My recommendation: do not climb the 8,839′ mountain. A 20-year-old woman just died when she slipped on the granite surface between the cables. The surface, slickened by many people who have tread there, is compared to a granite countertop. Yosemite and the foothills are loaded with this rock type.
British and Americans rescued survivors, bro. Can't say the same for others.
Seen here are party members in France refusing to give a customary handshake to a 22-year-old member of the National Rally party doing his historical duty. The refusal is symbolic of the depths to which leftists have sunk there, and here. It reminds me of Francis when he refused to let people kiss his ring, which is a sign of respect for office, and Pelosi when she tore up Trump's speech. (Ignore text overlay: a picture is worth a thousand words.) These are unchartered waters for me in an oversexualized world, so here we go. Lonely Catholic and non-Catholic men, both single and married, are in abundance on Reddit and YT. Unless men are playing contact sports, and men over 40 get injured, remoteness is common, and working men find little time to fraternize. One does not have to be a biological father. A way of expressing what I have to say led me to these images: the first shows fun and the second shows affection. left: good, Unsplash

He is the one who pulled the fire alarm at the House of Representatives building and almost got expelled. He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Please read the section on Ideology:

He says: "I am a retired Navy Captain who served for 25 years in Special Operations. I served on the front lines defusing bombs for our SEAL teams and Special Forces; I also conducted some of the most dangerous deep dives in the military." Facebook photo of family
Navy chaplain Father Luis Padilla gives last rites to a soldier wounded by sniper fire during a revolt in Venezuela in 1962. Braving the streets amid sniper fire to offer last rites to the dying, the priest encountered a wounded soldier, who pulled himself up by clinging to the priest’s cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. Photographer Héctor Rondón, who had to lie flat to avoid getting shot, later said that he was unsure how he managed to take the picture: “I found myself in solid lead for forty-five minutes … I was flattened against the wall while bullets were flying when the priest appeared … [Lying on the ground,] I don’t know how I took those pictures ….” Rondón photographed the government soldier crawling his way up Padilla’s cassock as Padilla looked in the direction of the rebel sniper fire. Description: Aid from the Padre Prizes: 1962 World Press Photo of the Year/1963 Pulitzer Prize for Photography This photo is not in the public domain in the US until 2045. If there is a copyright violation, please let me know. A priest's words and actions mean everything to the soldier. It is so oft reported that a soldier's last words are, "Tell my mother I love her." Our words in the face of that photograph mean nothing.

He gained fame for his photography during WWII and was killed by Japanese machine-gun fire at Peleliu, Palau, the southwest corner of Micronesia, on September 17, 1944, age 32, while filming a United States Marine advance. This film captured the boy himself, and I hope that republishing it here is respectful of the family.

Known for a 20-hour workday, he was appointed music teacher for the Infantes Antonio and Gabriel, sons of King Carlos III. He reminds me of John Vianney, known to hear confessions for 12-14 hours a day, which is quite a contrast to New Order churches where confessions are heard for one hour on Saturday. At Latin Mass churches confessions are heard every day. Title: Retrato de Carlos III, niño (Carlos III at nine)

A parent sent me this video of a self-driving car in San Francisco. The owner is Waymo, LLC, formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, an American autonomous driving technology company headquartered in Mountain View, CA. These cars are common in SF, and stop and hazard lights go on when an obstacle is encountered, and seem to have a problem near the street cars (MUNI light rail). I asked her if other drivers drive around them when that happens, and she said, "If there's room." The cars have limited human supervision. "This question was sparked recently when a Tesla Model S crashed into a parked fire truck in Los Angeles.[5] The driver claimed that the vehicle was in Autopilot mode at the time of the accident, and Tesla has since clarified that its Autopilot feature is not meant to be used without supervision. This incident highlights the need for more straightforward liability guidelines in autonomous vehicle accidents." https://www.thezebra.com/resources/car-insurance/self-driving-car-insurance/ Robert T. Lincoln, 78, son of Abraham Lincoln, was photographed in 1922 as he was assisted up the steps to attend the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. You can see that the white uniform was enhanced to sharpen lines or deal with some fading.

Allen Swift 1908-2010
This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years. Mr. Swift of Springfield, MA, received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P 1 Roadster from his father, brand new, as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death in 2010 at the age of 102. He was the oldest, living owner of a car purchased new. Donated to a Springfield museum, the car has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed, in perfect cosmetic condition at 82 years. That’s approximately 13,048 miles per year, or 1,087 miles per month. That’s British engineering for you from a bygone era. Courtesy of Rohit Singh, Quora |
