“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
As you probably would assume by how the majority of my ‘Evening Randomness’ posts, I’m a big history nerd. That’s why a lot of my stuff tends to dip into the past…
When I thought of this idea a few weeks ago, I wanted to do a post on cool historical military photos. However, I couldn’t bring myself to not show some respect to the people who fight & have faught for their country regardless of the timeline.
So, this one’s got a mix of both historical and modern day shots.
Welcome to ‘Daily Evening Randomness,’ where we wind down for the evening under a random theme. Tonight? Military.
“The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization”
Architecture is all around us… it’s part of the rhythm of everyday life. If you’re lucky, you might find yourself surrounded by some of the most breathtaking examples in the world.
I’ll never fully understand how humanity has managed to create structures so massive yet so beautiful, but that’s alright. I’m just here to marvel at them.. even the small ones. It’s truly incredible.
Welcome to Daily Evening Randomness, a nightcap at theCHIVE where we unwind for the night under a random theme. Tonight, we’re looking at architecture& Design.
“Fuel, freedom, and the roar of the engine, that’s happiness.”
I’ve never been a big car guy. My friends used to wonder why I didn’t give a sh!t about the Lambo that zipped by us while we were out. My answer to them?
“I like classic cars. There’s just something f*cking cool about them. I’d take a classic car over a new luxury car any day of the week.”
Welcome to Daily Evening Randomness, your daily nightcap at theCHIVE where we wind down for the evening under a random gallery theme. Tonight’s choice: Classic Cars.
“Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage“
There’s a certain magic when the air turns sharp and the nights come early. Nothing fancy, just the small luxuries: a crackling fire, someone you love next to you, a drink that warms your chest, and a movie you’ve seen a hundred times but still love. That’s comfort.
Welcome to Daily Evening Randomness, where we wind down for the evening under whatever random theme we’ve chosen that night. Tonight? One word: Cozy.
“The freedom of the open road is seductive, serendipitous and absolutely liberating.”
Is there anything more quintessentially American than a classic road trip? Packing up the trunk, filling the tank, and just hitting the open road. The bathroom breaks, the greasy spoon diners, the endless stretch of highway, it’s all part of the charm.
Growing up in Canada, the road trip ritual always included a stop at Timmies, whether or not it was the best coffee around didn’t matter, it was tradition.
Welcome to Daily Evening Randomness, where we wind down for the evening under whatever random theme we’ve chosen that night. Tonight? The Great American Road Trip.
“If you can remember anything about the 60s, you weren’t really there.”
Welcome to the second ‘Daily Evening Randomness By Hendy,’ where each night we do a little ‘nightcap post’ that follows whatever random theme we’ve chosen for the evening.
I’m not sure what it is about the 60s, but I’ve always been fascinated by it. The fashion, the music, the lack of social media leaving people feeling awful all of the time… you know, little things.
Tonights ‘Daily Evening Randomness‘ is dedicated to the 1960s. So, pour yourself a drink, maybe throw on a record, and enjoy some old photos of a time we’ll never see again!
The internet doesn’t stop just because the sun goes down.
Welcome to ‘Daily Evening Randomness By Hendy,’ a place where we can wind down, have a laugh, and enjoy whatever random sh!t I threw together for that particular evening.
When John called me about this idea, I happened to be at an airport bar in Leeds, nearing the end of a pint of something that I wished was Guinness, but wasn’t.
“Can I make one about Guinness?” I said.
“Hendy, make it about whatever the f**k you want, just make it good, and add ‘By Hendy’ to the title for the first couple of days. That way, you have to own it.” John replied.
So, here we are. I’m making this first post while plugged into my laptop at a pub in Dublin. This post will be different every evening, but this evening, it’s about John and I’s mutual love for Irish Pubs.
Lee Douglas, a 36-year-old Fort Worth father of five, had been hospitalized since he was shot on May 30 outside his workplace. He died June 11 at JPS Hospital. An 18-year-old suspect faces a murder charge in his death.

An 18-year-old accused of killing a Fort Worth man at random while traveling through Texas also shot at three other people in an industrial area south of DFW Airport, police allege in an arrest warrant affidavit.
Lee Douglas, a 36-year-old electrician who worked at Refresco Beverages at 15200 Trinity Blvd. in far east Fort Worth, was shot first in the back then again in the face after he fell to the ground.
A witness who saw Douglas get shot told police that the suspect, Decan Medeiros, unsuccessfully tried to enter the Refresco Beverages building before he began shooting early on the morning of May 30, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Star-Telegram.
One of Douglas’ coworkers told police he saw Medeiros stand over Douglas and aim a black pistol at his head after he had shot him in the back, according to the affidavit. The witness turned to yell for other employees who were outside on break to get inside the building and then heard another gunshot.
Medeiros allegedly shot two more rounds at other employees of Refresco Beverages before crossing the street and entering an Oncor Electric warehouse, according to the affidavit.
Four witnesses, including an off-duty game warden officer who was working as a security guard, gave consistent descriptions of Medeiros.
The security guard heard the first four gunshots and saw Medeiros trying to escape by cutting through the Oncor property, according to the affidavit. The guard asked the suspect what he was doing, and Medeiros replied he was “shooting squirrels,” the affidavit states.
The guard pulled his gun and ordered Medeiros to put his hands up, but the suspect ran away and into the warehouse, he told police.
Inside the Oncor warehouse, Medeiros shot three times at an employee operating a forklift, who jumped off the forklift and ducked for cover, the warrant alleges.
Police searched one of three bags that Medeiros was carrying with him during the shooting, the affidavit states. In the bag, they found a dark gray notebook filled with journal entries. It had the words “take notes” written on the front cover, with “take” written by hand and “notes” printed by design. The words “The Book of Taurus” were handwritten on the back cover.
Upon arresting Medeiros about 1,500 feet east of the Oncor warehouse, police said, they found two boxes of ammunition that matched the type of bullets used in the shooting.
Medeiros is in custody at the Lon Evans Corrections Center, part of the Tarrant County Jail system, with bond set at $615,000. He faces charges of murder and aggravated assault.
His father, Ricky Medeiros, told the Star-Telegram that the teen was on a layover after flying into DFW Airport on his way home to Washington state and that he didn’t know anyone in Texas.
Douglas, a father of five, died June 11 at John Peter Smith Hospital.

On April 13, 28-year-old Takeira Hester was arrested in Philadelphia and now faces several charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault and simple assault.
Police say at 8:30 a.m. Saturday Hester stabbed a 24-year-old woman in the chest and left finger.
“Just rushed up to her, stabbed her once or twice,” officials said during a news conference streamed by WPVI.
Less than four hours later, at 12:02 p.m., Hester stabbed a 1-year-old boy in the arm, police said.
A man and woman were pushing strollers with 1-year-old twins when Hester ran up and stabbed one of the babies, officials said.
“Just rushed up to them, nothing was said. Complete random. Tried to stab both children,” officials said.
The father of the babies chased Hester down the street and she dropped a bag as she fled, according to officials.
Officials say both incidents appear to be random.
Both the woman and baby were taken to a hospital and last listed in stable condition, according to police.
Officials have not released a motive for the attacks.
