The kind of energy the Sun emits most strongly is not ultraviolet, or gamma rays, or even visible light,
it’s actually infrared. That’s the Sun’s strongest emission, which is the kind we feel as heat.

Summertime
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

Who knew?  RANDOLPH, N.H. (AP) JUNE 21, 2019 8:22 p.m. — Seven people were killed in a crash between a truck and several motorcycles in New Hampshire, state police said Friday, in what witnesses described as a "devastating scene" as bystanders grabbed first aid kits and blankets to treat injured motorcycle riders scattered along the highway. State police said that a 2016 Dodge 2500 pickup truck collided with War Veterans motorcycle riders on US Rt 2 in Randolph. Along with the seven dead, state police said two additional people were transported to the Androscoggin Valley Hospital and one was airlifted to Maine Medical. "There was debris everywhere," said a 21 y/o woman from Manchester,NH who was several cars back and recalled seeing a truck in flames on the side of the highway and six motorcycles. "Riders were in the grass. There were people putting tourniquets on people, trying to make sure they didn't move," she said. "You could tell people were lost who it happened too... It was a sad day for all of them." Jerry Hamanne, co-owner of a nearby bed-and-breakfast that was hosting one of the bikers in the group, said he and a doctor also staying at his inn went to the scene to help. Others tried to assist as best they could but some people were already dead. "It was so devastating to see the bodies on the road," Hamanne said. "My God, I don't want to see something like this again." The crash happened about 500 feet from lodging where most of the motorcyclists were staying, Hamanne said. Charlie St. Clair, executive director of Laconia Motorcycle Week Association, which host one of the state's biggest rallies in June, said he couldn't recall an accident of this magnitude involving bikers in the state. He wasn't on the scene but said had been fielding calls about the accident much of the night. St. Clair said he heard the riders were mostly Marine veterans who belonged to the same motorcycle club. "This is staggering and it's tragic beyond description," St. Clair said. "You have a bunch of people out for a ride enjoying one of the first nice days we had. To have this happen, it defies logic quite frankly." |
