Summer Fun?
Posted by Susan in Uncategorized on Apr 24th, 2011 | 0 commentsOut on the boardwalk of Virginia Beach on April 11, 2011 between 11:30am and noon. The number of trucks, and other heavy equipment, competing with the beach goers at this time of day was quite high. It was actually a dismal sight. This video was taken near 25th street where a man named Michael Knockett was crushed - and killed - by a city dump truck, while out on the beach, the morning of June 28th 2010. None of the trucks, that I saw while making this video, were using ground guides at any time. But, it seems that Virginia Beach city workers are protected under Sovereign immunity while in the performance of their jobs, so, I'm very careful while out, at anytime, on this particular beach. At position 3:49, on this video, the tractor driver appears to get out of his cab and pickup some clothing that he shakes out and throws into his cab before driving away. I'd hate to be in the water and find that my clothing (wallet and keys too) had been stolen. I often wonder how many watches and wallets these tractor and truck drivers "find" during the summer months.

Posted by Susan in Uncategorized on Apr 19th, 2011 | 0 commentsThe Juan Sebastian de Elcano was docked at Norfolk VA in 2007. She was on a friendship tour from Spain. We explored the ship and were greeted kindly even though there was a language barrier. When leaving the ship I politely asked for a solute but the sailors did not understand English. I saluted first and then they all saluted back. Related video: www.youtube.com

Watch as archeologists work the sand identifying temporary soldiers' shelters, row houses, wells, the storehouse, and the 1608 church. Listen to students who are helping with the dig explain the small artifacts found on the site. Related video: www.youtube.com
