By looking at it just right, I can get both moving.

I feel cheated.

No matter how I focus on those wheels or on the grid of similar ones you told us a few days ago were NOT moving…

I can’t see any of them move. Ever.

I’ve been good.

I’ve posted here.

I made the solution yesterday.

I’ve played nice.

..

I deserve some moving wheels! (sniffle…)

Oh – that flute-sequence to the end is “O Du lieber Augustin” (alles ist hin).
Augustin was a famous figure in the times of the Black Plague in Vienna where he was accidentally assumed dead (being dead drunk) and put in a mass grave, awoke, made quite a racket and was torn out – becoming a beacon of hope in those dark times.

Added, of course, because here, that tune is often played …originally live, on a steam calliope, then with mechanical music rolls, but for many years now, by a recording… on a carousel…

The spinning wheel on which you ride a painted pony.

The flute is probably the closest instrument they had in the band to a calliope.

A recorded calliope version is occasionally heard, as well, coming from an ice cream truck.

This picture link is the hot-rod from the “Beach Boys” album cover.
According to the article it actually had an Oldsmobile V-8 installed at the time.

@ Everybody

My rewiew of “The Suicide Squad” 2021
 
Plot: A Mad Max movie makes better sense
Scene to scene continuity: If there were not the ‘X’ “this-is-what’s-happening” captions, quite nonsensical at times (one’s written on a toilet seat).
Pseudo sciences: Chemistry / Biology: Level of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird.
Physics: Coyote / Roadrunner.
Fight scenes: Semi-good make-up, a lot of C.G.I.   …and they may have thought they were equaling Tarantino (they weren’t).
One liners: Badly written and not delivered well.
Destruction of the illegal lab building: Unbelievable; but if you’re a Monty Python Fan, there are two split seconds where it’s obvious someone on the C.G.I. crew is too (and I mean split seconds).
Language: Superfluous obscenities are at a medium-Stephen King-level (and they do detract).
Morality: Characters: We’re supposed to feel sorry for some but I didn’t.
Good versus evil: “Good” won but only because it was supposed to (I think Gunn was trying for good-people-do-bad-things-for the-right-reasons; he failed).

 
Don’t spend any money, but if you can get it on DVD from your library in future….maybe. Why did I keep watching? Mainly because of the actresses. I was wondering if they would eventually show some of the could-not-be-cut frustration I think they must have felt being the only ones actually earning their cheques (well, maybe Arnie did too, but he was voicing a shark so you never see him).
NOT a movie for kids.
While not as bad as 1998’s “Godzilla,” it can easily use either foot to push “Godzilla” off the stairs entirely by planting one in “Godzilla”‘s back (the fall will be very short for either movie). (apostrophe grammar?)

That kitten has no idea what’s going on. It is just looking for a warm place to take a nap. I’m slightly surprised the dog doesn’t just pick the kitten up by the scruff of the neck and move it.

Pretty sweet interior on that Deuce Coupe.

The Beach Boys car songs certainly are catchy, but aside from the Little Old Lady from Pasadena, I can’t really identify with them. I like their beaches and babes songs better.

Re the Cyrcle, I always liked this song, but I had no idea they were so clean cut!

Here we go again… the world’s most lenient Dogparents watch indulgently…

as their adored little angel prepares to annihilate a cat, some squirrels, and at least one Amazon drone.

Do we hear a “NO!”

Heaven forfend! Harshness like that could cause the poor darling to grow up insecure.

Do we even hear a “Confound it Cleo!” ??

Of course not! It’s not a family member or possession that’s in harm’s way.

So what do we hear?

An observational pun.

Really.

Now, I like a pun as well as the next person…. probably as well as the next SIX people….

But honestly… this is NOT the best example of parenting skills, nor is it the height of good judgement.

it won’t teach Cleo any lessons… though that ship carrying that opportunity has long since sailed out of the harbor.

And besides… some would say it’s not even true.

That rebel has FOUR paws.

It’s called “having a teenage kid” and “resignation”.
Still having some kind/sense of humor left – priceless.

Susan, I await your solution. I searched up and down the left column of today’s Clio & Co and I can’t find the one that’s different. Aren’t we supposed to find the panel that’s different, or is it the two that match? Anyway, I can’t find either.

Noticed on my calendar for today… even though I don’t have a record of most peoples’…..

Today, if I’m correct, is Montana Lady and her Mountain Man‘s 57th wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary!!

Stop by the Tiki for banana daks… or champagne… or another beverage, if you prefer… on the house, to help you celebrate!

Meanwhile…. just for you:

….

This one isn’t an anniversary song, per se… but I love the way the video celebrates long relationships…

Andy Grammer:

Congratulations!

Oh, Susan, that was sooooooooooo sweet! Thank you for remembering! 57 years! Do you remember what you were doing 57 years ago? About this time I was getting my hair done, and getting to St. Genevieve’s on time. What a long time ago that was!!!

Thanks for the champagne breakfast!

Why, I was only a TODDLER…

No…wait… I was not even a whisper of a dream, 57 years ago…

A future being…. a… um… I mean… I’m only …. uh…. Mumble mumble…..

Why do you ask??

Who told you anything different??

What did they say?

Don’t believe EVERYTHING you hear.

I COULD be telling the truth…

Maybe…

Congratulations, Montana Lady! Something for others to aspire to.

I’m at 39 for this one. Had I remained married to the first, I’d be at 47. Although he died 16 years ago, so I suppose that wouldn’t really count.

Portrait of:
Salmon Portland Chase:   Secretary of the Treasury under Abraham Lincoln
 
 
Quoting from:
The World Book Encyclopedia Volume 3 C
Field Enterprises Educational Corporation
Merchandise Mart Plaza
Chicago 54, Illinois
Library of Congress Catalog Number 63-7006
Page: 299
 
“….He served as Secretary of the Treasury
under President Abraham Lincoln. Chase is considered
one of the greatest secretaries, because of his work dur-
ing the Civil War. He maintained national credit and
raised money to carry on the war. Chase laid the basis
of the present national banking system. After he re-
signed in 1864 because of a policy dispute, Lincoln,
who disliked him personally, named him Chief Justice
in recognition of his ability. As Chief Justice, Chase
presided capably over the impeachment trial of Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson.”

When the new $20s came out in1998, I put aside two old ones. Last year I looked to see if they’d gained value, then researched older paper currency. It turns out that the collector value of paper bills closely follows inflation. You don’t gain anything with them, but don’t lose anything either.
