Scott Yoak ~ P-51 Quick Silver
"At only 20 years old, Scott Yoak was checked out in the legendary WWII fighter, the P-51D “Quick Silver” Mustang. Scott now performs up to 20 air shows per year and is widely known as one of the best pilots flying WWII-era aircraft today."
From "Featured Performers" The Great State of Maine Air Show
The P-51 has a special significance for me. This was the aircraft my uncle was testing in WW II when he went down over the Irish Sea.

Quick sequence of three young women walking along by the canal today, one having problems with her face mask. Apologies for being a bit rough, all shot on the hoof and zooming as I walked, just kept trying to re-focus, zoom and click again (while avoiding other people walking around me!)
I changed into my blue dress on election night not because of any political affiliation but because I hadn't worn it in a while. It turns out that the choice of colour was a bit prophetic.
Anyway its late and I couldn't be bothered to stage any pictures and this was taken before I put the camera away. I must make a note to put this dress on again soon
hummingbirg hawk moth, so difficult to catch, not as sharp as i would like, but so so difficult to shoot, they are like the usain bolt of the moth world,
respect to all you people out there who can get pin sharp shots of fast moving things like this, but age and useless eyes slow me down, oh and the large amounts of wine i drank on this particular day did not help i suppose lol

Rather like The Queen, the KC-135 seems to have been omnipresent during my life.
And the '135 too, has performed many roles, the premier one being as an air-to-air tanker. But a dedicated fleet had to be operated to carry the JP-7 fuel required for the Lockheed SR-71, and these were designated KC-135Q.
91504 was one of 56 so converted and was one of several that later became KC-135Ts with the fitting of modern engines.

This is a very easy blanket that works up very fast using an N size hook and 2 strands of yarn at the same time . I used Lion Brand "pound of love" yarn in Pink and White. The pattern is from crochetpatterncentral.com and the pattern is called "bubbles baby blanket" and can be found in the "baby afghans" section. It's an awesome pattern! It's so thick and soft , like a little comforter .

Douglas, AZ (est. 1905, pop. ~16,500) • founded as a copper smelting site with a border crossing at Mexican sister city Agua Prieta (pop. 79,138) • "Coming and going between the two cities was 'like walking across the street.'" —Ray Borane, Douglas native & former mayor, "Border Towns Spit Asunder"
• by the end of the 20th c. the area had become the nation's busiest point for illegal crossings • Douglas hosts the annual binational Concert Without Borders [photos]
----------
• 2-story plus basement, brick & wood Mission Revival style bldg. [vintage photos] • designed by Germany-born architect, Theodore C. Link (1850-1923), whose commissions included a number of railroad-related buildings such as Union Station in St. Louis, Link's home base • a 1-story gym extension, designed by Trost & Trost, El Paso, was added in 1918
• built as a YMCA recreational facility to serve employees of the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad & the town's general public, which also used it for social events • originally had tennis courts & baseball diamonds • membership during the early decades of the 20th c. averaged around 1,000 men & boys • operated by the Phelps Dodge copper mining company
• erected on what was then Railroad Avenue, across the street from the Douglas tenderloin, a seedy, crime-ridden district of saloons, dance halls, bordellos & gambling joints • the area was policed by the local constable, the Cochise County sheriff and the the 30-man Arizona Rangers unit based 27 mi. away in Bisbee • Douglas quickly became known as the "toughest town on the border"
"Since so many of her earlier workers were men unattached by family ties, Douglas felt the full impact of a western atmosphere that had all but died out in other sections of the state. For a half-decade, Douglas became one of the last gathering places for the West's diminishing lawless element."
"Saloon after saloon opened and in a year's time the town had at least 15 such establishments."—The History of Douglas, Arizona, Robert Stone Jeffrey, 1951
• Thomas Harbo Rynning (1866-1941), captain of the Arizona Rangers, was a Norwegian immigrant who had served with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War • because most of the crime & vice the Rangers were fighting was in Douglas, Captain Rynning decided to make it their home base, establishing headquarters in a long adobe room • stationed near the Douglas smelters & Bisbee mines, the Rangers remained available to break union strikes [photo] —AZ Ranger History
• Rynning described Douglas crime as the worst in the West:
"Cattle thieves, murderers, all the worst hombres of the United States and Mexico make their headquarters there. The dance-halls were the worst I've ever seen on any frontier. Most of them was run by men who'd plenty of notches on their guns, and their hangers-on we're all just plain poison.
'It wasn't nowadays safe even for an officer of the law to walk along Tenth St. or Sixth after dark. Robberies were going on everywhere. People were being killed even in the hotels. At least half the deputy sheriffs where blackleg gamblers and killers.
'It was up to us to bring law and order to that man's town, and I'll admit I was dubious about making a good job of it. But that's what we was there for and we had to tackle it. In the beginning I told my rangers to get their guns out of sight whenever they was in town. I wanted the decent people to have confidence in us.
'Whenever a train pulled into Douglas's those days, there will be a string of deputy sheriffs hanging round the depot with their six-shooters hung on their off hips like young cannons, Add a blind man could see they was mostly a dam' hard outfit. I wanted my boys to be different.'"
"'I've been in many a tough town in my day, but from Deadwood to Tombstone I have never met up with a harder formation than Douglas was when we made the Arizona Rangers' home corral there in 1902." —Thomas H. Rynning, Gun Notches: A Saga of Frontier Lawman, 1931
• the war on crime at Douglas was joined by the area's chief federal immigration officer, who announced that although any Mexican of sound body & deemed unlikely to become a govt. charge was free to enter & leave the U.S. at will, Agua Prieta women attempting to cross the border to work in the Douglas tenderloin red light district would now be turned back • red lights were required by law on all buildings housing prostitutes
• a year after the Rangers' arrival, a raging fire in the district threatened to immolate the entire town • ignited by a lighted lamp,
hurled at a guest by an inebriated "native" prostitute:
“A high wind was blowing, and the entire male population of the town was present and pressed into service to extinguish the flames… This prevented the spread of the blaze to the business portion of the town. The buildings destroyed were the Copper Belt theatre, Fashion saloon, Elite restaurant, Cowboy saloon and two long rooming houses of about twenty-five room (sic) each." —Albuquerque Citizen, 19 Feb 1903
• the old YMCA Building continued in use into the 1950's • National Register # 84000647, 1984
