DeGrazia wrote in a journal the “desert is spiritual, mysterious and religious. It is a big dream around a dream. Walk away from people into the desert, and soon you will find a deadly silence, loneliness, a vast emptiness. It is almost frightening. Then suddenly, like magic, you are not alone. Around you is felt a stirring of life, you have a feeling of a living desert, a very old desert.”
Happy Throwback Thursday!

A CH-46 Sea Knight flies over San Clemente Island, Feb. 12, during phase three of Exercise Iron Fist 2012, a bilateral training event between members of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. The ship-to-shore landing of the island was the culminating event of the exercise, where Marines, sailors and Japanese patrolled the island and conducted a live-fire exercise.

USS Peleliu At Sea - Service members, their families and friends view an air-power display aboard USS Peleliu, May 9. During the last leg of the deployment, guests came aboard the ship to experience life on the Peleliu and to learn what their Marine or sailor has accomplished during the past seven months. The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit is comprised of approximately 2,400 Marines and sailors and is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group. Together, they provide a forward-deployed, flexible sea-based Marine Air Ground Task Force capable of conducting a wide variety of operations ranging from humanitarian aid to combat.

This week we are going back seventeen years to 2017 and EV 17 on route 42B in Beresford Place.
Route 42B started running between the city centre and Harmonstown in 1958, going via Fairview, Artane and Gracefield Road. Around 1982, its terminus was moved to Blunden Drive. Thus it remained until 2011 (with a few minor alterations over the years), when the route was effectively renumbered to 27A under Network Direct.
EV 17 was new to Dublin Bus in 2007. It was one of one hundred Enviro 400s delivered between 2007 and 2008, and is one of the few still in service today.

With this week being E3, I was reminded of the way video game news was disseminated when I was growing up. Pictured here is issue #7 of Nintendo Power Flash magazine, which was Canada's version of USA's Nintendo Fun Club.
Women from the 187th Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, Wyoming Air National Guard, Cheyenne WY, ca. 1968-69.
Another discovery from my old albums, with post-processing in Lightroom 5.7 to normalise the exposure and colour tone.
This and one other photo were meaningful to me because they are reminiscent of a professor I had in college named Dr. Paul Siri Wilson. He was one of the most influential people in my life at that time and I think he would like this photo.

This week we are going back forty-one years to 1985, and to KC 57 parked on Pearse Street, dressed for route 46 to Rochestown Avenue.
Route 46 started running between the city centre and Stillorgan in 1925, before reaching Dun Laoghaire in 1926. In 1932 it was cut back to Cabinteely, with some services also serving Shankill. Around 1986, Shankill became the southern terminus. The route was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 2004.
KC 57 was new to CIE in 1984. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s.

This mixtape was made by my boy freshman year at Hampton University. He dubbed it the automatic panty dropper. (I was pretty helpless back then so it didn't really work so well for me) Either way, it is an excellent mix.
In the spirit if mixtapes and love and paris i made a little mixtape that is meant to be played right now, while you are at work trying to get some things done.
Exercise Iron Fist 2012
(Jan. 30, 2012)
A reconnaissance Marine with Alpha Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion jumps into the Pacific Ocean at the Red Beach training area during helocast training, Jan. 30. The event was a part of Exercise Iron Fist 2012, a bilateral training event with the Japanese, designed to increase interoperability between the two services. The purpose of helocasting is to insert troops over the horizon and have them come ashore to conduct reconnaissance missions. dvidshub.net/r/4rqclk

This week we are going back nine years to 2014 and to DM 2 on Rosie Hackett Bridge. DM 2 was a Wrights demonstrator bus on a Volvo B5LH hybrid chassis. It entered service with Dublin Bus in July 2014 for initially a six month trial period. It was the second hybrid bus Dublin Bus had trialled, although WH 1 had arrived in 2008 and left in 2012. DM 2 lasted with Dublin Bus well into 2015, leaving in the second-quarter of 2015. It then went on to National Express West Midlands in the UK, arriving there around September 2015, but was returned to Volvo in November of that year. It was then sold on to Go-Ahead London and is still in service there today as WHV 111 - flic.kr/p/2pejr1S.
The bus is operating a service on route 151 to Foxborough. This route started in 2007, initially operating between Docklands Station and Grange Castle, although it was soon extended to Adamstown. In 2009 it moved its Docklands terminus to East Road, providing an interchange with route 53. Under Network Direct in 2010 the route was moved to terminate at Foxborough instead of Adamstown, and still does so today.
The bus is crossing Rosie Hackett Bridge which opened in May 2014.
