藍帽花路上的歷史遺跡

多少年來， 我總是在三月下旬之早春踏上春意盎然的德州州際105 號和1155 間的藍帽花之鄉間小路 ，因為那𥚃隱藏著德州歷史最重要的一頁。

早在一八三六年三月二日， 曾經在德州華盛頓簽下了德州獨立宣言並明定為德州首都 ，也是德州建國之開始。

今天在這個德州建國的遺址上， 設有徳州共和國博物館， 第一任總統官邸， 大型農埸及德州發展之歷史古蹟。

時至今日， 徳州人還是活在以往的歷史光榮之中， 我們是除了阿拉斯加以外最大面積州 ，全州總產值排世界第八位， 而且盛產石油天然氣，這次俄烏戰爭造成之能源短缺 ，給了德州賺大錢的機會。

今天我們沿著這條羊腸小徑 ，穿過了時光隧道， 看見了部分已綻放的藍帽花已經在大草原上添上艷丽的色彩 ，許多攜家帶眷的家庭們漾溢在歡笑之中。

德州人以堅韧不拔之精神开拓了這片最初荒蕪的土地， 從墨西哥手中取得而繼續拓展， 真是歷史上的曲折故事。

東航客機在廣西失事

一架東方航空公司從昆明飛往廣州之MU5735 波音737 型客機， 昨天下午在廣西梧州市上空失联而墜毀， 一百二十三位乘客和九位機組人員可能已全遇難， 有關搜救人員正在努力搶救之中。

這是東方航空非常罕見的事故， 該公司一向保持有非常完美安全之飛航記錄 ，不幸的是 ，這架飛機又是波音737 型客機， 這型飛機近年來墜機事件頻傳， 去年並且全面停飛複檢 ，但不幸事件又再發生。

我們對遇難者表示由哀之哀悼， 但是波音公司必須協助調查失事原因， 為這型飛機频頻出事做出解釋。

Bluebonnets At Texas Historical Site

For many years we always set foot on the bluebonnet wildflower country road between Texas interstate highway 105 and 1155. In mid-March and early April the location hides very important pages of the history of Texas.

On March 2, 1836, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed at Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas, marking the “Birthplace of the Republic of Texas,” the founding of Texas, as well as one of its early capitals. Today, the historical site rests where Washington-on-the-Brazos once flourished and contains a reconstruction of the Independence Hall, the Star of the Republic Museum and Barrington Plantation home of the last President of the Texas Republic and we experience the 19th century where Texas became Texas.

Today Texans still live in the glory of the past. We are the largest state except Alaska that the GDP of states ranked eighth in the world. We produce oil and gas and many other natural resources.

Today we walked through the trail and saw the wild flowers and bluebonnets and saw many families and kids all running and full of laughter.

We are so glad we live in Texas and are very proud to be Texan. We are all looking forward  to a brighter future.

China Eastern Airlines Crashed In Guangxi

A China Eastern Airlines MU5735 Boeing 727 passenger plane flying from Kunming to Guangzhou lost contact yesterday afternoon over Wuzhou City, Guangxi Province, and crashed. All 123 passengers and nine crew members may have been killed. Relevant search and rescue efforts are underway and personnel are working hard to locate any survivors.

This is a very rare accident for China Eastern Airlines. The company has always maintained a very perfect and safe flight record.

Unfortunately, this aircraft is another Being 737. This aircraft has had many problems lately. It has been grounded and reinspected, but the unfortunate incident has happened again.

We express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims, but Boeing must assist in the investigation and determine the cause of the crash and explain the frequent accidents with this type of aircraft.
