    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I don't often offer an opinion on womens fashion, but tights, leggings and "yoga pants" worn without anything over them should be somehow licensed or at least policed by other ladies. It must be for some reason that looking in a mirror before leaving the house is no longer a common practice. Too...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Damnatiion on Netflix. It has some issues, but I've watched several episodes anyway. Set in 1930s Iowa, the lead is a fellow with a murky past posing as a preacher hoping to start a rebellion against the haves by the have nots. He has the local farmers on strike and blockading the town to keep...

    Golden Era Landscaping

    ^^^ Around here they were/are referred to as Model T garages. Most are gone now though I do know of a few still standing. It's ironic, (normal ironic, not hipster ironic) that a fair number of newer automobiles would fit perfectly in them.

    Golden Era Landscaping

    My grandmother raised African violets in the house for at least 60 years. She had a few other plants, but the violets were her thing.

    I am impressed. Great work.

    Today in History

    On this day in 1945 Paul Tibbets and his crew cranked up the Enola Gay and headed for Hiroshima. The world changed forever in a flash.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    ^^^ Good Lord. Can we expect more of this with legalization of cannabis? Apparently somebody's already smoking more than their share.

    Vintage neon signs

    As much as I sometimes resist new things, the led lamps available now to directly replace all of those incandescent bulbs would be a godsend.

    That's an interesting photo. I wish it showed a bit more to the side because I'm at least 50% sure I recognize that house. It is possible since there was a large Coke bottling plant in town with a very wealthy owner that the vehicle could have been here at least on one occasion.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    They were provided by a laundry service. You got as many rolls as you needed to get through until your next service day. When you hit the end of the roll you took that one out and replaced it with a clean one. On your day your route man took the used rolls and left you with clean ones. These...

    Clean Jokes

    I suspect that a fair number of people below a certain age will need an explanation of the bottom section of text. 'Tis a sad commentary on the things our young people have missed out on.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Because the Christmas candy is in the pipeline already I suppose. I was told this week that the evil empire is beginning to prepare for the changeover from garden center to Christmas village. Bah humbug to them.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Winding and installing a new roll is a skill. A towel roll and a Boraxo dispenser are accessories in my ultimate washroom.

    Deco Deliveries

    Surprisingly the rocket car survived and is in a museum somewhere. Maybe just as surprising, its owners survived to die of old age as well.

    5 gallons of oil for 3 bucks. I'm in.

    Meet the new 007.

    I believe one of the great losses of our time is the lack of reasoning, reflection on life and our place in it. Philosophical thought has been replaced by....well, I'll let you decide that for yourself.

    Are dresses coming back in style?

    We have a friend like that. We tease him that in his world absolutely nothing is black and white or any other color. It's all shades of gray. I would like for dresses to come back for ladies daily wear. It would sure be an improvement on ripped jeans and questionable choices in tights or yoga...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    If I could sort out all of the guilty parties that destroyed Nabisco along with several other companies I'd probably be in prison.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There is a restaurant close by here that brings a basket of assorted crackers out with the salads. Ry-Krisp is one that's in there along with bread sticks, melba toast, and some version of the old Waverly Wafers.

    I'd be a lot more interested in buying a new Buick if I could get that one.
