    I have found that expressing ones dislikes for any art form leads to the same never-ending back and forth you find in any Ford/Chevy, Mac/PC, my grandchild/your grandchild discussion between two dissenting opinions. Therefore, I avoid it in my own detatched, yet part-of-it, way. I've...

    42 Swing Tunes I went to Costco, today, and found a CD set titled, Sentimental Journey. Three discs, 28 songs each, $14.79. Disc 2 just ended with String of Pearls (#13) and Martha (#14). I'm putting disc three in now to hear Somebody is Knockin' at Your Door and 13 more songs. A very nice...

    MrNewportCustom - Caught on Google!

    My brother was surfing Google Earth Street View and found . . . his brother!!! So, he emailed the screen captures to me. No! I wasn't sneaking out of some paramour's house! :D I remember this day. I was about to get into the Chrysler to go to work when a burgandy-ish colored...

    My parents named me Indiana Jones

    Why not? I once dated a woman named Dakota. (People would ask her, "North or South?") I also have a nephew named Shelby. My brother specifically named him after the Shelby Cobra. I once worked with a guy named, truthfully, Jim Beam. That was his actual given name. No, alcohol never touched...

    LA Quake - 7/29 11:42 5.8 magnitude

    Roller skates. Earthquakes don't bother me. I was in San Diego when it hit: I'd just called the main office in Azusa and the Agnes, our receptionist, transferred my call to Michelle. Michelle always answers on the first ring, but this time she answered on the fourth ring and immediately...

    Bicycle Helmet?!

    Sorry to be slightly off-topic, but . . . Actually, no. Even at the time of this accident, helmets were required throughout the race, but could be ditched for the sprint to the finish line of any stage that ended with a climb. See here. The photo above is of an accident that happened on a...

    Show Us Your Oldest Books

    I Am an American This is one of the books I had in mind when I started this thread, but I couldn't find it at the time. While doing a bit of cleaning last week, it turned up in a box I can't recall placing it. I bought it at a yard sale a few years ago. If memory serves, I paid $5.00 for it...

    Graphic Design from the 1920s and 1930s in Travel Ephemera

    Thank you, Splatt. Those are wonderful. My favorites are always automotive. I have a couple (modern) books filled with automotive advertisements from several eras. I have to admit, though, that my favorite is slightly more modern: It's about the automotive photography firm, Boulevard...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    I hauled the rest of my collection out of storage and took a few more pictures. This isn't everything: I'll add the rest later. 828 format. 620 format. After a few hours of shooting, I got a little creative. I'll post the whole camera at another time. 4X5 format. Lee
