I don’t know what kind of internet hookup you have, but I at least cannot see any other C and C commenters.

Welcome home.

Everybody seems to show up later and later these days.

“Dirty old men” ???
These guys are probably younger than you or me, Leslie!

I was thinking the same thing.

Plus, the ladies are out there to bring attention to their message, so they don’t want to be ignored.

And they’re wearing outfits that just look like skirts to us today… but at that time were considered skating costumes, not streetwear.

Like tutus and tennis whites, they showed way more leg than regular clothes.

Yeah, agreed!
Besides, even the bikini came out in May 1946…

Not complicated at all….

Not only should you paste them on thin cardboard, carefully cut them out, and fold them very exactly… You need to figure out how to assemble them and make the fragile cardboard mechanisms work.

And don’t forget, as advised in the upper left corner, to copy dialogue from the Popeye comics in the newspaper, and try to imitate the voices… I assume from the movie cartoons, cos hopefully, you don’t hear voices in the newspaper.

If you do, please put down the sharp scissors, and talk to your doctor.

Cute little baby is likely to be close to six feet tall, if that gives a hint about the grownups.

So this is the brain?

Now I know how it keeps information handy.

And where we got the expression “but I just can’t quite put my finger on it.”

It’s our opposable thumb that separates us from the animals

So is there an animal below that pointing thumb?

Is that how humans keep other creatures under their thumbs?

It immediately suggested a goofy looking ostrich to me….

I was surprised at the other suggestions.

Two people holding hands? That’s more than right-brained, it’s hallucinatory.

But I could maybe see a long-necked sad-faced man with 19th century style muttonchops. 😁

OK, I agree with what you said about the picture Nighthawks posted, but why did you post this one, of two people holding hands right below it?

The top one is by the Russian illusionist painter I mentioned the other day.

Nighthawks used to post quite a few of his works.

I couldn’t remember his name, and still can’t, thought I used to know it. I recognize his signature, though I can’t read it. 

This one is more sketchy than the paintings we’ve seen here, which were mostly landscapes, with hidden people, and trees that turn into houses, etc, rather like Octavio Ocampo’s.

It’s a portrait of the man in the photo below…

Who is….

of course….
writer Ernest Hemingway…

And his portrait above

also illustrates…

his short novel, or novella, “The Old Man and the Sea
.”

That’s the one!

The signature I can’t read.

It starts with an O and the other letters must be Cyrillic.

We’ve seen a bunch of his work on this site, but none for a while..

Anyone we should have heard of?

Unless we lived near Olympiapark in Munich which is a fair distance from our home…
124.000 fans – 74.000 paying in the Stadium, 50.000 free on the

Olympiaberg
(“Tayhill”).

Maybe one port-a-potty and the one toilet at the “Olympia-Alm” (a tiny beer-garden; sold out of beverages within minutes) for the latter.
That happened end of July.

Nope. But I’m not surprised, at either the young lady’s identity or the fact that I failed to ID her from the “before” photo.

I used to see photos of her like the younger one when she was up-and-coming, and I was quite surprised when she adopted her present look.

I can’t say “when she was young”, because while I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s 30, i doubt she’s 35 yet.

I’m not a fan, particularly… but she’s presently one of the most famous people in the whole world.

Mostly, obviously, to a younger crowd. LOL.

She’s…
Taylor Swift

Thanks… that’s about what I expected, considering that people have always gotten a year or two older since you thought about it😁

My Internet was too iffy to risk my chance to post while I looked things up.

Aviation Week in Lyon!

May of 1910… Wow, only 7 years after Kitty Hawk and look at all those cool planes.

Let’s go…

They’re selling tickets to go to and return from Lyons.
It doesn’t say by what conveyance.
I’m thinking trains, if you’re already in France, and ships from the US.

I don’t think the planes are ready for passengers.

My house has sold and i have found a new place to move into.
I’ve got to come up with $1500 for the inspections and title fees.
I don’t have it, so this afternoon when i get done running around i’m going to start a GoFundMe.
I’m also going to eventually hire a couple of guys and a truck to move things bigger than a box. And i don’t have any cash for that.

Kernville. Half way in-between Depoe Bay and Lincoln City.
I’s above the mouth of the river before it empties into the estuary.
