    BATTER UP!

    Well, just as well, one might argue. "The Friendly Confines of Weegham Park" is a string of words that kinda gets caught in one's throat like an errant fish bone.

    Why American Workers Now Dress So Casually

    I had a game plan in my first 2 years of college that worked for me. One weekend a semester was designated as, "Pull Out the Stops Weekend." Living at home, working my way through school, and attending community college for the first 2 years to save money earned me the right to a little...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Happy birthday, Art! Your hats are an inspiration, and you, sir, are a craftsman.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Someone will not only look sharp in this one: he'll survive another brutal Midwest winter with gleeful aplomb. And I speak from experience on that point.

    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    Just for laughs, I checked eBay: original RCA ribbon mikes are for sale but, as Miss Lizzie noted on the quality repros, they don't run cheap.

    Why American Workers Now Dress So Casually

    "Charmed existence" is a mild way of describing what I had to deal with regarding bosses (supervisors and division chiefs): in over three decades there were a grand total of two- both division chiefs- who were unmitigated jerks. All supervisory positions for attorneys in the office were, of...

    Old gas stations

    Regarding the streetcar accident: did a little snooping and found the following on a Facebook page for the "Danforth East Community Association " (of Toronto) in a post from January 9, 2013 (same photo): "Danforth & Glebemount, June 27, 1935 - Accident between a Streetcar and Tanker Truck. The...

    Manhattan 1939 -- in Kodachrome!

    Well, a bit beyond summer, but not by a lot. In 2018, the first westbound transatlantic crossing is May 19, and the last (same direction) is December 15. The ship is roughly three times the size of RMS Titanic as to tonnage, and even the most modest inside stateroom puts the ships of a century...

    BATTER UP!

    Wrigley Field boasted friendlier confines back when P.K. ran the show in the 60's and allowed no full gale advertising. The quality of play was a lot more pathetic, so I suppose, any revenue generated has its up side. But that was one of many factors which made a game at Wrigley and a game at...

    Old gas stations

    I can recall, early 60's, when the "Oklahoma" line of gasoline stations became "Enco." Skywriters emblazoned the blue skies over Chicago with "ENCO." At age six, I was quite impressed.

    The Fall of the Moustache

    Poor Wilhelm. I always have maintained that if Princess Victoria had enjoyed a more healthy birthing procedure and he's not sustained all of that pain in his childhood that came from his withered arm, he might have enjoyed a more pleasant personality. A nice guy- like his brother, Prince...

    The Fall of the Moustache

    Saw him in person! He was getting off of a red eye from LA when I was at the airport to pick up a relative. Poor guy looked so exhausted, I didn't dare go up and tell him how much I enjoyed his work.

    The Fall of the Moustache

    And about the same time I posed with my son- clowning around to Mom's amusement, as usual. He turns 28 tomorrow, so I really feel ancient. The beard/ moustache was popular with ladies who knew me socially: Dear Wife said that it was "like kissing a horse blanket," and they made me look too old...

    The Fall of the Moustache

    I had a beard back in the days when I first got into the Hobby (Civil War reenacting). This was about 1994.

    Manhattan 1939 -- in Kodachrome!

    I really geeked out on the last few frames that showed ocean liners lined up on the river. Wish we still had regularly scheduled transatlantic ship crossings as a transportation option.
