An M1 Garand rifle at Naval History and Heritage Command's (NHHC) Underwater Archeology and Conservation Laboratory is prepared for transport to the National Museum of the Marine Corps (NMMC). The M1 Garand was used by U.S. Marines Corps Raiders during the World War II attack on Japanese military forces on Makin Island and was submerged in a wet marine environment for over 50 years before being recovered. Due to the rifle’s significant physical damage, NHHC’s Underwater Archaeology branch received the rifle in 2016 to carefully treat and conserve the rifle.

Construction of the Eads Bridge that connects St. Louis, Missouri with East St. Louis, Illinois. c. 1873. The Eads Bridge is the oldest major surviving bridge on the Mississippi River.


Many of us romanticize old Route 66 and want to go back in time to drive the road in its early days. This photo from about 1938 of the "Tucumcari Chevrolet Motor Company Road Service," Tucumcari, New Mexico tow truck bringing in an unfortunate person's wrecked auto reminds us that Route 66 wasn't a very safe place to drive some days, especially for vehicles that all had a lot of gross weight. This doesn't look good for its driver. Do you know the make and model of these two vehicles.

Here is an excellent historic 1937 aerial photo view of the "El Trovatore Auto Court, Kingman." Their postcard ads read "Complete Cafe, Car and Service Station - On Hiway "66" One-half Mile E. of Kingman, Ariz." You can see the motel on the right, the service station in the middle, and the cafe on the right of this photo. It may not be the stylish modern resort that it once was but this Route 66 gem still shines bright in Kingman, Arizona.

This photo is courtesy of the Steve Rider collection and Jim Hinckley's America.
When you are searching for themed hotel rooms among Route 66 motels, El Trovatore, is one of the few pre-World War II Kingman Arizona motels that are still standing. This historic route 66 motel started in 1937 as a service station, with the tourist court added later in 1939 and was first owned by John F. Miller.

Another cool one, and recently restored, is the Harvey House in Winslow AZ. Beautiful grounds right on the train line following (preceding?) Rt 66 and a decent bar. The restaurant looks solid but I haven't seen the rooms. The one (and only one for me, at least) reason to stop in Winslow.

It's also Winslow's Amtrak station.

The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of ​​"Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population. According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society. As time went on, juvenile mortality reached 100% and reproduction reached zero. Among the endangered mice, homosexuality was observed and, at the same time, cannibalism increased, despite the fact that there was plenty of food. Two years after the start of the experiment, the last baby of the colony was born. By 1973, he had killed the last mouse in the Universe 25. John Calhoun repeated the same experiment 25 more times, and each time the result was the same.
Calhoun's scientific work has been used as a model for interpreting social collapse, and his research serves as a focal point for the study of urban sociology.
We are currently witnessing direct parallels in today’s society..weak, feminized men with little to no skills and no protection instincts, and overly agitated and aggressive females with no maternal instincts.

Here's an expansive version of General Grant's most famous photo which was scanned from a print at the National Archives about 15 years ago. Cold Harbor, June 11 or 12, 1864. While one's contemplation may rightly focus on what must be in Grant's mind as the end of the terrible Overland Campaign draws near, this uncropped photo at least gives me more in which to set the scene--ropes, tent, trees and foreground that can help me better picture the area around his HQ tent at that time. Happily, this is just one of a series of photos taken then and there and you can learn all about it in William Frassanito's awesome Grant and Lee (photographic, then & now) book!
