Cargo’s Last Stand: 1969 – 2012 — We lost our jobs today

I’ll say more later, but I changed my cargo photos category back to Cargo’s Last Stand, which had temporarily been NWA > Delta Cargo.

I originally called it Cargo’s Last Stand to document NWA’s parking all of the 747 freighters, and then changed it to something more positive when Delta took over and we just handled passenger aircraft cargo.

We just found out this morning that Delta (who bought NWA) will now outsource our cargo operation here in Anchorage, starting 1/1/13.

Leah just said on Facebook that our cargo building was put into operation by NWA in 1969:

I believe 1969 and was expanded in 1972 to what is now occupied by LSG [flight kitchen] and ELS [plant maintenance].

I started working in Anchorage in 1980, and did a shift in this same air freight building in 1981.

All of the Cargo’s Last Stand photos are still posted. Just click the category in the Categories menu on the right. There are currently 35 pages of posts.

A young friend of mine just went through the shock of his life, diagnosed with a brain tumor. He’s a great dog lover — as this Gordon Setter puppy loveth him : )

[music video] CREED: “The Song You Sing” — “Does the song you sing have ENOUGH MEANING? INSPIRE US to sing along. … Keep calling out FOREVER. Let them sing THAT SONG YOU SING!”

I’ve been humming this AWESOME song by CREED a lot, recently, fom their 2009 album, ‘Full Circle’:

“What’s wrong with the world today?
Tell me what’s all the talk about? …

“Does the song you sing have ENOUGH MEANING?
INSPIRE US to sing along
Does the song you sing KEEP ECHOING?
Inspire us to sing the song you sing

“I hope
The words I wrote
KEEP CALLING OUT
Keep calling out
FOREVER
Let them sing
THAT SONG YOU SING

Solar Max Chart: Approaching the Top of the Trough — Gorgeous auroras expected! But if one gets too gorgeous our power grid isn’t EMP protected, thanks to Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and Congress

In Anchorage, last Thursday night we had an amazing, GLORIOUS light show! The entire sky to the west, north and east was filled with glorious lights — including overhead! I witnessed this personally, and am even more in awe of God — ‘what would You have me to do?’

I saw an aurora in Anchorage about 20 years ago that was directly overhead, which I’ll never forget. I have said it was like God coming his hair. But this one had so much energy. What blew me away were huge donut shaped pulses almost directly overhead (slightly to the west and north of overhead) that looked like they were slamming down this amazing energy on me, more than one pulse per second. Selah.

And we can expect more gorgeous displays this winter. BUT our power grid and electronics are not EMP protected (explained in the links below), because Congress won’t act to protect our country for just the cost of one stealth bomber.

So hopefully we won’t get a northern lights show that is too wonderful, like has happened in the past, before we had delicate electronics.

Yesterday Scott Stapp, lead singer of the band Creed, was cool enough to take some time out from promoting his new book, “Sinner’s Creed” to make some time to meet and sing a couple of songs with PS22 Chorus! The kids joined Scott on his new song, “Pray For Sunrise” and the classic Creed hit “With Arms Wide Open.” Scott really opened up to the kids and inspired all of us deeply with his music and his story….

Another amazing performance from CREED frontman Scott Stapp with the PS22 Chorus of 2013 — here is the band’s classic song, “With Arms Wide Open!” Can’t sing Scott’s praises enough — as a singer and as a gentleman this man is in a league of his own! So honored to have him stop by….

Also thanks to former chorus member Daniel-san for stopping by to join in on the bongos, to Mr. Eberle on the acoustic guitar, and of course to our camera-woman extraordinaire, Ms. Lisa, for filming the performance!
