“Kids,” from EMERGENCY! (S2 E2), 1972.

This popular series featuring paramedics, a brand new concept at the time, showed the first named role for 18 year old John Travolta.

A co-worker of mine is trying to find a home for a two year old kitty. We’re in southeast North Carolina. If you’re interested or can help spread the word, we’re trying to keep her out of a shelter. Shots are current and she’s spayed as well. #catsofbluesky

Port quarter view of battleship North Carolina (BB-55).

The ship has since undergone extensive restoration of the hull; that “bathtub ring” of corrosion at the waterline has undergone complete replacement of the hull plating. Much of the superstructure and masts have been refurbished as well.

The D ration was basically a bitter chocolate bar with a high melting point. The bar was deliberately de-sweetened to discourage soldiers from snacking on them.

Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock can be seen with the white cap at center; it made finding the captain in dim lighting easier.

Battleship North Carolina in January this year doing a Tirpitz impersonation.

Those two stovepipe stacks amidships and the curved bridge structure are signature identifiers for this battleship class.
