I have such a strong sense of deja vu looking at this photo, that I think I must have seen this group previously. They have clearly become habituated to each other and natural instincts suppressed. Cute, though, and the parakeets are quite pretty.
Someone I knew well years ago had bought a neighbor’s ’56 Bel-Air after she passed away, having walked and driven past it all through high school and young adulthood.
She’d bought it new, and it still had only something like 55,000 miles on it, in the early 1980s.
He had it repainted in its original colors. He told me there were Chevrolet color codes on the backs of the panels, and the shop could still get matching paint from a custom paint dealer.
His friends laughed and said they were “old lady colors”, but he wanted it to look the same as it had when he admired it in her driveway.
…
It’s funny how different it looked from this car, in a two tone light green… I’d call it kind of avocado, but I think it’s called Laurel green.
He drove it as his regular car for years, in beautiful condition.
In the early 90s it was hit by an apparently drunk driver when it was parked downtown.
The body shop quoted something like $4000 to fix it, with the custom paint and all, so he sold it as is, for a few grand, and bought a little Japanese car.
I just read that they can go for upwards of $50,000 now.
Finally gave up on #10 after another 45. Turns out I can barely make out the one I missed. Going to have cataract surgery on May 23 and June 13. Maybe I’ll do a little better after that.
Another good one by Pete Beard.
But I think he may have made a minor error at the 3 minute 33 second mark.
He states the illustrator of the John Dix(sp?) 1864 edition is uncredited.
My attachment shows what appears to be the name Williamson as part of the second illustration in the series (it appears above the act/scene description).
A quick Google search found nothing on that name as an artist in 1864.
A stray thought: Perhaps, given the run that we are on, these magazine covers should be title “The New Yorkie.” Or The Olde Yorkie, for that matter.
Okay, it was a stray thought, maybe an orphan.
This LINK will take you back to this date last year where I posted a picture of the three versions of the “Medal of Honor” and a link to the “National Medal of Honor Museum” (still valid) giving the medals’ descriptions.
Scrolling down, you’ll find the Lobster Newburg recipe I posted as a reply to Plods.

Gee, that’s a really thought provoking image./s
Yea, my thought was “Too darn close to the road!”
Hi Greyhame, I replied to your questions about onions on a “Philly” cheese steak.
To save you the search, the answer is “not Philly”; though my preference is always Yes Onions!
All that traffic would keep them awake all night!
which came first, the house or the road?
the Colossus of Rhodes
Nope. Too large.
I thought that the collusus stradled the entrance to the harbor?
108 feet.
No. That was embellishment long after the fact.
“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world.
Like a Colossus, and we petty men.
Walk under his huge legs and peep about”……………..Julius Caesar Act 1

A beautiful car.
Don’t you wish you still had that car!
I wish I ever had.it… It wasn’t mine.

Boys.
Just a great photo in so many ways.
Looks like a painting to me.
Would love to see mom’s face when they walk in the house!
They have a garden hose!
On my first pass through the FTTD, I’ve got seven. We’ll talk later.
I was able to find nine. The last one ended up being too obvious.
I found #10 this morning while listening to “Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me.”
Up to nine myself, now. (+ ~60 min)
Finally gave up on #10 after another 45. Turns out I can barely make out the one I missed. Going to have cataract surgery on May 23 and June 13. Maybe I’ll do a little better after that.
the best move i ever made! good luck on your eye surgery!.
I am considering it too.
you get new lenses! great invention!
Six tonight. Good night.
it was a lot harder than it looks. i only got 6, as well.
Yup yup yup… TEN differences again today, puzzle fans and Cleoites…
And a sophisticated crowd of City canines if ever there was one.
I was going to be alliterative and say “Manhattan mutts”, but I’d be faced with too many snarling snouts.
They take themselves seriously, these downtown dogs.
…
It looked impossible before I started, but it isn’t, really…
Once your eyes get used to the sleek stylishness, everything begins to emerge.
Be sure to look all over the map, so to speak… and when you’re ready to compare what you found with my finds …
I think I’ve got all 10.
The well-groomed gentledog in the middle looks just like a friend of ours…
My husband agrees.
Picked up all ten this week.
Yup, missed that one too.
wow, I actually got all ten, wasn’t that bad for a change
Ten! I must be getting used to how you think, Stel!
Look what I had to pay for sugar the other day ! ! !

Love the Roy Orbison-K D Lang collaboration.

You get my vote for New Yorkie.

Nine and the music is done. I’ll have to read Susan’s answers to see what I missed.
