But is there any chance, in 1928, that this is a divided highway?
Or is the red convertible really trying to pass the blue sedan, coming into blind curve on a narrow, shoulderless two-way road carved out of a mountain?
Yikes!

I’m hoping the terrain is flatter than it looks, and that we can see farther ahead than I think.
At least for the moment there’s no oncoming traffic.
Small town in Oregon… the men and college boys are already gone or about to leave, for the War.

High school girls trying to look fashionable… 1941 is a cute year for clothes.
But there are a lot of home made cotton dresses… skirts will still be short till they’ve all graduated.

You can see how they pulled their wet hair flat and set pin-curls in the edges…. never brushed them out, when they dried, but carefully placed the ringlets with bobby pins.
The girl with the bow, on the left, halfway back, is probably popular.
But we didn’t enter the war until December that year.
Back in the 40’s kids in photos looked older, so the little story in my head was making these young-looking boys mostly freshman and sophomores … 14, 15, barely 16…
And VJ-Day coming before some were old enough to enlist or be drafted.
Sadly though, not all.

Just like any picture of my own high school class…
There is a Quincy Market in Brockton? This is eastern MA, where highways can go north and south at the same time, so not outside the realm of possibility. Or is the owner just lost?
The toque I’ll believe is part of Claude’s wardrobe, but the moustache?
At what button is Claude hoping not to be recognized as he nefariously pushes it?
P.S. (from yesterday):
PayPal still requires my credit card to be out on the ‘net, and I’m very leery of that.
Ahh….the living room hot dog cart! One of my very favorite ‘Cleos’!!!

Claude always makes Cleo dinner, so she thought she would treat him. Just enjoy, Claude.
Unchained Melody is my all time favorite song.
That baby trying to sing is just absolutely precious!
I even answered you a couple of times… you saw some.

Definitely mustard on mine – waaaaay back when I occasionally ate one – relish is good, anything spicy. Unless you have sauerkraut. Then mustard & kraut.
Crested caracaras are no strangers to spring fever.
These members of the falcon family make their intentions loudly known,
throwing their heads back with guttural calls and cackling cries to
attract a partner. Couples are loyal to each other and to their home,
mating for life and returning yearly to the same nesting site and even
the same tree. This courting pair is in the grasslands of Texas, the
northern extent of the crested caracara’s range.
The striking birds can be found in pastures, farmland,
deserts, and savannas from the southern United States all the way down
to the southern tip of South America.

I always enjoy these videos.

I love the logo/title design for the magazine.

And better yet… that it’s just a painting…
whew, yeah… just a painting, Susan.
Judging by the telephone poles, the road is straight and flat into the distance, rather than curving around the hillside.
Whew….
Hermiston High School, Hermiston Oregon 1941
Wall-to-wall raging hormones.
Sixteen in 1941 would mean born in 1925.
Started school at the height of the depression.

most of those boys will be in the war soon
Sad, but true!
Yeah, the juniors and seniors…

Different war, same story.
Look who got caught walking through the neighborhood in
Brockton, Massachusetts!
Love it !!
Is that a down power like?
not down, but definitely drooping
Cleo!! what are you doing there?
Her business?
There is a Quincy Market in Brockton? This is eastern MA, where highways can go north and south at the same time, so not outside the realm of possibility. Or is the owner just lost?
You mean… gulp… there are places where the highways can only go north or south…
and you can’t come home???
“You can’t get there from here.”

Mustard relish please. Something spicy.
And bacon bits!
one of my all-time movies and one of my all-time favorite songs!
Mama got me my first electric guitar on the stipulation that I learn that song.
Took a while, it was all over the fretboard.
And with a dog ya gotta have a beer.
BTW, I left a few comments on yesterday’s page.
Me too.

Mustard and kraut and then watch out!
Try kimchi. It’s good.
Banana peppers and mustard for me, with maybe a few onions (my COSTCO go-to snack!)

Crested Caracara Birds courting in Texas

Crested caracaras are no strangers to spring fever.

Not just ‘where did the cart come from?’… I’m more worried about ‘where did the hot dog seller go?‘
Did Cleo win his rig in a poker game… or walk it away from his downtown street corner while he ran into Adler’s for two secs to buy some cigs?
…
Or did she find it in the woods … following his untimely demise …
…. at the hands of some guys who work for a guy… the brother-in-law of the guy who covered his bet to Big Tony, until he couldn’t pay the vig?
….
Have a hot dog if you want…
But none for me, thanks.
Who knows how long they’ve been on that cart…. or where those paws have been!

Cleo, you know Claude always wants “the works.”
