Helleborus orientalis, called Lenten rose, because it’s in bloom during Lent, though it’s unrelated to roses, and in the same family as buttercups.

In fact, it’s popular in places where other flowers are late, because it will bloom in late winter, or very early spring, even if, like this, there’s still snow on the ground

You have to be cautious with Hellebores, though, cos many are poisonous.

The trolley is cool, and I’d like to ride it… but if there was no room to drive alongside the tracks, I think some people would rather have a road.

What kind of goody do you offer to an aardvark?

Um … I think the same thing you give this guy, whom I didn’t recognize from this angle, but Google identifies as a giant anteater.

Aardwarks have flat piggy noses and upright bunny ears.

But I think you could please either with a nice bowl of ants.

This is the view I think I would have recognized….

That’s
Jack Benny on the left.
I don’t know who the other man is. But the lady, whatever her name,
looks like
Andrea Martin.

Shown with him….

the woman is ..

Benny’s wife of many years (most of them still to come in 1939), and often comedy partner, Mary Livingstone.

and the other man…
is his long time announcer, Don Wilson.

Wow. I thought it was funny enough that the early robins around here used to show up when there were still pyracanthus berries on the trees, and seemed to get a bit tipsy from them.

Nothing to this degree! They’d just stagger a little, or their flight would look wobbly, and people would say it was from the berries.

Most of the pyracanthus has died or been cut down by now, and there’s so much more traffic and housing that I seldom see a robin any more, but I miss them.

Never saw the movie, but the back’s blown out of one computer (?) and Farrah Fawcett’s nylons look oddly two-toned. Maybe that’s a shadow?

Hmmm….

I’m pretty sure that’s just overlapping shadows on Farrah’s legs… you can see something similar on Jenny’s. The light is coming from all different directions, from those tubes on the walls.

And in 1976, most computers were mainframes, and office desks had “dumb terminals”. Very few people had desktop computers, and I don’t think anybody was sure what they were going to look like in the future.

Hmmm… Maybe the Apple II was already out, which looked a bit like that, or maybe this was just some artist’s conception of a communications terminal, not a computer.

I saw the movie, and i don’t remember what those were, but I remember being impressed with the futuristic look of everything that now looks quaint.

In real life, a lot.

In a Dudolf puzzle… yeah, not so much.

In the world of Gergely Dudas, animals match each other, except for one or two details… in this case…

HINT….

Foxes are pretty much red pandas without the dark eye patches

If you just want to compare findings, though you probably don’t need it….

here’s my solution:

For you navy history buffs. The Mark 14 Torpedo. And all of it’s problems, and why.
And a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.

I hear Cass Elliot singing it in my head. I like Doris Day’s version at least as well.

Question: Is the back-up singer in Elvin Bishop’s band directly related to Joe Cocker?

If you mean the frizzy haired guy in the tan suit… That’s actually Elvin Bishop. Check out him taking a bow at the end.

The lead vocalist on this song isn’t Bishop.
