Nice, and they keep multiplying. And I thought Ridgecrest was earthquake country. 6.9 & 7.4 in 2019, shaken not stirred. TFS Cliff

While perusing some old photos, I came across this photo from 2010 that was taken while riding in a tour buss across the Italian Alps. Upon arriving back home I tried cleaning it up, adjusting colour, etc. Finally gave up and forgot about it until recently. Located, cropped and converted to B&W and was able to remove some clutter in the foreground and, this was the result.

And our 1st astronauts were sent aloft in systems, equipment, processes and procedures created by engineers and scientists using slide rules. mechanical calculators, and pencils and paper, how did they ever get them to the moon and back????
I had a heck of time with fractions and my Mom being practical and creative used a pie. not pi, to illustrate how fractions worked. It worked and we ate the leftovers. 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, slices, and using the different combinations of pie would equal what ever the answer should be. Some people need a visual connection to a group abstract numbers, then you get an ah ha moment.....

This needs a bump for any new Pentax shooters. Oh by the way, I just picked up a barely used, no dust or fingerprints, Panasonic DC ZS 70 because it has a viewfinder and it fits in a large pocket. I keep it in my truck for those times when I don't have the K3 along. Happy shooting to new and mature Pentaxians........Cliff

Now that sign has character, a little touch-up would not hurt. May it be around for another 50 or so years. TFS Cliff

This little toy depicts what happens when a Sidewinder Missile detonates at the target. Decorating the entrance to the community center in Ridgecrest. The Naval Weapons Test Center where the Sidewinder Missile was developed is a couple of miles north of the sculptures.

Never heard of it either, 83. However 1966 Beverly Hill Mustang Ranchero conversions done under Ford license.
See the link for more info. I actually saw a red/black conversion that brought into where I was working at the time for a rekey. I think it was a barn find, kind of rough around the edges but, the real deal.
