I’ve been there. It’s on the Navajo reservation, near Monument Valley. That’s a panoramic camera shot. The hole in the rock is actually overhead. It’s called Eagle Eye Cave or Big Hogan.
There was some debate online about this was actually an early version of Fritzi Ritz, from the “Nancy” strip.
But “Nancy” started out as the “Fritzi Ritz” strip, years before she became the guardian of her niece, Nancy… And she was quite a fancy lady, hence her name.
I’m not sure whether she’d have evolved into this lady.
Great job. It does look like some sort of canal or ditch, not what I’d call a ravine… But it doesn’t matter.
What I do wonder, when I see pictures like this, is why there happened to be a photographer handy. Telephoto shots, probably…
But why didn’t he or she come help?
In the last one, it looks like the pup is considering going back down.
I hope not!
Happy Days was set in the 50s, but if course, actually filmed in the 70s.
Hard to believe the teenagers from that show are now at least in their late 60s. Henry Winkler is over 80, and Ron Howard, who was actually 20 when the show started, has reached his 70s.
Harder to believe that the teenagers from this photo of a real 1950s soda fountain are even older than that… Someone 16 in 1956 would be 86 now.
I tend to think of “old people” as having been around, you know, in the “old days” … like the 1920s and 30s. I have to remind myself that the old days get newer all the time.
It’s no longer the depression-era teenagers who are old now. Sadly, they’re gone. Those white- haired folk in the care home were the teenagers from my elementary school days.
Um… I’m not sure why you’re saying that.. but it’s actually never been private.
It was totally a government department when it was called the US Post Office, then took a step towards privatization in the early 1970s, when it was renamed the US Postal Service….
But AFAIK, it never really went further. Nighthawks can correct me if I’m mistaken about this stuff
The Postal Service is required to be self funding, and doesn’t get taxpayer money, meaning fees (ie stamps) for delivering the mail are supposed to cover the cost of it, including salaries, fuel and vehicles.
But it’s still owned by the government, and its board of directors are appointed by the president.
They appoint the postmaster general, which is not supposed to be a direct presidential appointment… but… you know….
So that’s how we got the (not so) wonderful Louis de Joy, and now he’s out, and of course, the White House had no influence either way…
Clark Bar .. but I haven’t seen one in years (or eaten one in decades.)
Okay, I googled… They disappeared for a few years, but are back, made by a new company. Supposedly the same.
A lot like Butterfinger, but IIRC, flatter, a bit flakier, and maybe more peanutbuttery. At least it was 50 years ago.
Oh Henry is soft and chewy… The American ones disappeared years ago… The Canadian were better anyway, though once again, it’s been decades since I had one.
Clark bars are dry and crunchy. Firm but easily crumbled. Nothing soft or caramelly.

Is this what happens if you wash your basset hound in hot water and put it in the dryer?

“HONEY? Have you seen the dog? I’ve looked everywhere!”
I think I’d buy him a red harness.
now try this one
It’s like looking for a black cat, in a coal cellar, with no lights, and which isn’t there!
I see it!
Whether I see it or not depends on whether or not what I see is “it”.
Just the head, not the whole body, of a dog with upright ears, maybe a great Dane
Nope. It’s a Dalmatian and it’s the whole body
Finally I can see it!
I had to make it larger, when I’d been trying by squinting, or making it smaller.
The whole image doesn’t fit on my tablet screen when it’s big enough for me to see… I have to scroll a little.

Sorry for the bad resolution… It’s a piece of a tiny picture.
This is even earlier…. Look how beautifully it’s drawn.
Not to mention,hand lettered
Words to live by.

Only 45 years ago….
We have the younger selves..
Tom Cruise and Sean Penn (maybe a couple of years older than the characters they played, though)
I do know you can’t see the title of the image easily, and thank you for the title of the movie.
You’re welcome.
I did see the file name their names, when I downloaded the image… but I still wanted to search for the movie and the date.

So cute. Rover just wants to play whatever game you’re playing.

Yes.
And isn’t it scary on how quickly, how fast, this has all happened? To US?
Soooo fast!
It’s nipping at my heels.
That’s why when you die, your heels are the first to shut down.

The United States Postal Service
It was always private.
How so? It is the only public service stated specifically in the Constitution.
Um… I’m not sure why you’re saying that.. but it’s actually never been private.

The Royal Post Office (Amongst all the other privatised (For politicians/businessmen’s greed/profits) utilities and services (Including the NHS).
Those are all privatized now? I guess I haven’t kept up!
The NHS isn’t, but more and more services are being provided by private companies, and private health care is being pushed more and more in adverts.
Shouldn’t you start with the big blocks and work your way down?

Hey! Thanks for the warning!
I sure hope my screen is bulletproof!!

Incredibly realistic!

Have you ever wondered what an uppy woodpecker looks like?
Yeah… probably not….
I was …. just…. you know… I mean… umm… neither have I… of course…
