Absolutely beautiful, Lady Day! I went to the Sepulveda Dam, today, and took some shots. The Sepulveda Dam was built in 1941 and is one massive chunk of concrete. Some of you may rmember it from such fine films as Escape From New York and Buckaroo Banzai. It's also been in many television...- MrNewportCustom

Valentines Day?
Given the chance, I'd strangle Cupid! The little git needs to pony up for some sharper, truer, sturdier arrows! On the off chance that one of his low-quality shafts actually hits me or the one in my sights, it either bounces off, breaks or falls out. Every time Valentine's Day arrives, I...- MrNewportCustom

What Are You Reading
Talk about a literary mess, MissMeraRose! I usually have three or four books going at any given time. :D Which leads me to my next comment . . . Funny you should mention Ellroy, oneterrifichog. I'm about to finish reading retired LAPD homicide detective Steve Hodel's book, Most Evil. It's...- MrNewportCustom

Show Us Your Christmas Presents
Oops! There's one minor omission in my post, Audrey: The lights aren't actually in my possession at this time. I ordered them on Thursday and, unfortunately, they're on back-order. I should have them in four to six weeks. :rolleyes: Then I'll set up a shoot with someone or two from the...- MrNewportCustom

I'm stuck in the 80s...automotively
The first set I bought for this car, I got at Discount Tire. I got the second set at the same place that does my brakes and will soon rebuild the front end: It's an independent frame and wheel shop. It's been a couple of years, but at the latter I paid about $400.00 for all four, including...- MrNewportCustom

Show Us Your Christmas Presents
:eusa_clap I have that book, C-Dot. You'll love it! Since I'm from a rather large family, with no one younger than fifteen (my youngest sister is forty-one), my siblings and I all agreed to not exchange. With far less money than I would have spent on twenty-one...- MrNewportCustom

I'm stuck in the 80s...automotively
Every time I buy tires for my '67 Chrysler, they ask me if I want the white walls showing: I've never had to ask for them. Regular tire stores. Lee- MrNewportCustom

It isn't Christmas Till you Have Heard This Song!
Carol of the Bells, instrumental version. Particularly when done on tubular bells, but this version by Manheim Steamroller runs a very, very close second. <object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie"...- MrNewportCustom

Counting Your Change...
Just a small sampling of the change I've found in my pockets (or just found) over the years. The coin that's mostly hidden beneath the dollar bill (silver certificate) and the "Sampung Sentamos" is a Chucky Cheese token. I know not how it came to land in my pocket, as I have never been...- MrNewportCustom

Silver Dollar
I'm not sure about 1922, but today you could get a candy bar. Also; bread, eggs, milk, bacon and a current issue of The National Enquirer if you're good at evading security cameras. ;) Lee- MrNewportCustom

Some of the dogs (those I can remember) that my family has had over the years: Gwendolyn, Stuff, Barney, Ginger (An Irish Setter - go figure!) and George. Good thing this isn't a cat name thread: I'd fill it up! lol Lee- MrNewportCustom

America's Best Pizza Joints - Article from GQ
It's been years since, and I've only been twice, but my vote still goes to Mary's Pizza Shack. Why Haven't I been in years? It's more than 400 miles from me, north of the Golden Gate Bridge. :( Lee- MrNewportCustom

The "Annoying Phrase" Thread
Remember the TV show Happy Days? There was an episode where The Fonz jumped a tank with a shark in it to prove something. It is considered that at that point the show entered the beginning of the end. To "jump the shark" basically means that someone or something has lost it's edge. I have an...- MrNewportCustom
