Humming Birds, Viet Nam and a Tornado

August 26, 2010




Well, it is Thursday already. The weekend is just about here.



Check out these photos from The Christian Science Monitor. You will have to copy and paste into your browser’s address line if double-clicking doesn’t work. They are pretty neat.

I see where the I-88 and Peace Road interchanges will be closing down in September. Not all at once but staggered. The Daily Chronicle has more details at http://www.daily-chronicle.com/

Check out the Humming Birds. Isn’it A Wonderful World

Subject: : Hummingbirds...Magic in the Air.

Allow some time. This is pretty long-but-interestingly enjoyable to many. Particularly the nature lovers out there.

This is footage that you will probably never see anywhere else.

A fantastic look at Hummingbirds using High Definition cameras

For an abrupt change of subjects but to an important one:

THE VIET NAM WAR WAS HELL FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVED THROUGH THAT WAR AND TIME. I HAD A DRAFT LOTTERY NUMBER BUT WAS NOT CALLED. CHECK OUT THE INFORMATION BELOW:



This is something







First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.



This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.



I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.



The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war

with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that timeframe, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site. Pass the link on to others if you like.

I had a cousin, Paul Woolford, from Streator, IL killed in Viet Nam. It was a tough thing to go through for an eleven year old boy but, life goes on.



Speaking of Streator, IL copy and paste or double-click, however you can open it, the website below. It concerns the tornado in Streator, IL June 5, 2010. June 5th happens to be I and my wife’s anniversary. I was born in Streator, IL, she was not.



The world can be a wonderful, beautiful place and an ugly destructive place, all at the same time.
