Leyte, Philippines begins

Pacific Paratrooper

Leyte, Oct. 1944

20 October – the X and XXIV Corps of the 6th Army, under General Krueger, made their amphibious landing on a 25-mile (40 km) stretch of coastline between Dulag and Tacloban on the eastern side of Leyte.

At 0945, the 1st Cavalry went ashore on White Beach, the 24th Infantry Division went on their left at Red Beach and the 96th Infantry Division landed further south on Orange and Blue Beaches.  They all moved inland for about a mile, hitting stiffer resistance as they went.

The 7th Infantry Division at Violet and Yellow Beaches had the lightest opposition, but Dulag was taken by the following day.  MacArthur described the view he witnessed from the flag bridge of the USS Nashville:

“Landings are explosive once the shooting begins and now thousands of guns were throwing their shells with a roar that…

Processos

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Quando a alma se apequena

A vida, os sonhos, os pensamentos

Ficam restritos dentro de nós.

Parece que o silêncio vira noite

A esperança perde a cor.

A vida deixa de ser um espetáculo grandioso.

E tudo torna-se irritadiço

Desigual.

A vida e os seus processos inflamatórios, criam

espaço

para a dor.

Feridas não cicatrizam

machucados vão para além da alma

Nos fazendo pobres de espírito

seres humanos decadentes

cujo as tribulações

Nos reveste de ressentimentos

Amarguras profundas.

Coisas, situações, acontecimentos que nos consome internamente

hábito repetitivos

Fervem os nossos processos inflamatórios

agressivos!

A vida é o que é

respeitemos as feridas e os machucados

Pois tudo o que inflama

Passa por um processo de reparo.

A pele seca recupera a sua miséria.

Olhos molhados

Deixa de necessitar de lenços

Não se nasce uma única vez na vida

Mas

inúmeras

dentro do que está quieto em nós.

COVID patients wait days for ICU beds in Central California – Los Angeles Times

Some hospitals in Central California are still so overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients that some critically ill people are waiting days to be transferred into the intensive care unit from the emergency room, officials said.

One Fresno area hospital had nine critically ill patients who were unable to get into the intensive care unit for more than three days, interim health officer Dr. Rais Vohra said at a news conference this week. This forces emergency room staff to treat patients needing ICU care, disrupting the healthcare of other patients with less severe illness.

“We’re basically really straining what the emergency department has to do,” Vohra said. “We still anticipate at least a few more weeks of thoroughly impacted operations” in ICUs and emergency rooms.

Hospitals in Fresno County are teetering on the need to ration healthcare and implement “crisis standards of care,” Vohra said. In these situations, hospitals conclude that they can no longer provide the same standard of healthcare to everyone, and must choose whose lives to prioritize to keep as many patients alive as possible.

Birds from Walden Blue jay

Blue Jays, Cardinals and Red Wing Blackbirds take my breath away.

Words from Walden

Bluejays can be seen in the Northeast of the U.S. and Canada for the duration of winter even though they are also in places like Florida.

They are bright blue beautiful birds and are strikingly different from each other. There are skinny ones, fat ones, tall ones, short ones, young and old ones.

They are a tight-knit group and they often flock together often descending upon birdhouses en-masse.

Although they look pretty and cute these birds squawk loud like crows and they seem to be aggressive towards other bird species.

At times, these birds are even aggressive to other Bluejays.

Bluejays are too big for most feeders and when they try to sit on the perches of the smaller feeders, their wings start flapping as they try to get the food out. Realising their deilema they will defer to the open concept birdhouse instead.

I have been fortunate enough to…
