Bütün işlerime oruç tutturup sadece hat yazmak istiyorum... Çünkü bu hat başka sevda kabul etmiyor. Benimse üstümde elimde kolumda başımda bi sürü iş.

It reaffirmed Portugal’s possession of the Algarve and defined the modern borders between the two Iberian countries.

Kendrick Harrison Madison, 1919-2010: A member of “The Greatest Generation”

Remembering and honoring my stepfather, a member of the Greatest Generation.

Kendrick, “Kenny,” was my stepfather. He and his wife and family lived in the community where I grew up in New York, East Elmhurst, an African American middle class/professional enclave in North Queens, near LaGuardia Airport. He and my father were good friends. When my father was sick in his last years, Kenny came every day to spend time with him. In fact, Kenny brought us the news that my…

First Snow of August - August 2023 On our way from Lake Watson to Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Just past Johnson Creek, we went through a mountain pass. It was only a little above 2500 feet, but suddenly we were in the middle of snow, ice, and ice fog. The snow-bearing ice fog / cloud came rolling down the side of the mountain depositing well over an inch of snow and ice on the roadway. Units traveling slightly in front of us reported softball-sized, very soft hail, pounding them as they went through. The units a little in front of them reported all dry pavement with no odd weather. Luckily the pavement itself remained relatively dry beneath our wheels so there were no crashes or vehicles off the road. It was just a chance for some interesting August images. MWM

TW self harm

So I like many people was a depressed little teen on Tumblr back in the day and now as an adult who hasn't done that in like at least 6 years. Sometimes I find myself like wanting to again, when I'm in a weird mood (not even necessarily feeling depressed) or listening to music similar to that time. Sometimes it's like a reflex, or comfort, or like rote memory. I don't know if this is anything anyone else has felt, but like I don't want to self harm but like my body is still affected by the hard wiring that happens as a child.

Anyway Its an odd sort of time that I don't think I can vocalise to anyone bc it definitely sounds worrying, but like I genuinely can't imagine doing that anymore, it's just not something that makes sense like it did when I was younger. But it's still something I can feel, like my brain draws out the line on my skin where I would, but that's it.

Anyway just throwing some thoughts into the void. Thanks Tumblr, you've always been good for that

Alaska Highway, CDN (No. 3)

On September 24, 1942, crews from both directions met at Mile 588 at what became named Contact Creek, at the British Columbia-Yukon border at the 60th parallel; the entire route was completed October 28, 1942, with the northern linkup at Mile 1202, Beaver Creek, and the highway was dedicated on November 20, 1942, at Soldier's Summit.Replica log bridge at Aishihik River crossing

Although it was completed on October 28, 1942, and its completion was celebrated at Soldier's Summit on November 21 (and broadcast by radio, the exact outdoor temperature censored due to wartime concerns), the "highway" was not usable by general vehicles until 1943. Even then there were many steep grades, a poor surface, switchbacks to gain and descend hills, and few guardrails. Bridges, which progressed during 1942 from pontoon bridges to temporary log bridges, were replaced with steel bridges where necessary. A replica log bridge, the Canyon Creek bridge, can be seen at the Aishihik River crossing; the bridge was rebuilt in 1987 and refurbished in 2005 by the Yukon government where it functions as a popular tourist attraction. The easing of the Japanese invasion threat resulted in no more contracts being given to private contractors for upgrading of specific sections.

Some 100 miles (160 km) of route between Burwash Landing and Koidern, Yukon, became nearly impassable in May and June 1943 due to permafrost thawing under the road and destroying the layer of delicate vegetation that held the road together. A corduroy road was built to restore the route, and corduroy still underlies old sections of highway in the area. Modern construction methods do not allow the permafrost to thaw, either by building a gravel berm on top or replacing the vegetation and soil immediately with gravel. The Burwash-Koidern section, however, is still a problem as the new highway built there in the late 1990s continues to experience frost heave.

Pincers on Japan and Look to the North, both 1944 productions, were National Film Board of Canada documentaries that depicted the construction of the Alaska Highway.
