Bend Oregon, the year I was born, 1946. The Tower theater sign is still there, the rest not so much.
My oldest, probably 5th grade, late at night in a bar in San Francisco. Kids those days........sheesh.
The cook down the street, doing his day job......
Me in grad school, on a beach in Mexico with a tome of some sort.
Unless you have an implementable solution, a screed is a waste of time. I've campaigned long against my generation calling police pigs; I may not only stop, I'll add legislators to the genre. Not Hillary so much.
ReplyDeleteI'll waste my time as I see fit, I imagine. And if I had to pick Ms. Clinton over, say Mr. Cruz........or any imaginable gop lackey.
DeleteMuch can be surmised by the photos one displays.
ReplyDeleteI like the eye-wear D is sporting - cool!
Yeah, he tried to explain how they work once.
DeleteI think it was cool you were able to post from two days ahead ;p. Your talents are many and varied.
ReplyDeleteSo, is that cook a teacher?
I know, it's a talent........
DeleteYeah, he's the chair of the chem dept at the local univ. He has this program that if you're wearing similar glasses, you can see him walking though a 3D hologram of a molecule, pointing out it's components. Pretty cool.
Same birth year - different pictures. But the times were fine in many creative and outrageous ways. Happiness rules.
ReplyDeleteAh, were it only so.....but it does rule occasionally, and that's enough.
DeleteInteresting, though I enjoy your screeds too...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks TB, I enjoy your long waited screeds also. Been a hell of a party, eh?
DeleteFrom here the tome looks like it might be Das Kapital.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture of Bend. They were sure into classic cars.
If you click on the image you can see two cops in the lower right hand corner ripping off a parking meter. Not much has changed. On the other hand I've recently begun to think of the world I grew up in in the 50s and 60s as quaint. I'm sure not whether it's the elapsed time or the iPhone 5 I just got that can hack into a parking meter with a voice command.
It wasn't Marx's tome, alas. As I remember it was the current edition of Exercise Diagnostics from Wasserman et al....I've always thought of myself as a Che that leaned to the academic side...medicine...silly, but there you go.
DeleteI enlarged the photo of Bend - very cool scene. I like all the vertical signs.
ReplyDeleteI occasionally took books to the beach in grad school, but could never prevent myself from lapsing into a coma.
