μια νέα χρονιά. ... »

Overview
South Walney forms the southern tip of a shingle island lying at the end of the Furness Peninsula. During the medieval period it was farmed by the monks of Furness Abbey, whilst during the 19th and 20th centuries salt, sand and gravel were extracted leaving large lagoons and some industrial remains.
What to see
Every spring, large numbers of lesser black backed and herring gulls still return and begin to set up nest territories. Other breeding birds include eider duck, greater black backed gull, shelduck, oystercatcher, mallard, moorhen and coot. Of the 250 bird species recorded, most are passage migrants on their way to or from breeding grounds. These include common species such as wheatear, redstart, willow warbler and gold crest, as well as more unusual species, which may have been blown off their normal migration route. In winter, large numbers of waders and wildfowl feed and roost around the nature reserve both on the gravel pools and the intertidal areas. Vegetated shingle being a highly unusual habitat, and yellow horned poppy, sea campion and biting stonecrop grow on the single beaches.
Small areas of dune grassland survive with pyramidal orchid, Portland spurge, restharrow and wild pansy. The old gravel workings have developed their own communities with striking plants such as viper's bugloss, henbane and alkanet. Saltmarsh occurs in Lighthouse Bay with species such as thrift, glasswort and sea purslane.
Recent History
South Walney has been leased from Holker Estates since 1963.

----------------------------------------------
Chinchero conocida como la ciudad del Arco Iris está ubicada a 28 km. al noroeste de la ciudad del Cusco, sobre los 3160 msnm., flanqueada por los nevados de Salkantay, Verónica y Soray. La vista desde aquí es impresionante. Chinchero pertenece a la provincia de Urubamba, departamento de Cusco
Chinchero, la población más típica del Valle Sagrado de los Incas, es una ciudad netamente incaica que los conquistadores quisieron "civilizar" para implantar su cultura, pero nunca lo lograron totalmente. Sus pobladores habitan las construcciones incaicas casi intactas, en el mismo lugar donde sus lejanos antepasados vivieron y formaron la civilización más grande y próspera de América.
En el Conjunto Arqueológico de Chinchero llama la atención inicialmente sus andenes, lo que permite entender que fue un centro de producción agrícola en la época inca, también se construyo un almacén y se doto a todo el complejo de un sistema de regadío muy eficiente. La historia cuenta que con la llegada de los españoles, Chinchero fue incendiada en 1536 por Manco Inca, en su huida hacia Vilcabamba, con el objetivo de no dejarles nada a los españoles.
Sobre el Palacio de Tupac Yupanqui los españoles levantaron la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Monserrat en 1607, con la finalidad de representar su sometimiento de forma simbólica. Su Altar mayor tallado en pan de oro y estilo barroco está dedicado a la Virgen de la Natividad. Sus paredes están decoradas con obras de Diego Quispe Tito el máximo representante de la escuela cusqueña. También hay trabajos de Francisco Chihuantito.
En Chinchero el pasado persiste obstinadamente, como si el espíritu de una cultura milenaria se aferrara en este lugar, negándose a desaparecer. Los pobladores nativos, ataviados con coloridos trajes típicos, bajan de sus comunidades los domingos y se aglomeran en la plaza principal para intercambiar sus productos. Ver a todo este grupo de gente de raíces culturales profundas, ajenos a todo signo de modernidad, resulta todo un espectáculo.
En la concurrida y colorida feria dominical de chinchero se puede encontrar objetos de uso domestico, algunos verdaderamente antiguos como los famosos textiles de chinchero. En este pueblo, con comunidades unidas se ha podido conservar un patrimonio vivo, inmaterial, de extraordinario valor, que se expresa tanto en la textilería como en las prácticas agrícolas y en una red de relaciones familiares y comunitarias. En los talleres de las asociaciones de artesanas se exponen diariamente todo el proceso del tejido, desde el lavado de la lana, hasta el producto final, se aprende de las técnicas de hilado, teñido y tejido.
Desde Chinchero se puede acceder a la bella Laguna de Huaypo y al pueblo de Piuray. Chinchero es reconocido también por ser un pueblo de talentosos artesanos textiles.
Die am Neckar liegende Universitätsstadt Tübingen (ca. 85'000 Einwohner) hat - wegen der vielen Studenten - den von allen Städten Deutschlands mit 39 Jahren niedrigsten Altersdurchschnitt. Über 28.600 Studenten besuchen die im Jahre 1477 gegründete Universität.
Die sehr gut erhaltene und gepflegte Altstadt beeindruckt durch viele schöne Fachwerkhäuser, enge verwinkelte Gassen, den zentralen Marktplatz, die dominante Stadtkirche und das erhöht gelegene Schloss Hohentübingen. Auf dem Marktplatz findet am Freitag jeweils der Wochenmarkt stattfindet. Das imposante Rathaus wird aktuell renoviert. An vielen Orten lässt sich in Strassenrestaurants einen badischen Weisswein geniessen und dem regen Treiben zuschauen. Tübingen wird - im Gegensatz zum grösseren und bekannteren Heidelberg - weniger von Touristen aus aller Welt überflutet. Deshalb ist das Leben hier noch ursprünglicher und die Uhren gehen etwas langsamer was Tübingen sehr sympathisch macht.

Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy en.normandie-tourisme.fr/normandy-tourism-109-2.html in northwestern France. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from le Havre and very close to the exit of the Pont de Normandie. Its inhabitants are called Honfleurais. It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the école de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement. The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest church made out of wood in France. The first written record of Honfleur is a reference by Richard III, Duke of Normandy, in 1027. By the middle of the 12th century, the city represented a significant transit point for goods from Rouen to England. Located on the estuary of one of the principal rivers of France with a safe harbour and relatively rich hinterland, Honfleur profited from its strategic position from the start of the Hundred Years' War. The town's defences were strengthened by Charles V in order to protect the estuary of the Seine from attacks from the English. This was supported by the nearby port of Harfleur. However, Honfleur was taken and occupied by the English in 1357 and from 1419 to 1450. When under French control, raiding parties often set out from the port to ransack the English coasts, including partially destroying the town of Sandwich, in Kent, England, in the 1450s. At the end of the Hundred Years' War, Honfleur benefited from the boom in maritime trade until the end of the 18th century. Trade was disturbed during the wars of religion in the 16th century. The port saw the departure of a number of explorers, in particular in 1503 of Binot Paulmierde Gonneville to the coasts of Brazil. In 1506, local man Jean Denis departed for Newfoundland island and the mouth of the Saint Lawrence. An expedition in 1608, organised by Samuel de Champlain, founded the city of Quebec in modern day Canada. After 1608, Honfleur thrived on trade with Canada, the West Indies, the African coasts and the Azores. As a result, the town became one of the five principal ports for the slave trade in France. During this time the rapid growth of the town saw the demolition of its fortifications on the orders of Colbert. The wars of the French revolution and the First Empire, and in particular the continental blockade, caused the ruin of Honfleur. It only partially recovered during the 19th century with the trading of wood from northern Europe. Trade was however limited by the silting up of the entrance to the port and development of the modern port at Le Havre. The port however still functions today. On August 25, 1944, Honfleur was liberated together by the British army - 19th Platoon of the 12th Devon's, 6th Air Landing Brigade, the Belgian army (Brigade Piron) on 25 August 1944.[1] and the Canadian army without any combat. en.normandie-tourisme.fr/articles/honfleur-278-2.html

Venice (Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja] ( listen), Venetian: Venesia) is a city in northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry, and is the capital of the region Veneto, with a population of about 272,000 (census estimate 1 January 2004). Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area (population 1,600,000).
The name is derived from the ancient tribe of Veneti that inhabited the region in Roman times.[1][2] The city historically was the capital of an independent city-state. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini, writing in The New York Times, described it as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".[3] Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.[4]
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers. The population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000[5] in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; and 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain and spice trade) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.[6] It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.

Ο Κύριος Ιησούς είπε, «Αληθώς σας λέγω, εάν δεν επιστρέψητε και γείνητε ως τα παιδία, δεν θέλετε εισέλθει εις την βασιλείαν των ουρανών» (Κατά Ματθαίον 18:3). Ο Κύριος Ιησούς μάς είπε ότι μόνο οι ειλικρινείς άνθρωποι μπορούν να εισέλθουν στη βασιλεία των ουρανών· μόνο οι ειλικρινείς άνθρωποι μπορεί να είναι ο λαός της βασιλείας. Αυτή η ταινία αφηγείται την ιστορία της εμπειρίας της χριστιανής Τσενγκ Νούο για το έργο του Θεού και την πορεία της επιδίωξής της να γίνει ειλικρινής άνθρωπος στη ζωή.
Η Τσενγκ Νούο ήταν γιατρός, Ακόμα και μετά την πίστη της στον Θεό, όποτε έρχεται αντιμέτωπη με πράγματα που πλήττουν τα δικά της συμφέροντα και τη δική της εικόνα στην καθημερινότητά της, εξακολουθεί να μην μπορεί παρά να πει ψέματα και να εξαπατήσει. Μπροστά στις δοκιμασίες και τα δεινά, αναπτύσσει ακόμη και παρανοήσεις και παράπονα για τον Θεό, αλλά αναζητώντας επανειλημμένα την αλήθεια, αποκτά κάποια κατανόηση της ρίζας της ανειλικρίνειας της και της εγωιστικής, πανούργας, σατανικής της φύσης. Αρχίζει να επικεντρώνεται στην επιδίωξη της αλήθειας για να διορθώσει την τάση της να ψεύδεται και την ανειλικρίνεια στην καρδιά της. Αργότερα, όταν συλλαμβάνεται από την κυβέρνηση του Κινεζικού Κομμουνιστικού Κόμματος κατά την εκτέλεση του καθήκοντός της και υποφέρει από καταστροφικά βασανιστήρια, είναι έτοιμη να πεθάνει αντί να πει ψέμα και αρνείται να απαρνηθεί τον Θεό. Γίνεται μια ωραία, ηχηρή μάρτυρας για τον Θεό. Η Τσενγκ Νούο είναι ικανή να γίνει σταδιακά ένας ειλικρινής άνθρωπος και να αγαπήσει και να υπακούσει πραγματικά τον Θεό. Ποια είναι, λοιπόν, στ’ αλήθεια, η ιστορία της;

Dopo aver accettato l’opera della fine dei tempi di Dio Onnipotente, grazie alla lettura delle parole di Dio e all’ascolto dei sermoni, giunsi a comprendere l’importanza del cercare di essere una persona onesta nella propria fede, e che solo diventando una persona di tal fatta era possibile guadagnare la salvezza di Dio. Iniziai, pertanto, a praticare l’onestà nella vita reale. Dopo un po’, scoprii che ero riuscita almeno in parte a entrare in questa disposizione d’animo. Per esempio: mentre pregavo o parlavo con qualcuno, ero capace di dire la verità e le parole mi sgorgavano dal cuore; potevo anche compiere il mio dovere con serietà e, quando rivelavo la corruzione, riuscivo ad aprirmi con altre persone. Per questo motivo, pensavo che essere una persona onesta fosse una cosa abbastanza facile da praticare e per niente ardua come le parole di Dio tendevano a dimostrare: “Molti preferirebbero essere condannati all’inferno piuttosto che parlare e agire onestamente” (“Tre ammonimenti” in La Parola appare nella carne). Solo in un secondo momento riuscii a comprendere attraverso diverse esperienze che non era davvero facile per noi, esseri umani corrotti, essere persone oneste. Le parole di Dio erano assolutamente vere e per nulla esagerate.

The school that I attended in Omaha, 1955-56.
**********************************
Some of the photos in this album are “originals” from the year that my family spent in Omaha in 1955-56. But the final 10 color photos were taken nearly 40 years later, as part of some research that I was doing for a novel called Do-Overs, the beginning of which can be found here on my website
www.yourdon.com/personal/fiction/doovers/index.html
and the relevant chapter (concerning Omaha) can be found here:
www.yourdon.com/personal/fiction/doovers/chapters/ch9.html
Before I get into the details, let me make a strong request — if you’re looking at these photos, and if you are getting any enjoyment at all of this brief look at some mundane Americana from 60+ years ago: find a similar episode in your own life, and write it down. Gather the pictures, clean them up, and upload them somewhere on the Internet where they can be found. Trust me: there will come a day when the only person on the planet who actually experienced those events is you. Your own memories may be fuzzy and incomplete; but they will be invaluable to your friends and family members, and to many generations of your descendants.
So, what do I remember about the year that I spent in Omaha? Not much at the moment, though I’m sure more details will occur to me in the days to come — and I’ll add them to these notes, along with additional photos that I’m tweaking and editing now.
For now, here is a random list of things I remember:
1. I attended the last couple months of 6th grade, and all of 7th grade, in one school. My parents moved from Omaha to Long Island, NY in the spring of my 7th grade school year; but unlike previous years, they made arrangements for me to stay with a neighbor’s family, so that I could finish the school year before joining them in New York.
2. Our dog, Blackie, traveled with us from our previous home in Riverside, and was with us until my parents left Omaha for New York; at that point, they gave him to some other family. For some reason, this had almost no impact on me. It was a case of “out of sight, out of mind” — when Blackie was gone, I spent my final three months in Omaha without ever thinking about him again.
3. Most days, I rode my bike to school; but Omaha was the place where one of my sisters first started attending first grade — in the same school where I was attending 6th grade. I remember walking her to school along Bellevue Avenue on the first morning, which seemed to take forever: it was about a mile away.
4. As noted in a previous Flickr album about my year in Riverside, I was a year younger than my classmates; but I was tall for my age, and thus looked “normal” at a quick glance. But because I was a year younger, I was incredibly shy and awkward in the presence of girls. Omaha was certainly not “sin city,” but by 6th grade and 7th grade, puberty was beginning to hit, and the girls had grown to the point where they were occasionally interested in boys. The school tried to accommodate this social development by teaching us the square dance (and forbidding the playing of songs by Elvis Presley, whose music was just beginning to be heard on the radio). I was an awful dancer, and even more of a shy misfit than my classmates; I continue to be an awful dancer today.
5. My bike ride to school was uneventful most days; but the final part of the ride was a steep downhill stretch on Avery Road, lasting three or four blocks. My friends and I usually raced downhill as fast as we could; but one day, my front bicycle wheel began to wobble on the downhill run, and my bike drifted uncontrollably to the side of the road and then off into a ditch. I got banged up pretty badly.
6. But this accident was nothing compared to my worst mishap: a neighborhood friend and I enjoyed playing “cowboys and Indians” in the woods near his home (and his younger brother usually tagged along). I had a bow and a few arrows for our adventure, and we often shot at trees a hundred feet away. Unfortunately, the arrows often disappeared into the underbrush (because we were lousy shots) and were difficult to find. Consequently, one of us came up with the clever idea of standing behind the “target” tree, so that we could see where the randomly-shot arrows landed. Through a series of miscommunications, I poked my head out from behind the tree just as my friend shot one of the arrows … and it skipped off the side of the tree and into my face, impaling itself into my cheek bone about an inch below my eye. An inch higher, and I would not be typing these words … (meanwhile, my friend's younger brother grew up to be an officer in the U.S. Air Force, and he tracked me down on the Internet, decades later).
7. In the summer of 1956, my parents decided to spend their summer vacation prospecting for uranium (seriously!) in the remote hills of eastern Utah, where my dad had grown up on the Utah-Colorado border. This entailed a long, long drive from Omaha; and it involved leaving me and my two sisters with my grandparents near Vernal, UT. My grandparents lived in a very small mining village outside of Vernal; and while they had electricity and various other modern conveniences, they also had an outhouse in the back yard. Trips to the “bathroom” in the middle of the night were quite an adventure. On the way back to Omaha at the end of this vacation trip (with no uranium ore having been found), we stopped for a couple of days of camping somewhere in the mountains of Colorado; you’ll see a couple of photos from that camping trip in this album.
8. There were no lizards in Omaha, and thus no opportunity for lizard-hunting with my slingshot—which had been a significant hobby in my previous homes in Riverside and Roswell. Indeed, there was almost nothing to shoot at … and I couldn’t find anyone with whom I could play (and hopefully win) marbles, to use as slingshot ammunition. But for reasons I never questioned or investigated (but about which I’m very curious now), there was a small vineyard in the field behind our house, and I was able to climb over the fence and retrieve dozens of small, hard, green grapes. They turned out to be excellent ammunition … but I never did find any lizards.
9. A few months before my parents left for New York, I told them about the latest craze sweeping the neighborhood: “English bikes,” with three speeds, thin tires, and hand-brakes. I desperately wanted one, but Dad said it was far too expensive for him to buy as a frivolous gift for me: at the time, English bikes had an outrageous price tag of $25. I was told that I would have to earn the money myself if I wanted one … and the going rate for young, scrawny kids who shoveled sidewalks, pulled weeds from gardens, and did babysitting chores, was 25 cents per hour. That works out to 100 hours of work … but I did it, over the course of the next few months, and when I got to New York, the first thing I did was buy my English bike.
10. Toward the end of my 7th-grade school year, everyone in my class was subjected to a vision test: we were lined up in alphabetical order, and one-by-one read off a series of letters that we could barely see on a large placard taped onto the classroom blackboard. Because my surname starts with a “Y,” I was usually near the end of the line … and by the time I got to the front, I had usually memorized the letters (because they never bothered to change them, from one student to the next) without even realizing it consciously. But on this particular occasion in 7th grade, for some reason, they decided to line us up in reverse alphabetical order … and I was the first in line. For the first time in my life, I realized that I could not see anything of the letters, and that I was woefully near-sighted. When I got to New York, my parents took me to an optometrist to get my first set of glasses (and, yes, all of the neighborhood kids did begin taunting me immediately: “Four eyes! Four eyes!”) … and I’ve worn glasses ever since.
11. Three years after I arrived in New York, the glasses saved my vision when a home-brewed mix of gunpowder and powdered aluminum blew up in my face in the school chemistry lab (where I had an after-school volunteer job as a “lab assistant”). I suffered 2nd-degree burns on my face from the explosion, but the glasses protected my eyes. That, however, is a different story for a different time.
