Different species – remember those Canadian goslings a couple of years ago? The ones my husband hand-fed?
There was one that used to pinch my husband’s hand.
Yesterday he attended the Botanical Garden here in Munich.
There was a Canadian Goose breeding on a tiny, much fought-over island in the large artificial pond. Her mate kept watch.
She saw my husband, dived into the water, and came to him to be fed! So sweet!
“Here are two photos of the Motormat Drive-In in the Route 66 city of Los Angeles, California. It was invented by Kenneth C. Purdy in 1948. The food tray was sent out on rails.”
In the comments it was said that those little striped awnings stayed over the trays on their journey, in case of rain or seagulls. You put the money on the tray, and if you had change coming, their send it back out.
Some complained that it was an attempt to get rid of carhops, and they preferred the cute girls on roller skates.
Still… It was ahead of it’s time, until some bright person figured out that putting a window in an outer wall and having the cars line up and drive past was way cheaper.
I have to say this is different from most of these
because…
the objects don’t look exactly like the ones it says to find. But close enough.
Solution, AFAIK…
There’s an anchor on each of two toy boats, and a heart cut-out on the leg of the worktable. The braid in the girl’s hair also be said to resemble hearts.
The compass is on the rocket she’s holding. And the teacher’s dress is printed with umbrellas.
It was a push button selector, so he could use the stick to push the channel buttons. Only three channels, and he didn’t like ITV because of the adverts, so used to mainly stick with BBC1 & BBC2.
BTDT, although I was older by then. We took turns turning the knobs, adjusting the antenna, and replacing the tubes (which we bought from the Rexall dime store).
We didn’t have a TV till I was 7 or 8, and at first we kids weren’t allowed to touch it, not even change the channel.
But eventually I was the one, being the oldest, who had to stand close to it and yell to my father when the picture was okay, while he was on a ladder outside twisting the antenna. Then I had to try the other channels to see if they were still okay. (There were only 3.)
Of course, he’d come back in and yell because he thought one or the other was messed up, which was my fault, and we’d have to do it again.
When I was in high school he bought a fancy aerial with a rotating base you could control from inside the house. He was thrilled… And my mother was glad he wasn’t climbing the ladder. I was just happy I didn’t have to do that job any more.
By the 70s, it was my brother who had a couple of remotes like the one in this picture, but they weren’t very reliable.
Shiny rails, these must be used or they’d be rusty. Keep on your guard if you’re walking along them, especially if you’re on a bridge, in a tunnel, or if you’re chasing a roadrunner!
Our entire railway network is fenced in (Apart from some industrial/docks sidings sort of thing), we’re only a small country. So you can’t walk the tracks anyhoo.
According to the person who posted it on Facebook, along with other pictures he says he took in the same region…. and I have no reason to doubt him… it’s in Pennsylvania.
Hardly any rails are fenced in the US.
You can walk in very dangerous spots. I’ve told here about putting coins on the track as a kid.
About 2 miles from my house there’s a more suburban crossing, at a fairly busy street, for the new passenger rail line. There’s an automatic crossing gate, and there are red lights and a bell…
At least three people have been killed in the 2 or 3 years it’s been in operation. 2 were homeless people, probably drunk or a bit crazy, who apparently ignored the signals and walked around the gate arms.
The third was in a car… There were witnesses, who said he appeared to have raced the arms, but one fell on his bumper. Instead of jumping out and running, he sat in the car and gunned the gas pedal, trying to free it. He probably wasn’t sober either.

Aww…. They all got Mama’s nose.
Or is that Daddy’s nose?
It’s so darn hard to tell!
Everybody comfy?

Great story! I’m sure he got a lot of fun out of it, both in the feeding and telling the story to friends.

Imagine having to climb up there if you’re wet, exhausted, hungry, and extremely terrified of heights.
I’m sure you’d do it, somehow… anything to get rescued. But it wouldn’t be easy.
And what a night they had
There would have been sailors waiting to help them up the scrambling nets. My Dad rescued sailors like this in WWII.
speaking of disasters…
I was so proud of my guess… till I realised it’s right there in the file name.
But I didn’t peek! Honest!
I knew
And that
The filename doesn’t say that part.

From a Facebook page about Route 66…

Back when the land was waaaay cheaper!
That too.

Whoa! As a rizzo, those are the “interesting” times!

Eek! Me too… If you hadn’t said that, I might still!
Are you certain you misread it?

My father had a long stick with a notch on the end to turn the sound up and down.
Obviously a brilliant man. Did he, perchance, use it to get your attention when he needed you to change the channel?

Then your brother just needed a “remote reminder stick” like your father’s.
Wouldn’t have worked in that super permissive family.
Too bad. Super permissive is most often a handicap for kids.
