On January 27, 1967, Apollo 1's crew--Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chaffee--was killed when a fire erupted in their capsule during testing. Apollo 1 was originally designated AS-204 but following the fire, the astronauts' widows requested that the mission be remembered as Apollo 1 and following missions would be numbered subsequent to the flight that never made it into space.

"As long as there's one person on earth who remembers you, it isn't over."
-Oscar Hammerstein from the Musical Carousel
I remember honoring my uncle Richard in my younger days, he was killed on Thanksgiving Day in Viet Nam the same year I was born. I remember honoring all those who passed before in the the Korean, WWII, WWI and the Civil War.
As I grew older, we started to honor the Peace Officers, Firefighters and relatives and friends, too. But, I have to say, even after honoring those in the first Gulf War, the one event that changed the way I realize the true significance of what Memorial Day is all about would have to be the one- seemingly, normal day of 9/11/2011. But, normal it would never be again. Since 9/11, the sacrifice of those lost in that day of National Tragedy, and the thousands lost since then in Afghanistan and Iraq really have given my heart and soul a sense what the day is all about. This photo is my expression of my feelings of my observance to all those lost, those who served and those who do still stand that post. God Bless America and Amen.
2 oz rye whiskey (Old Overholt)
3/4 oz sweet vermouth (Martini & Rossi)
1/4 oz cherry brandy (Cherry Heering)
1/2 tsp absinthe (Absente)
Stir well with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
This is a fantastic cocktail, perhaps my new favorite drink (or my new favorite drink for this week, anyway). It's basically another variation on the Manhattan, similar to the Kentucky Royale that I posted a few weeks ago. While sipping this I came to realize that the garnish here is more than simply window dressing; it actually adds something to the drink. Some recipes I've seen use a cherry, but the drink is sweet enough as is, and the subtle lemon aroma helps to brighten it up a bit. I'm not sure that Absente qualifies as absinthe, but it's similarly potent and has a very strong anise kick, so it makes for an able substitute. (I hesitate to spend >$50 on an ingredient that I'm only likely to use on rare occasions by the half-teaspoonful, so a 50ml bottle of Absente works just fine.)
Source: See both Paul Clarke (Serious Eats) and Jay Hepburn (Oh Gosh!). See also Eric Alperin, of Los Angeles bar The Varnish, who gives this the Sazerac treatment (spraying the glass with absinthe rather than mixing it directly into the drink).

'The men lying on the green
at the end of every house that was,
the girls a wood of birches,
straight their backs, bent their heads.
Between the Leac and Fearns
the road is under mild moss
and the girls in silent bands
go to Clachan as in the beginning,'
Sorley MacLean 1911 - 1996.

We both try to attend events such as this to remember our fellow officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.

I remember this shot because of all of the lightning bugs. It took me nearly three days of post editing to remove them before I could reveal this interesting star trail. Many thanks goes out to Dorthy who was kind enough to allow this shoot. What a wonderful place she has!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in with a Sunday Selfie...I may make this my weekly habit, and still do one every now and then during the week too.
Life has been pretty busy lately. Work is going well overall, we got a new manager at work who I think will be much better to work with than the guy we've had for the last year. The new guy is a bit more of a people person, and he seems to have a good deal of respect for those of us who have paid our dues and put in lots of time at the dealership.
Liina has been busy finishing up some of the wedding photos she did last month, so now I just need to convince her to put some up or let me put them up for her. We are currently working on a website for her through Zenfolio, and I hope to have everything finished on it before she leaves to go see her mom in Europe in 2 weeks.
Speaking of that, I'll definitely be around a bit more during the first week of her trip, as I'll be taking "vacation" time at work and just chillin' out with the dogs & pets at home while she is gone. I should have plenty of time to take pics that week and I plan on doing some urban exploration shooting while I have the time off :)
Hope you guys are all having a great weekend, sorry if I haven't been around much, but I'll try to do some catching up soon :D

Remember Santa, We are all Santa's and all in the likeness of Christ. Cher
Remember this,
Santa lives at the North Pole...
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year...
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies...
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.
You have to wait in line to see Santa...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?"...
JESUS knew our name before we were born. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly...
JESUS has a heart full of love
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."
Santa's little helpers make toys...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree...the cross.
