THE LADIES OF 1969-70




In 1952 the first prototype B-52 bomber makes its maiden flight from the Boeing works in Seattle. Plans for the bomber had been started in 1945 as a huge propeller bomber for the ongoing war against Japan.
The design was altered to accommodate jet engines and a large bomb capability to accommodate free fall nuclear bombs.
The bomber started service with the US Air Force in 1955, making their first bombing runs in Vietnam in the 1960s. Due to upgrades in its airframe and electronics, the latest H class (built in 1963) should
still be flying well into the 2030s.
Pictured is a B-52 next to the B-17 Flying Fortress of WW2, there are just 17 years between the designs. In the background is a B-29 bomber also of WW2 fame.


The Arapaho people lived spread out across Wyoming and Colorado. They have a very strong oral tradition and share their tribal stories with their people and younger generations to keep their transitions alive. Their second love was agriculture.
They became a nomadic tribe in the 1830s, living in teepees and riding their horses while working hard on their fields, growing crops like beans and corn. They would often trade goods with the Arikara and Mandan tribes. Everything they wore had meaning, including the beads on their garbs and the feathers in their headpieces

I've been there a couple of times. They have some interesting flavors, to say the least.

This sounds like it was written by a really bad AI bot.

I think they meant, "...keep their traditions alive," not "... keep their transitions alive." Although, as nomadic farmers they had a lot of transitions to cover.

How does being a nomadic farmer work? Farmers are tied to the soil, nomads by definition have no connection to place. Do they carry their corn plants around in pots?

Maybe the planted and raised crops in the summer, and were nomadic in the winter.

Oklahoma, 1939...
WPA (Works Progress/Work Projects Administration) worker and his wife sitting in front of their shack home on the Arkansas River near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma. This man said that last year he thought maybe he would be a little better off when he got the WPA work and had a small amount of cash coming in but that he was worse off now. "Last year I had a cow and some chickens and I had to sell my cow and eat my chickens. I get worse off every year"...

Control Data Corporation Digital GeoBallistic Computer (DGBC), Bloomington, Minnesota 1961.
CDC Computer Engineer David Ohrt at the controls performing a final systems check before delivery to a US Navy base in Norfolk, Virginia. The submarine-launched ballistic missile¹ targeting computer, a militarized version of the 48-bit CDC 1604 computer designed by Seymour Cray, was integrated into a General Electric Mark 84 fire control system onboard the Polaris² Fleet of 41 Ballistic Missile submarines. It was a dual processor computer using two independent Digital Control Computers (DCCs) each with 16,000 words of core memory and capable of performing 87,000 operations per second linked by two Multiplexer channels and two Parallel-Serial Converter Channels. Together they performed orbital trajectory calculations and could independently control the individual targeting of 16 onboard Polaris missiles¹. Dial controls include preset target number, missile number, Latitude (in degrees, minutes, seconds), Longitude, Target Elevation, North and East Wind Offset, tactical offsets, Burst Height, and Barometer-air density. The UGM-27 Polaris Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) is a weapon system capable of carrying up to three 200 kiloton W58 thermonuclear warheads³ within a range of 4600 km.
