The route would start with Loma Linda Medical Center at noon and ended a hour later at Chino Airport. They would covered 20 key spots including two national cemeteries, four airports, six hospitals, several beaches, the Queen Mary and San Pedro's own Battleship USS Iowa. I was planning on seeing it from Beacon Street where I first saw the USNS Mercy leaving port; but when I got there it seemed too far away, was congested with people, and had too many trees in the way. I went north of the Iowa, parking by the Fanfare Fountains (now under renovations) and walk south half way to the Iowa. When the first set of planes passed over, I realized there were too many trees in the way as they passed directly overhead, not over the Iowa. Adjusting my position, I was able to get a few shots of the next two batches of planes.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Recent research indicates that prairie dog calls, which were long believed to just be simple barks and chirps intended to sound a general alarm, are actually a language system that can communicate a high degree of detail about what is going on in the prairie dog community...specific calls for coyotes and wild dogs, unarmed men and armed men, and they even indicate if a predator is on the ground or in the air. The prairie dogs can communicate not just what the threat is, but what direction it is coming from and at what speed. Plus their vocal nature doesn't increase the risk of getting killed as they project their voices like a ventriloquist and when multiple prairie dogs are repeating the call, it becomes impossible to use your ear to narrow down the location of the animals.</span></span></span><br />

At the time it was proposed as "the largest cemetery in the world" with only 200 acres, it was far smaller than 1934 Mount Hope (Bangor, ME) which has 300 acres and is the second oldest garden cemetery in the US.</span></span></span><br />

They have a number of 'Notables'; however, finding them is not an easy task, even with a designated location. The Cemetery is mostly flat green land, devoid of raised grave markers. They also have many mausoleums and columbariums.</span></span></span><br />

The Palace hosted the greatest performers of the era: Jack Benny, Fanny Brice, Marx Brothers, Houdini, Al Jolson, Will Rogers, Fred Astaire. Charley McCarthy and Edgar Bergen was the first ventriloquist act booked at the Palace. Shortly thereafter, the Place closed and vaudeville was dead. Surprisingly Edgar made the transition to radio, becoming a big star and extending into movies and television. His only daughter, Candice Bergen, also became a movie/TV star.</span></span></span><br />

Think of the song '<i>At Last</i>' and you will hear her voice. She has been called 'Queen of Stank', 'Diva of Diva', dynamic, flamboyant, raunchy, dignified, classy, strong, vulnerable, a counter-intuitive genius who never sang an unwarranted note.</span></span></span><br />

Looking at his credits in IMDB, it seems there wasn't a hit TV show during the 60's and 70's he didn't appear on. Known as 'The Latin from Manhattan" he usually played the Latin Lover; it was a surprise when he became an epic villain, Joker, on the original Bat Man TV Show. At the age of 86, he died from complications of a blood clot while being treated for bronchitis and pneumonia.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Each year, Rob and I try to have a new Halloween related experience. In years past, I haven't been able to photograph any of the haunted houses, but this year I was allowed to bring a camera to a real haunted hotel, the RMS Queen Mary.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Launched in 1934, the QM sailed the North Atlantic from 1936 to 1967, when she was retired and purchased by Long Beach to become its' tourist attraction.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Considered the 6th most haunted place in the United States, there are many documented sightings of apparitions. Not surprising since there have been close to 60 on board deaths.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Our tour guide was Kelly, enthusiastic young woman, self-described as a "Scaredy-Cat" who once locked her boyfriend out of their shared apartment for pulling a spooking prank. She has worked on the Queen Mary for nearly two years and was very knowledgeable about all things QM related, including its ghosts. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">We started our tour on Deck M (level 4) in the Mauretania Room, where the 'Woman-in-White' has been seen many times by different people. This room is rented out for small parties/receptions. Three staff members were setting up the room in 1989, when they noticed a woman in a white evening gown sitting on the other side of the room, with her hands in her lap and her head down. They started cleaning and when they reached the unknown woman, one of them said to her, "Madam, we need you to move so we can mop the dance floor." The women just sat there, didn't look up or acknowledge the workers. One of the staffers went to call security and when she returned, the woman was gone. She asked her co-workers, "Where did she go?" "We don't know. After you left the room, she looked up, looked to her right, looked to her left and then just disappeared." All three workers reported seeing this apparition and said it lasted for about 10 minutes, making it the longest recorded ghost sighting. There have also been several complaints from customers using this room, which claim an uninvited women dressed in white appears in their party pictures.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">We walked pass the Third Class Nursery, now a storage room for the gift shops. Over the years, several guests have complained about the sound of a child crying, coming from that room. One guest was so insistent that they had to have a janitor open the room to prove it only contained boxes.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: large;">Last Sunday a few friends were talking about the upcoming Women's March that was going to be held downtown from Pershing Square to City Hall. I told them I was part of The Last March for ERA (Equal Rights Amendment), the Gay Rights March on DC in 1993 and again in 2000. They said, you have to go to this march...let's do it! And we did. The march was to begin at 10:00 AM. Six of us with two wheel chairs and one walker, met in Long Beach near the beginning of the Blue Line Metro Station at 7:30 AM. Little did we know, this was hardly getting a head start. By the third metro stop, the trains were packed like a New York subway at rush hour. Yet, at each consecutive stop, a few more people, pushed into the car. Sardines in the can have more room than we did, on the long ride to downtown. The blue line ends on 7<sup>th</sup> & Flower, five blocks from Pershing Square. When we got off the metro <span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">the crowd look like this: </span></span></span></span><br />

It was after 1:00 PM; with that many people any restaurant within miles, would be busy. After 45 minutes, we got a table and a much needed toilet break. Luckily, there was a metro station across the street. We took the Yellow line to the Red line to the Blue line, which took us back to Long Beach. Every station was packed. We got back to our cars about 6:00 PM, exhausted and exhilarated. We had done it!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Auntie Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951949555725550536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881124710844922701.post-45161165495115894572017-01-22T21:17:00.006-08:002023-08-21T16:50:57.650-07:00Falcon 9, San Pedro, CA - 19 JAN 2017<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">While walking the dogs, Todd noticed a very tall crane sitting on the warehouse docks.
