I've been on Route 66. Disappointing; no one even tried to kick me.

Kansas City was home to an early wooden plank racetrack.

Later the track was demolished & the grounds developed into a "carnival park", which stands in ruins today, last I knew.

When I was very young there was a slaughterhouse approximately half a mile west of our house, and a dairy farm with live cows a few miles north. There was a whole lot less b.s. between us and those places 50-55 years ago, and if the wind was blowing the right way we'd get a whiff. That's nothing like actually growing up on a cattle ranch, but it helps to explain when I write that I could smell ^ those two photos.

Always smelled like moooney to me. I’d rather smell that than the brown air of LA. Enjoy your AOC veggie ribeye for Mother’s Day tomorrow.

"...photo from 1920 features the Stetson Harmony Circle including John B. Stetson Company salesmen sporting several of the styles offered at the time. This photo was originally published in the March 1920 edition of the 'Hat Box'." -- Stetson University duPont-Ball Library Archives.

I'd wear any one of those, but would probably have trouble getting past door frames with the one worn by the fellow seated on the floor on the far right.
