Worm in Apple

Our neighbors gave us some apples from their backyard tree.  When we cut this one open there was a good size worm crawling around.  The apples are really good and make great Pie.  Also this is not apple tree country so we are lucky to have this one.  Worms are not the norm of course.

Montery Bay- Headed South

Multiply these scenes times a few thousand at least.

Someone spelled out HOPE! with rocks on the beach.

I sure would like to thank them.

We stopped at a really cool cafe along the way. Nepenthe.

These two photos were taken from the patio.

Pacific Grove Scenes

We went to Pacific Grove for a weddding.  A bit chilly for the wedding but otherwise, the weather was great.  It is very scenic there and full of life.  We stayed at a California State conference center: Asilomar.

Really a great place to stay.  Right on the coast. 

 Lover's Point, wedding location in the distance.

 I like how the waves come shooting through the rocks.

Sunset through the Jeep's window.

 The old light house.  A golf course has been built around it.

Nuke Bombs Exploded over the Pacific Ocean - historical photographs

Hardtack I / Teak 3.8 MT @ 252 kft August 1958
Teak was intended as an exo-atmospheric ABM test using a high yield warhead, and produced the first recorded HEMP effects.

Hardtack I / Orange 3.8 MT @ 141 kft August 1958

Orange was intended as an exo-atmospheric ABM test using a high yield warhead

These images of atmospheric Nuke testing from the late 1958 are from an extensive web site:

If you watch the film, #65, you learn that one of these rockets with a nuke warhead caught fire and burned up on the ground while they were trying to launch it.  So they cleaned it up and launched another one.
