But, there are indications it has happened in the past, therefore could happen again. Some think it will merely entail a reversal of the magnetic polarity;Continue reading War is peace; slavery is freedom; ignorance is strength

Oldest is (? – The first is a very very old image of the original female monastery side entrance,) thus 1950 is the norm and they go up from there. Most are from around 1954 to 1955 and they are beautiful… This is a find of fantastic importance to me and I am just studyingContinue reading Village / Monastery Images from the old days…

The laptop that I use in the village, decided to give up its LCD screen. It could be a number of reasons, but it looks to me like the cable that connects from the board to the screen has gone out.

The old road runs right into a bog and while I found how they had drained it at one time, it no longer works and reverted back to what it was originally. I am sure thatContinue reading We try to walk the old road…

The garden on the right will extend now all the way toward you as you look at the image. It will extend until just past the pile of dirt on the right. Same width, just length will be increased.
