History Dame

The original dame behind History in Under a Minute, History on the Road. Views = Me. Unsure how much I’ll use this account but at least I made it!
Today, we pause to honor every man and woman who raised their hand, took the oath, and served.
Each Veteran carried the same promise: to protect our freedom, even at the highest cost.
To all who served—thank you.

I recognize I haven’t posted much here and I apologize for that!
Some context—I post in the morning before work and that requires me to post the night before and save as a draft.
BS doesn’t allow drafts and I rarely have time in the morning to do long threads.
I hope to have a solution soon!

I will try something new to revamp my social media and cover more topics. Important note that everything below is secondary to This Day in History. I’ll always post major historical anniversaries first.
So here are my ideas below, and I’m open to your feedback!

Yesterday, I went on a day trip to do some antiquing.
On my drive, I started the American History Tellers podcast from the beginning. I’ve listened to their recent series but never returned to their first ones.

Today, 2 February, marks the official first session of the U.S. Supreme Court. While the court was originally meant to convene on 1 February, 1790, only three of the six justices were present, delaying the official opening.

That’s a real bummer.

I’m enjoying a long weekend away—the few times I’m not doing anything history related, and I’m going to attempt (key word) to limit myself on social media.
So I may not be posting for a few days but I’ll be back next week!

90 years ago, on 11-12 January, 1935, Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland (Oakland, CA)—a flight of 2,408-miles. The flight was 19 hours.
Unfortunately, two years later, in 1937, Earhart would make history again for her disappearance over the Pacific.

I’ll be honest the most frustrating thing about blue sky is that you can’t save drafts, which is crucial for me.

She’s done! My M4A3E2 Battle of the Bulge model is completed just in time for my first snow day.
I love that I finished this during the 80th anniversary.
I did a lot of weathering on this one and finding the balance of the perfect amount of snow was difficult.
You can see close ups of my track

I started this model last year but decided that I was going to finish it this winter, the 80th anniversary.
Now that the holidays have passed, I can finish it!

Something I heard today:
If you consider yourself self-aware but only focus on the things you need to change and not the things you do well—you are not self-aware, you’re just mean to yourself.
Excuse me while I go sit with this thought for a while.

80 years ago as the world rang in 1945, no one knew much larger celebrations were to come with VE and VJ Day!
A reminder no matter how you ended the previous year, a new year is filled with endless possibilities.
My ONLY goal for 2025 is to be 1% better everyday.
Happy New Year!

It is a gorgeous day where I am at, the kind of day that you take your car for a wash and detailing, open some windows for fresh air, and turn the volume up on your music.
My playlist today consists of Sam Cooke, Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the like.
Making the most of the remaining days for 2024
