My “Dad”

Chris and Carol 1 Comment

My father-in-law Frank at work (Pratt & Whitney Aircraft) in 1993. He worked for “Pratt” for 40 years and was a top-flight welder of jet engines. Frank’s still going strong at 85! Here’s to you dad!

Frank was a foremost J58 engine welder for nearly his entire career at P&W

This logo (above) is known as the “Florida” eagle which is installed on the J58 turbojet engines used in the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft and on the RL10 liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine used in the Centaur rocket.

Beach Renourishment on Amelia Island

Chris and Carol 2 Comments

A never-ending process of replenishing lost sand along our barrier island. The sand is dredged from the St. Marys channel and then pumped on to the beach where heavy duty bulldozers then spread the sand. These operations will go on 24/7 for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

This young lady has a great future! Brilliant!

Way to go, Sarah! Keep up the push for meaningful changes that will save lives – NOW!

Vote him OUT!

How much money is needed Mr. Rubio to get you to represent OUR interests instead of the NRA? Should we hold a bake sale for you??? The slaughter at the Pulse nightclub didn’t phase you a bit – standing on stage with the families of the kids who were murdered didn’t move you at all. You are one COLD HEARTED $.O.B.!

“They are so easy to buy”! Shame on you Mr. Rubio – putting YOUR bank account ahead of the lives of children!

It’s just unbelievable to us why they protect the NRA ($$$$$$$$$$$$$) like this over the safety of the rest of us – wait, we have a right to exist free from the fear of execution by guns! Our right to exist “trumps” your desire to own an AR-15 style weapon… period!

Peace and Love

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.
