The stone of Jessie, Millie, and Mitty Beebe, ages 2, 4, and 7. They died within a month of each other of typhus in 1863. It used to be common enough. The TDAP vaccine prevents this.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday to those who celebrate. Let's see your Superb #Owls. (This barred owl had just swooped down on something in my back yard.)

My grandfather never made it to that front, but he had a pack of photos from there. Perhaps you could identify these dapper gentlemen. He had photos of French and Italian officers and soldiers.

Here's a cheerful Alpini for you. From a cache of my grandfather's photos from #WW1

The grave of Jessie, Mitty, and Millie Beebe, who died within a month of each other in 1863 of typhus, aged 2, 4, and 7. Totally preventable today with the TDAP vaccine.

Here's a Civil War era rifling machine at the Precision Museum. Note the engine turning patterns on the flat surfaces, the curved internal guides, and the smoothly finished T handle on the end.
