September 12th, 1683. Annual Repost.

On this day in 1683

From Gates of Vienna:

 

On this day in 1683 King Jan Sobieski of Poland arrived at Vienna to break the siege of the Turks and rescue the Christian West from the Hosts of Mohammed. The rout of the Ottoman troops before the gates of Vienna by the Polish hussars gave us a little breathing room, a coffee-and-croissants break that lasted for the next three hundred and eighteen years.

 

The Battle of Vienna in which King Sobieski defeated the 100,000-man army of “Islamic hordes” under Kara Mustafa Pasha was one day after the arrival of the Polish army with their winged hussars – Sept. 12. The western expansion of the Caliphate ended there, but the push back took many years.

“In great deeds, something abides”.  Joshua Chamberlain.

911 (repost from 2018)

Posted on September 11, 2025 by On the North River

Our President behaved on 9/11/01 the same way he responds to every tragedy today – with concern, compassion and practical help.

Donald Trump went in person down to ground zero the day it happened.

And he didn’t just go for a photo op – he went to see how he could help.

After finding a suitable site to set up, Trump sent his hotel staff, equipment, food, sodas, water, etc. and he fed the rescue workers day after day!

A lot of people do not know this but he allowed fire fighters to stay in his hotel for free among others who were there to help. There is an old saying. Put your money where your mouth is. President Trump has more skin in the game than all of Washington put together..

2010 to 20125 My forced retirement.

Posted on September 6, 2025 by On the North River

This month it is fifteen years since I was laid off when my job went to India.  I looked for work for about six months until my wife passed away suddenly and then I stopped.

I’ve found things to do that were rewarding; such as volunteer driver for the COA medical van and finding another woman to share my life.  She’s now also passed away.

So what’s a 75 year old bachelor to do?  More photography comes to mind.  I’ll try to get out and take more pictures and some of which I’ll post here.

Rain.

Posted on July 10, 2025 by On the North River

In forty-three years I’ve never seen it rain harder.   The southeast part of Massachusetts is getting hammered.


The roads into Boston from the southeast are flooded.

Historic Day

On this wonderful day I’d like to say bravo to everyone that voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Your tax dollars at work… to good purpose for once.
