Looks like one of those car-chain pileups on some fog-shrouded highway.

I was all set to go cross-eyed before I read the caption. That’s a lot of boats!

Neither, Bing Image, Google, or Tineye could find a match.
Please, nighthawks, what is the U.R.L. of the site you found it?
Activating “Inspect” gives only the JPG title which all search engines I’ve come across don’t search for.

More than a bit fanciful.
A P51 at combat speed (this is an early mark with the straight tail) would be traveling in the 300 miles per hour range. That’s an early version ME109 with the braces chasing him.
 
Activate the     LINK     and then click the cover and subsequent pages. to read the story (again the advertisements will take you back to your childhood).

I can’t get it to work.

I had no trouble getting it to work. My computer screen is about 2′ from me, so I focused on that with my fingers in the indicated position.

I got it to work, too, as well.
Think of it much like a stereogram, you kinda halfta relax your eyes. I found it beneficial to look off to the left of the computer screen her (where the background is well lit with pale yellow).
I’ve seen this one waaaaaay back in my younger years.
Ahh… Memories, which appears to be the theme today from nighthawks.

Used to happen to me accidentally, as a kid… And tiny floor tiles sometimes jumped up at me in 3D.

It’s a question of your eye muscles relaxing till your left and right eye images move apart.

You see the little finger bit where they overlap.

The tiles jumped, I know now, because mismatched ones overlapped in my vision, and created a 3d image.

Not cross eyed… that’s actually the opposite direction,

As baconboy points out it’s the basis of seeing stereograms.

Looks like a mash-up on the Mustang. It has the bubble canopy of the D-K models. The tail has the fin at the base, as it should for those models, but the fin stops abruptly, which I’ve never seen. I have seen the XP-51 Apache, the A-36 Apache, P-51 A, B, C, D, H, & K models, along with TP-51 trainers and racing mods.

I knew something else was off with the canopy, but I couldn’t remember what.
Your other clarifications I missed entirely.
Thanks, for that.

It’s actually fairly obvious when your eye happens to fall on it.

Well my eye hasn’t fallen on it. I’m looking for something rectilinear with white and black keys. Everything here seems to be curvy.

I think its being rectilinear in a sea of curves is why it caught my eye.

But it’s very small…

Yeah, there are an awful lot of them in that puzzle!

Plus some confusion over things that look like noses, but might not really be noses, and which ones count.

I was thinking there must be somebody here who wants the puzzle solution…

Now that I’ve slaved over it for hours …ok, minutes. But lotsa minutes, honest!

Just probably not an hour’s worth.
I dunno, I don’t time myself.

I can tell you that the first time through, I missed one, and I was almost convinced there were only 8.

Later, when I picked it up to search again, I saw it immediately and wondered why I didn’t before.

That’s how these puzzles are. They trick you!

Don’t be fooled… All nine are there!

So when you’ve looked, and MAYBE looked again… check HERE!

From yesterday.
A slip of the cursor that picked up an extra bit of irrelevancy (it’s relevant today).
Sunrise today in Santa Rosa occurs at 06:48 hrs. and sunset at 17:01 hrs. for a day length of 10 hours and 13 minutes.
 

Today’s Songs:
1. ‘The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,’ 2. ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,’ 3. ‘The Shifting Whispering Sands,’ and 4. ‘The Stroll,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe, 5. ‘Bunny Bites.’ 1.The video accompanying this Bobby Vee song is so bad it’s hilarious. Bobby Vee is lip syncing to the studio version though so the music is good.
2. The original by ‘The Band’ not Joan Baez’s. I like both.
3. The ‘Western Writers of America’ lists this in its list of top 100 western songs of all time. I come up with a different interpretation every time I hear it. This is the full almost 8 minute Billy Vaughn version.
4. The ‘Diamonds’ were formed in Toronto in 1953. I chose the video I did because it’s a good mix of stills and dance clips.
5. ‘Bunny Bites’ are actually miniature brownies made with cocoa.

Wow… my cursor slips, and I might put an extra letter in a word, or leave out an apostrophe.

Your cursor slips, and bam! You’ve added information on a whole other song! LOL

Thanks for the numbers. That will help.

We’ve had that Bobby Vee video here before, and I looked it up….

In 1962 there were no videos for songs as we know them today. A few performances were filmed for promotional or other purposes, but no television shows or channels played those regularly.

YouTube videos of old music are mostly film of bands playing, as on the Dick Clark Show… and clips from movies where the songs were used… neither made for that purpose.

…..

But this video is very racy for 1962. Those short skirts and skimpy bikinis would not have been shown on television… and especially those legs kicking into the air.

It’s a short film made for a system called Scopitone… special coin operated jukeboxes with small screens, that played them in bars.

The audiences were adults, not teenagers, and the little films were meant to be a bit titillating… though this one is unintentionally funny.

I’ve since read that Bobby Vee was involved in the development of Scopitone, as well.

I’m a little annoyed at Canada Post (and only possibly the U.S.P.S.)
I had to have my card to StelBel weighed so the postage could be determined by whatever arcane and/or esoteric methods Canada Post’s people use (it’s been so long since I actually mailed a letter I had no idea what postage rates are / still don’t).
The annoying part comes in at the part where I asked for a delivery time estimate; minimum ten business days.
I mean even with crossing the border I could be in Massachusetts in five days worth of driving if I pushed it and presumably one or both post offices will be using a plane at some point.

Amazon, yesterday:
“4:50 PM
Delivery attempted, but business was closed.
Holyoke, US”
They’ll try again Monday…

Hmmm.

A hospital is never closed, and Cooley Dickenson is in Northampton, about 25 miles from Holyoke.

Then again, maybe they only deliver mail when someone is at the front desk, which at my local hospital closes at 5…

And Holyoke might be where the post office is for the region.

It still should arrive Monday…

Amazon always beats the post office because they use contract parcel carriers like FedEx and DHL, that ship by air, and not the pokey US Postal Service.

I sent a card last week… I’m not sure what day… But it wasn’t there yet, yesterday…. unless Stel truly can’t remember getting cards.

She seems eager for them, plus it would probably be sitting where she could see it, so I’m guessing she’d know whether it came.
