Not bad for the first bit of snow in the mountains near LA.

Nice to see more areas opening back up after recovery from the damage caused by the 2020 Bobcat fire (you can see where the fire line was on the ridge in the panorama).

Pictures from the #Wardruna concert at #theGreekTheater in #LosAngeles a week ago. It was such a fantastic show.

I just got back from a trip. I guess California was saying welcome back. The shaking wasn't too strong here but I did hear my blinds rattle.

He was best buds with Zipper and Gus, regularly plopping down next to them to snuggle. When Zipper wasn't feeling well, he stayed by his side. He loved hopping onto my lap during video conferences to snuggle and lick my arm.

He was the sweetest cat in the world. Every person and animal was a potential friend to him, he feared no one. Even the vets commented about how calm he was, their biggest challenge was trying to listen to his heart over his purring.

Fascists always need a scapegoat to justify their continued existence. Don't ever fall for it.
IN GERMANY THEY FIRST CAME FOR THE COMMUNISTS AND I DIDN'T SPEAK UP BECAUSE I WASN'T A COMMUNIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS, AND I DIDN'T SPEAK UP BECAUSE I WASN'T A JEW. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS, AND I DIDN'T SPEAK UP BECAUSE I WASN'T A TRADE UNIONIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE CATHOLICS, AND I DIDN'T SPEAK UP BECAUSE I WAS A PROTESTANT. THEN THEY CAME FOR ME-AND BY THAT TIME NO ONE WAS LEFT TO SPEAK UP. -PASTOR MARTIN NIEMOLLER Prior to and throughout World War II, Hitler's Nazi party developed a classification system to identify those people the Nazis regarded as undesirable. Citizens and concentration camp prisoners were labeled with triangles according to religion, sexual preference, ideology and numerous other distinctions. These symbols included: Yellow on Yollow (Star of David): Jews Brown: Gypsies Purple: Jehovah Witnesses Black: Vagrants and Lesbians Blue: Emigres Pink: Homosexuals Green: Habitual Criminals Red: Political Prisoners - Communists, Socialists

I just recently got back into playing Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice after getting sidetracked and not finishing it in 2018. I'm now playing it on a newer PC and it is stunning with the added enhanced graphics support for ray tracing, DLSS and HDR.

It is important to remember, we as a nation are capable of truly terrifying things. We must never forget what we have done, and never repeat our past.
The Manzanar cemetery soul consoling tower monument. Memorial items including strings of paper cranes can be seen draped on the rope barrier behind it. After the camp closed most families moved the remains of loved ones but in the distance are the graves of several adults and children that still remain. The snow capped Sierra mountains can be seen in the background. A sign about the Manzanar cemetery with the following text Manzanar National Historic Site Sacred Space Life at Manzanar was uncertain, but the prospect of dying behind barbed wire, far from home, may have been unthinkable. On May 16, 1942, Matsunosuke Murakami, 62, became the first of 150 men, women, and children to die in camp. He and 14 others, most infants and older men without families, were laid to rest in this cemetery outside the barbed wire fence in an old peach orchard from Manzanar's farming era. Here, in the shadow of majestic Mt. Williamson, their somber funerals and memorials were attended by hundreds of mourners. While some deceased were sent to hometown cemeteries, most were cremated and their ashes held in camp until their families left Manzanar. Giichi Matsumura, an internee who died in 1945 while exploring the Sierra, is buried high in the mountains above you. Today, only six graves here, including Matsunosuke Murakami's, contain remains; families requested the removal of others after the war. I REI TO The Japanese Kanji characters read Soul Consoling Tower." Master stonemason Ryozo Kado, a Catholic. and Buddhist minister Shinjo Nagatomi designed this iconic monument as a permanent tribute to Manzanar's dead, Kado built the obelisk with the assistance of Block 9 residents and a young Buddhists group, funded by 15-cent donations from each family in camp. Rev Nagatomi carefully inscribed the monument's characters-including "Erected by the Manzanar Japanese, August 1943" on the west side. While Rev. Nagatomi and Ryozo Kado live on in the memories of family and community, Kado also left his legacy in cement and stone. He built the sentry posts at the camp entrance and other camp features in his distinctive faux wood style. Compare the posts surrounding this monument to those near the sentry posts and look for other examples of Kado's craftsmanship around Manzanar.

They were incarcerated for no other reason than because they shared the same ethnicity as those who attacked Pearl Harbor. Entire families were removed from their homes and businesses, forced to live here even as many of their sons fought and died for the United Sates.

A sign with a picture of Mess Hall Kitchen NO. 14 with the following text: HURRY UP AND WAIT For most hurry up and wait described daily life at Manzanar. "The food, I can't remember if it was good or bad," recalled Kathi Yamazaki, who was three years old when she arrived at Manzanar. "I just remember that we all had to go when the bell rang." As hundreds of Japanese Americans arrived each day during Spring 1942, many of Manzanar's barracks and mess halls were still under construction. Completed kitchens served up to 800 people a day, in multiple shifts lasting until midnight. By the time the WRA assumed control of the center from the Army in june, mess hall operations were in full wing. A view of the inside of the women's latrine. Note the close quarters and lack of privacy.

A reminder of a dark mark on our history from the last time the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was invoked.

Manzanar is one of ten American concentration camps where over 110,000 Japanese American men, women and children were unjustly incarcerated during World War II from December 1942 to 1945.
A recreation of one of the many guard towers that surrounded Manzanar concentration camp. The snowcapped Sierra mountains can be seen in the distance. They were told they were being held there for their own safety, but the guns and spotlights were facing inward. At one point an incarcerated individual was shot dead when he got too close to the barbed wire fence while collecting firewood. A recreation of one of the many tarpaper covered barracks were many other individuals and families were housed. A recreation of the inside of one of the tar paper barracks. Note the baby's crib near the heater and the close quarters and lack of privacy, multiple families would've been housed here. Manzanar National Historic Site Twice Orphaned Here in an old pear orchard, 101 American-born children ranging from newborns to 18 year olds lived in the Children's Village, the only orphanage in a war relocation center. Living in three specially built barracks and nurtured by a dedicated internee staff and others, they became a unique wartime family. Nearly half had been brought from West Coast institutions and foster homes. Others were temporarily separated from families when their parents were arrested or became ill or were infants born to unmarried mothers. Children's Village was landscaped with lawns, flowers, and cherry trees. Internees built playground equipment and furniture and collected money for toys and other items, while some Owens Valley neighbors brought freshly baked cookies and clothing. The children made friends through camp schools, churches, clubs, and sports and even formed their own baseball team. "But however much we encouraged our children to participate in the life of the larger community, we remained separate from it," recalled Lillian Matsumoto. What Became of the Children? After the war many children were placed in institutions and foster homes, while others reunited with their families. With blond hair and blue eyes, eight-year old Dennis Tojo stood out as one of a number of children of mixed ancestry. Adopted in 1943 by the Bambauer family in Bishop, he was the only Manzanar internee living in the Owens Valley after the war. Fifty years later, Dennis and dozens of others from the Children's Village gathered for an emotional reunion, renewing the ties they formed here. "On June 23, 1942, we departed for Manzanar with 62 children on the long trip we sang songs... A little four-year-old girl stood up and began to sing God Bless America. At the front of the bus, the young soldier holding has rifle with the bayonet listened and I could see tears flowing down his cheek." -Liman Matsumoto, Children's Vill Assistant Superintendent
