Los Alamos Nuclear Facility in 1974.




Signal Hill oil field, Long Beach, California, 1937



Stephen Hawking appearing as his own holographic counterpart in the Star Trek: The Next Generation sixth season episode "Descent" in 1993.
While filming the episode, Hawking was taken on a tour of the engineering set; indicating the warp core, he said, "I'm working on that."
On a subsequent visit to the set, he passed by actor Brent Spiner and asked where his money was from winning the hand of poker. Spiner replied that the check was in the mail. Hawking was interviewed on 8 April 1993 when he filmed his Trek appearance.
This interview was part of the TNG Season 6 DVD special feature "Mission Overview Year Six" – "Descent – Part 1 Featuring Stephen Hawking".

My father put a round into the bottom of wall in the office when he was showing my mother the previously owned 32 Remington he had acquired. Apparently it came with a round already chambered!

So many suffering from the California fires. And cars hardly compare to loosing lives or loss of your primary residence.
That said, someone also lost some nice P cars…



I believe this is a 912 SWT




A what was probably a very fine 930








Not sure what goes with the right rear quarter - Benz?
