Remember this?
Rasberry picking this summer with Zen. We were going to go mountain boarding, but it was the British championships, so we went fruit picking. It was sweltering hot. Wish it was now.
If anyone has noticed, I changed my name this week. It'll be back to 'Step Into The Light' before long.

Target of Opportunity: Nijmegen (NL).
Main target was Gotha in Germany and a second target Eschwege (also in Germany). Both failed, so the bombs were dropped on Nijmegen, where the railways sites were target.
Alas the city center was destroyed, with over 800 civilian victims.
These metal signs mark the area of fires. With names of the victims, as far as known
Even many years after WW2 it was "not done" to speak about this allied bombardment.

A day of rememberance organized by the refugees and their supporters, including Arab organizations and the Jewish group Zochrot.
As the sign on the left reads:
The Spanish-American War began April 24, 1898 and eventually led to the downfall of the Spanish Empire. Spain's dominance of Cuba and the Philippine Islands came to an end. The armistice was signed August 12, 1898.
These plaques were cast and sold to raise money to finance American participation in the war. There was no such thing as an income tax in the U.S. until 1913.
The small note in the middle reads:
Donor: Gerald Sooley, Danville, Illinois
Gift: Spanish-American War Memorial Plaque, cast from metal recovered from the wreckage of the USS Maine, which was destroyed in Havana Harbor, February 15, 1898. 17 1/2" x 12 3/4". actually made in 1913.
As the sign on the right reads:
Remember the Alamo
Remember the Maine
Remember Pearl Harbor
On January 24, 1898, the battleship USS Maine was order by President McKinley to anchor in the harbor at Havana, Cuba because of the tension between the United States and Spain. Cuba was under Spanish control then and it's people wanted independence. On February 15, 1898, the Maine was sunk and 206 American lives were lost. At the time, it was believed the ship had been sunk by a Spanish torpedo or mine.

Photo taken in Fresno, California, on January 17, 2011. A march was held in downtown Fresno, to honor Dr. King. I decided to publish the images in black and white, to make them match the times of Dr. King. i think they look more dramatic this way, and hopefully help get the message of the dream out. My wife , Letty, joined in the march, while I took photos, and video.
Seeing all that freshly chopped wood laying around I remembered that Mandala Monday was coming up so I grabbed up a bunch and started to work. The pumpkin lends a "flame" effect to it ;-)
I remember when I would fight my brother and sisters for the car window in our fake wood paneled station wagon as we'd drive from Missouri to Utah to visit my grandparents. I remember my father following my mother down the freeway in the car while she walked cause she couldn't take it in the car any more. I hope my kids remember this.

Remember, remember,
The Fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot;
For I see no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Remember Them
Yes, we will remember them,
Year after year.
We'll weep and we'll wail for them,
Tear after tear.
We'll feel oh so sad for them,
Dear after dear.
We'll lay poppied wreaths for them,
Peer after peer.
We'll "hip-hip-hooray" for them,
Cheer after cheer.
We'll spin a grand speech for them,
"Hear" after "hear".
We'll all have a drink to them,
Beer after beer.
But, why can't we learn from them?
Spear after spear.
