Early Texas: the Comanches, Folsom Museum
An interesting Old West site on Facebook is the Folsom Museum. Try it, you'll like it.
For an interesting article on the Comanche people, scroll down to "The Comanche – Horsemen of the Plains".

P.S. The White option on the text background color made a mess of this posting when it's viewed on a cell phone. Sorry. I'm still re-learning the blogger features and foibles. --CLO

Did You See the Flyover / Flypast at the QE II Celebration?
The flyover for the celebration of British Queen Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne included the mandatory flyover / flypast of military aircraft with their modern supersonic design, jet engines, and flashy red-white-blue smoke displays. The aircraft that caught my eye, though, were the World War II aircraft flying in a formation similar to this one:
Were it not for the Royal Air Force's Spitfires and Hurricanes and the diverse group of pilots who flew them against Hitler's Luftwaffe in the 1940 Battle of Britain, it's hard to see how Hitler and his thugs would ever have been expelled from continental Europe. The bravery, tenacity, and expertise of the RAF and Polish fliers prompted British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to make his famous remark, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
If you'd like more information on the Battle of Britain, there's plenty available here: Battle of Britain.
If you're interested in the doings of the Queen's 70th anniversary on the British throne, this article has good coverage of the on-going event: Forbes Article, QE II 70th Anniversary.
Enjoy!

It's the Nordic Hammer Guy Again
Once again, it's been a fairly noisy night in Norman and on south.

P.S. My back yard now has several downed tree branches, thanks to the last several days of storms. How can the trees still have any branches at all? --CLO 02 June 2022

_From Sentinel Ridge_ Returns!
After a layoff of several years, From Sentinel Ridge is coming back to life so that I can continue in the blogging realm free of the oversight of the delightful management at Facebook.
We (the Oateses) spent the end of May attending end-of-school festivities around town. Here are a couple of pictures from our auxiliary granddaughter's graduation.
That's all for now. I'll figure out how to post videos and post some more stuff later. Gotta figure out how to turn on comments, too.
