I took this picture Tuesday afternoon. It is advertising for our local Ford dealership, McLaughlin Ford. The building/barn can be seen from the road on the McLaughlin family’s farm outside of the city limits.

This past weekend was movie time for my wife and myself. We watched Mr. Blanding Builds his Dream House staring Carry Grant and Myrna Loy. It’s a wonderful comedy that anyone whose ever built a home can relate to. The cinematography is great and the outdoor shots are perfect. The on screen...
It was a cold and rainy weekend so I was able to watch some great classic movies on TCM. The Maltese Falcon was super, I’m not sure how I’ve missed viewing it in the past. Humphrey Bogart portrayed Sam Spade wonderfully, his quick witted humor and stories that kept him one step ahead of the bad...
What a wonderful idea for a thread topic. Hats and the history of where they were sold is like looking back in time. Thanks to everyone that has posted pictures so far it’s very enjoyable.

I watched The Penguin Pool Murder last night. It’s a comedy with a natural 1930’s flair. The story line is pretty good but as always the cinematography and the actors really pull it together for and enjoyable movie night. Edna Mae Oliver and James Gleason are a middle age couple that fall in...
I watched His Girl Friday this morning. I loved this fast talking, fast paced romantic comedy. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell deliver great performances. Their chemistry and wit compliment each other’s characters. The story line is way different than the average romance of the time. Hindy and...
Winter Beach by Blue Sky. He painted Winter Beach in 1980 in Sumter, South Carolina. I pass it every morning on the way to work. I snapped this picture this morning when I got off shift and was on my way home.
Here is more about the artist Blue Sky...
I wanted The Killing this evening. It was a good film noir drama with a documentary feel to the story. The actors brought the script too life. It takes a little time to settle in to the story but the flow is good and the camera angles are great in many scenes.

I snapped this picture yesterday. Brody’s Department store was a big locally owned store here in town. It closed in the mid-late 80’s. The building was purchased and renovated by the City in the early 2000’s and currently houses the City Planning, Codes Enforcement, Business Licensees and...
I watched The Man Who Came to Dinner this evening. It’s a wonderful comedy film starring Bette Davis and Monty Woolly as the main character Mr. Whiteside. He has a know it all attitude along with a sharp tounge because he a radio celebrity, so he gets and says whatever he wishes. It’s the 1940’s...
Here are some unexplained hieroglyphs. The images were found on the ceiling beams of a 3000-year old New Kingdom Temple, located south of Cairoand the Giza Plateau.
The last couple of post talked about time travel, so looking at these photos makes myself say HMMMM....;)
I know I went...
Last night I watched The picture of Dorian Gray on TCM on Demand. It was not exactly what I was expecting. The story line could have gone a little deeper midway through the movie. Angela Lansbury is gorgeous and her voice is beautiful as she sings. I really only knew/remembered her from Murder...
I watched Scarlet Street this afternoon. The cast is the same as The Woman in the Window. A similar story line with a darker ending. Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett are great together.

I actually set the DVR and recorded The Woman in the Window when it aired at midnight because I was on shift at the fire department. I’m going to watch it later this evening.

Last night I watched here comes Mr. Jordan. Robert Montgomery is a boxer that was killed in a plane crash on the way to his championship fight. He wasn’t supposed to die but he was taken to heaven and his body was cremated. Mr. Jordan sends him back to earth so he can finish his life and fight...
I laughed at how many times Marty said his father was an ugly man but his mother adored him. When he told Clara they were “dogs” but she had a pretty face I about fell out of the chair laughing. It really seems like a simpler time period from watching older movies. If you tell a young lady today...
That block is a thing of beauty. Craftsmanship like that is a lost art. If you can’t get it at Lowes or the Home Depot very few people have mastered the craft and talent to build something like this.

That is one thing that caught my eye immediately, the crispness and clarity were great. TMC does a wonderful job with the movies they air. I just wish their on demand portion had more movies listed on Directv.
