3/6/24 TEARY
The Peace Memorial relates to the Civil War. These figures at the top are Grief and History. The teary one, Grief, holds her covered face against the shoulder of History and weeps in mourning. History holds a stylus and a tablet that was inscribed “They died that their country might live.”
I got a bit teary myself thinking about it.
3/6/24 TEARY (forum tech issue again)… Seeing this rusted car in the field made me think that the people living there long for days of olde and must get TEARY when they think of yesteryear.
3/6/2024 – Teary
Bataan Street NW — Named in 1961 to honor U.S. and Filipino troops captured on the Bataan Peninsula by the Japanese during WWII.During the Bataan Death March, April 1942, the soldiers were deprived of food, water, and medical attention, and were forced to march 65 miles to confinement camps throughout the Philippines. Approximately 10,000 men died. Of these men, 1,000 were American and 9,000 were Filipino.
3/6/24 – TEARY

(Ha! I’ll post the real photo on the STRAVA page! Here’s a SFW blurred version)
This extreme genetic vulnerability is why the Panama Banana Wilt (Fusarium Wilt) is so devastating. There’s no treatment, and no genetic variation means no survivors. Containment is the only course of action.
This the why the banana my parents enjoyed as kids is not the banana we find in stores now (Cavendish), and in another decade, we will likely not see this one either.
