Beach House
image shack
Image by ceoln
Haven't done any serious SL house-building (at least not that I liked the result of) in a long time! I am quite happy with this mostly-white-wood beach house (shown as decorated with whatever was near the top of my Furniture folder and seemed to fit in).

This was a one-off, but maybe I will do a bit more housebuilding, if I stay in the mood. :)

(Various things from various places; feel free to write or comment if you recognize something and would like it explicitly acknowledged. Little sofa from Cheeky Pea I think, outside table and chairs from The Muffin Shack I think, screen door texture from the Marketplace, other screen textures found as images on the Web somewhere and converted; also the windows. Very nice white wood textures also from the Marketplace. I think.)

It's like 92 prims, but with careful setting of various ones to have a Physics Type of None, the Land Effect is a mere 47 or so (unfurnished). Which was nice!


AT&T Point Reyes Radio (KMI) Warning

AT&T Point Reyes, CA High Seas Radio Receiver Site (KMI), 8 March 2003.

This sign was at the receiver shack gate. It clearly predates the 1984 Bell System divestiture, judging from it's weathered condition and the old Bell logo. The AT&T high seas HF radiotelephone service was discontinued in 1999; the KMI facilities were abandoned shortly thereafter. The site was razed in 2004.

WARNING

Willful or malicious destruction of or injury to communications facilities used or intended for use for military or civil defense functions is a violation of the laws of the United States. Violations are punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to ,000 or both.

Christmas in the Children's Home - who can muck up the photo for fun?

A few nice photo fun images I found:

1966 Flat 1, National Children's Home, Highfield Oval, Harpenden, Herts.
Left to Right
Pauline Jones, Sally Jones, Philip Howard (9), Tommy Johnson (12), Vere Price, Noel Brown (12), Malcolm Price, Lenton Valero (10) & Laddie the dog.

Height wise 4'10" (blue jumper), other than the youngest boy, I was taller than both Lenton and Noel.
As I'm still at junior school, I get grouped with the younger children for most activities, yet for chores and the like as I'm equal to the others in height, it puts me in the older senior group for the amount of chores, with up to three years difference in ages - its not fair.
The following Christmas I try to be different to all the others just for fun, we had all been given dressing up clothes for a party just before Christmas, mine was a pirate outfit with tall riding boots and jodhpurs, when it came to returning the clothes, I told the staff I wanted to wear it during the Christmas holidays, (just to get the staff to say no - if you got several no answers, they might relent in saying yes to something you did really want), to keep me happy they said yes. I wonder if a group photograph of Christmas 1967 still exists.

A letter from the local psychiatric department in early Jan 1968 mentioned that they would be unable to offer any treatment for me, the Gov. of the Children's Home thought it best to get rid of me at that moment, so I was returned to my mother.

Over the next few years, those of us that had escaped from their care were rounded up and given a two week holiday in one of their Children's Homes. A few past friends were found again for a two week holiday.
It was more or same life as we had been use to.

In 2010 Lenton is still up to his old tricks, this time it's with Malcolm's big brother Dave.
