April 9, 2008. Here I am at a booth at the Advanced Learning Technologies conference in Fredericton.
The situation with Odette's very minor wounds has gotten out of control, so now she's bandaged not only around the neck, but all the way around the right side of her head, as well. Unfortunately, I even had to bandage over one ear, because there was just no other way to cover the wounds. The combination of bandage and e-collar pretty much renders her paralyzed from despair. As if this wasn't bad enough, we're having to keep her crated a lot of the time so she'll leave it alone and we can keep Jack away from her, because him licking her wounds is like just rubbing them with sandpaper.
The kids found a baby bird coming out of its egg on the ground below its nest in an old abandoned building. They of course wanted to keep it. We put it in the nest..probably didn't help but we just couldn't leave it there like that. Poor thing was opening its little mouth..they were pretty bummed for a bit.
Jamie and I volunteered for the 2010 "Full Scale Drill" at IAH. News Coverage The FAA requires the airport to simulate a disaster every three years, exercising all the components that would respond to a real disaster. That means fire fighters, rescue teams, and even surrounding hospitals.
The volunteers had scripted roles. Jamie's was a head wound, knee laceration, and internal injuries. Mine was to be almost unhurt, but to wander about offering to assistance: I knew "first aid". It was interesting to role play this, because I was pretty meddlesome until an assistant chief came over and suggested that I could be most helpful sitting over there (out of the way) and watching this unconscious person. He led me to a baggage cart, where I was sat down next to a guy unable to move.
There were all sorts of repercussions, like my being grouped with the "delayed treatment" group instead of the "walking wounded". I was thus sent to a hospital in front of more injured people. There, my role was to tell the nurses and doctors that I was fine, and that others' needed treatment first. Seeing their reaction was interesting.
Finally, it occurred to me that had I really been in this disaster, I would want to know where Jamie was. So I asked the nurses to please find out. That was good for them, because while their planned response covered almost everything, they never thought about how to handle separated partners. Now it will.
I was really impressed with all the responders. They were serious and did a great job. I don't think any of them had been briefed beforehand that this was planned. I know the staff at the hospital was told only ten minutes before we arrived that a simulated plane crash had happened and that a bus load of injured people were coming.
At the plane, it was sobering to watch rescue staff placing objects on top of the dead, marking them as such. A plastic torso got a bottle of water. A volunteer had a suitcase put on him. There were a LOT of dead.
Overall, it was a great way to spend half a day. We did good and had fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
The words really say it all, doesn't it? This is the alternate view of the collapsed Packard Plant in Detroit -- also viewed from this fisheye perspective. There some neat conversation in that thread as well relating to scrappers and the collapse.
This is my seventeenth shot in my Project: Detroit Lives series.
Sat in a muddy field, waiting to pick my daughter up from Glastonbury. Spotted this poor unfortunate whose Fiat had broken down. The AA man got it going quickly though. Just liked the distorted view through my wet windscreen.
I could say you have to expect your new Fiat to break down, it does stand for Fix IT Again Tone
the seat ones are rebuilt and all test good. These will be a tougher challenge I need to clean the gunk then use a solution to clean the copper. The broken one was the one missing the switch in the door. It will be a challenge. I do have the top half, found it in the glove box.
The Nileometer at Kom Ombo. This was used in ancient times to measure the height of the annual flood. If it was a good flood and the fields were covered, it meant a high tax was imposed. If it was a poor flood and the fields remained dry, it meant less or no tax at all.
I rode in a motorcycle rally and we got bonus points for sitting on the
longhorn in Luckenbach. As if I needed any reason to sit on a bull!
From left to right: Amelia, Moriah, and Elija (cousin to the two girls) were getting ready to go to church and poor Elija thought we were not going to take him (later Moriah comforted him, here's a link to that photo: www.flickr.com/photos/78428166@N00/254516086/ )
This poor girl came to me in a lot of other vintage dolls a few months ago. I'm not sure if she is a number 3 or 4....she has a heavy body. She really needs help. Some sicko broke off most of her fingers on both hands, and cut her hair off. Thankfully she still has her curly bangs, but I don't know how or if her hands can be fixed.
taking a hard core street photographer out of the downtown core of toronto and temporarily relocating her to new mexico is a bit cruel.. i'm going to try and make it up to her by taking her to tokyo in two weeks and to san francisco... but the fact is that there is no "hard core street photography" in albuquerque.. i think the best you get is "soft core sport utility vehicle window photography"... oh well, go with what you've got.
This afternoon I took one of our elderly, ailing kitties to the vet. It seemed like the thing to do. But I could have done without paying $170 to hear the "giant hairball" theory. Still, I'm relieved that she's doing relatively well, all things considered.
u can see the light source here.. but why there is some darkness?! .. these kind of events take place in the Society every day.. .. poors get poorer and richs get richer every time:o

Two horses in the field at the bottom of my garden.
Near enough blizzard conditions with about 70mm of dry, powdery snow on the ground.
This field is on the north side of the old Jacobean 'Padley Hall.'
