Letter from the USS Parche

nobody@vox.com(Allyson) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:58:45 +0000

Copyright under the CC BY:SA 3.0+ license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) by George Oliver Atkinson Jr and his descendants. Letter number 26 sent from my maternal grandfather to my maternal grandmother while he was en route to Bikini Atoll. Scanned in by my Uncle, who provided the following additional information: 1) The circled number in the lower left corner was a method used by my grandparents to refer to particular letters from the other one when writing back, and also so that the recipient could read them in the order they were written - the delivery was spotty and on both ends of the mail - letters would arrive out of order, in clumps, or none at all, even if you mailed one a day at the same time. 2) The post mark from the sub's post office has the official US NAVY Submariners insignia (2 dolphin fish around the conning tower of a sub). A sailor could wear this insignia (cloth for enlisted, metal for officers, I think) only after completing Sub Qualifications - about a year of schooling. 3) The address where my grandmother was staying there in Lincoln, Nebraska was the home of Grandma Lu, my great-great-grandmother, after whom I am named. 4) Notice that he included "CROSSROADS" in his return address - the tests themselves were not secret, just the results, we figure.

Flower for 3rd-place finish in poster comp at MGED 11

nobody@vox.com(Allyson) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:53:57 +0100

Taken on September 4, 2008 (via mobile phone). Ok, so it's a little blurry. But my phone really isn't up to much. It was a great meeting, and thanks to the judges and the organizers for having the poster competition, and for awarding me third place. And for giving me such a pretty flower! Please note this photo is publicly visible.

Lake Garda and Riva del Garda from the Bastione

nobody@vox.com(Allyson) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:53:18 +0100

Taken on 3 September 2008 (via mobile phone). This is my favorite view from the Bastione. It shows the edge of Riva del Garda, and if you follow the coastline, you'll see a lovely jogging route. Please note this photo is publicly visible.

A Portion of Saturn's B Ring

nobody@vox.com(Allyson) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:23:34 +0100

A portion of Saturn's B-ring. Taken from http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071024.html. Credits of this photo include NASA, and as the APOD website says, "NASA images are in the public domain" (see http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/lib/about_apod.html). I highly recommend the Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Taken on September 5, 2007. A fantastic example of the use of the (super) macro on the Fuji S9500 - from across the room, no less!
