When the hour was most desperate, came an unlikely hero. King Alfred rallied the battered and bedraggled kingdoms of Britain and after decades of plotting, praying, and persisting, finally triumphed over the invaders.

Alfred's victory reverberates to this day: He sparked a literary renaissance, restructured Britain's roadways, revised the legal codes, and revived Christian learning and worship. It was Alfred's accomplishments that laid the groundwork for Britain's later glories and triumphs in literature, liturgy, and liberty.

"Ben Merkle tells the sort of mythic adventure story that stirs the imagination and races the heart--and all the more so knowing that it is altogether true!" - George Grant, author of The Last Crusader and The Blood of the Moon

They found a tree cast, where the lava flow went around a tree and the tree burned up, leaving a round hole in the rocky lava where it once grew.  This guy is seeing how deep it is.  Wow.

Look at that cool Russian plane going down in flames!

 




 


A&G Fish Shoppe of the 458th Bomb Group in Belgium after an emergency landing, 18 March 1945.

The aircraft had taken three direct hits over Berlin, causing it to lose electrical and hydraulic power as well as the #3 engine. The engine threw its prop on the return flight, and engine #2 shut down shortly later. On final approach to a small dirt airfield in Allied-occupied Belgium the #4 engine also quit, but the plane made it to the ground safely with less than 50 gallons of fuel remaining.

That may be a painting. Gorgeous. Brook trout have to be about the prettiest fish there are (and tastiest too).

 


I have no idea. Anybody use this stuff? Might be good - could be my next experiment after I see about the DC Mambo Sauce that's on the way.
