    I enjoy monochrome for some subjects but also color for others. B&W can be dramatic and induce certain moods or feelings that color can't. However, I don't have a preference for one over the other.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Yeah, you're right about the post Beatles Paul McCartney songs. While the Beatles were long gone by time I got into music, Linda and Paul McCartney's Wings did produce some good songs that I liked, such as Band on the Run. They also sang the song in one of the James Bond films. My brother liked...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I grew up with my parents listening mainly to C&W. My mom especially would have good old George Jones on the record deck much of the time. So I grew up with the likes of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rogers, Loretta Lynn and others. I still enjoy C&W and directly as a result of being introduced to this...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    I bought these two beaded lady's necklaces about a decade ago and I wonder if anyone here can tell me anything about them. I think that the stone is red jasper and the fittings are silver and the provenance that I was given is that they were bought in Arizona in the 1980s / 1990s.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I went to the Guggenheim Museum in NYC to educate myself on modern art and it was interesting. However, I also went to the Cartoon museum in San Francisco and I was blown by an original Bill Watterson panel of a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon. And that was fun. I studied art in high school and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Size 44 1968 G1 with a 1980s JCPenney denim jacket. Right, I'm ready for shopping in the nearest Walmart!

    You know you are getting old when:

    I know that I'm getting older as I slowly realize that I no longer throw out stuff but instead put them away in boxes in the garage or attic. Old clothing, old shoes, bits of wire, old equipment, books, whatever. They'll come in handy one day I rationalize. If I'm not careful I may have gotten...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Never thought about wearing a denim jacket under a G1 as a mid layer. That is a good idea, and looks cool. I'll give it a try out.

    Springtime in Scotland: morning by the shores of the Beauly Firth and with the still snow clad Strathfarrar Hills in the distance.

    A true artist suffers for their art.......or so they say. :)

    Ah, Gedenkstaette Buchenwald. I suppose that the local name Buchenwald was there before the camp. When I lived in Bavaria there were many Buchenwalds around as it just means a place with Beech trees.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Er, I don't get it either. And I lived in good ol' Deutschland. Buchenwald was a concentration camp near Weimar. But Buchenwald also means Beech woods. But as they used to say, the thinnest book in the world is a German joke book. :)

    The East German (German Democratic Republic) flag was the same as the West German flag, just with a Socialist emblem (state seal) in the middle. Anyhow, the West German flag (red-black-gold) came about in the revolutions of the 19th century and, as to your sailors coming from Magdeburg, the same...

    These balloon bomb attacks were covered up at the time by the government and, though they were ineffective, they did kill six people, a woman and five children (all in the same incident).

    Good shots of the mountains. The Ararat mountain is where some people believe that the Ark of the Bible ended up.

    Yeah, just love the Morgans.
