Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Don't know Rizzo.
Wil was from Menlo Park, California.
He was killed on Feb 8th, 1970, by a drunk CIDG soldier under his command.
The CIDG soldier was locked in a Conex container that had been converted into a cell with small windows cut into its sides.
During the night, someone dropped a fragmentation grenade through one of those windows.

First baseman for the Cubs. Not a twin but in my opinion a strong family resemblance.

I had to Google CIDG. All I can say is... I'm very sorry about Wil. He didn't deserve that. On the other hand, the scumbag CIDG soldier deserved exactly what he got.RobesonsRme.com wrote:Don't know Rizzo.

From a photography point of view, this photo is incredible. Now, connect the Wall and its meaning, to how good the photograph is and it is overwhelming.bestgear wrote:One of the sights I will miss when I leave DC this year - sigh

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
When we moved here in 1979, this camellia bush was about head high.
We've had a blast of warm weather here lately and it's bloomed a bit early. Already been frost bitten since I took this picture a week ago.
There's a white one out back that looks about the same.
Sarah cuts these blooms off with a bit of leaves included and puts them in a shallow bowl of water on the kitchen table.

Just yesterday I saw a photo of an eagle flying away with a good size goat. Hope it was photo shopped.

Nice picture , Roger.
When I lived in Montana I frequently saw Bald eagles and Golden eagles.
Quick Steel, eagles do not fly off with goats.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Thank you Joseph, I can sleep well now. I am prone to worry about goats. And if you believe that.....On the other hand I saw films of a South American eagle take a giant sloth right off th side of a tree and carry it off. These sloths are big creatures. Another film: a bald eagle got himself killed by locking his talons into a fish that was too large for him. Couldn't ge loose and drowned.

Read something online that said a Bald Eagle can lift about 4 pounds max.
