My research says the dog’s name is Snooper. He was one of many Clark Gable owned during his lifetime.
The car is a 1936 Dusenberg. It is featured in another photo of Clark Gable below.
Sune Envall (Swedish designer).
The quote below comes from here. LINK He is apparently still active in automobile design.
“ Sune Envall is a well-known Swedish designer with passion for motorcycles, cars and vessels. Hezz began his career in Sigvard Bernadotte’s legendary design studio and has also worked with design forzz both Chrysler and Volvo as well as Husqvarna and Thule. Later on, he settled down in Asia where hezz continued his design career with assignments for Toyota Racing. Sune’s passion for motor vehicleszz together with his fantastic sense of illustration and design make his works completely unique, andzz they are guaranteed to attract attention in your home. His artwork goes perfectly as prints and posterszz as well as when they get the honor of decorating an entire wall!.”
“z” is not often seen as a double letter so I use zz as a formatting cue for Word programming when I’m trying to follow as closely as possible the formatting of the caption I’m copying (if I have to use “frazzled” / or the like / I switch to qq) .
It is a lot faster to type zz at the end of the line and then use the “Replace” function to change them to <p> all at once.
It was 02:17 hrs. E.D.T. when I first posted the above, and I noticed an error I had made. I made another one when I corrected that one using the “raw” version still containing the z’s and not noticing that.
The caption with the proper line breaks. The odd breaks here are due to WordPress.

Oh, Cleo, you made me laugh out loud with that one. We have a book club here, but I never care about the books they are reading, so I haven’t been. I like to just read and enjoy a book and not tear it apart.
Not to be confused with “Déjà Moo” the feeling you get when you’re in a meeting with a manager at work and you realise that you’ve heard all this bulls### before…… 😉
Or DeJava. That’s the feeling, as you put sugar in your coffee, that you’ve already put sugar in your coffee.

yeah, the other inspiration was that I worked in that little post office as postmaster for
the last nine years of my career. The new paint job and signage are all new to me, as
I haven’t been back there since my retirement in 2007.
The courthouse is in Greenfield, Indiana ,the largest city in the county and the county seat. It was about four blocks from where I lived there.
thanks for posting those, Alex. Can’t imagine where you found them
We have them in Alberta, too. It’s called a New World Quail in the Wikipedia article at this LINK (we just call them quail). Where there’s one, there’s usually more so if you went walking into your yard, you might be rewarded with a bunch of them taking off at the same time; it’s noisy.
our son and his family got all excited when they saw a bunch of babies following the mama. i couldn’t move fast enough to see any of them. that was their highlight of their trip. they are from san diego and they don’t have any wildlife. but it all sounds like what you and alexi have.

Sweet!
<3 🙂
gotta love motherhood!

I have seen this someplace. Wonderful. 🙂
Deja vu?
no, no. NO!

Clark Gable and friend

hence the term ‘duesy’ indicating the best, with panache …..
I haven’t heard it except in old movies
I’m used to see it spelled “Doozy!”
.
Wow! Expensive junkyard.
Tragic!

How did all those z’s get in there?
Is it like in “The Fly”… when you transported the quote, a bee flew in, and got pasted in with it?

You could still edit your posting above…
i’d hate to be the car at the bottom….
or in it
Parking in this neighborhood is really tough.
Oh, Cleo, you made me laugh out loud with that one. We have a book club here, but I never care about the books they are reading, so I haven’t been. I like to just read and enjoy a book and not tear it apart.
Or especially hear it torn apart by people who don’t get it, and/or can’t follow a sentence.
My first and only book club meeting taught me never to go to a second one.
maybe we should try Clara’s club right here. bur, never get to the part about the book.
HaHa! I like that.
Or Val Stone’s book club…

Thanks, Steve… I dunno why I didn’t think to link that, since I had just commented there.
Oh, yeah!!
I rather like the comics clubs that am a part of.

Or “deja boo“… you can’t scare me again with that same stupid mask.
“Deja blue” … it doesn’t matter if this blouse gets another stain… I already washed it with my blue sweater.
Or “deja poo“… the dog is begging to go out, but you know it’s just to chase a squirrel, cos she already did her business.
“Deja two” … no thanks, I already have a prom date?
….
OK, OK… I’ll stop.
But it’s kinda fun.
I mean for me, not for you guys having to hear it.
Moonwalkies.
“Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin Walking Dog on The Moon, 2021” by Tony Rubino
Is this walk #2?
And it looks like a thick air hose… but where’s her helmet?
hahahahahaha…..
I think I might have seen this before. 🤪
I’ve found the inspirations for two subjects of your pastels ! ! !
You even caught the statue of James Whitcomb Riley in proportion.
They have modified the windows a bit and painted it a bilious green since your pastel works.
yeah, the other inspiration was that I worked in that little post office as postmaster for
the last nine years of my career. The new paint job and signage are all new to me, as
I haven’t been back there since my retirement in 2007.

thanks for posting those, Alex. Can’t imagine where you found them
the same courthouse in a Saturday morning fog
Say, that looks a bit the Jasper County in Carthage, MO.
Although by different architects both are in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
The Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style was named for Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886).
Got ’em from one of those fly-by-night, door-to-door courthouse salesmen.
Hey, Cleo… still waters run deep, you know.
OK, so she doesn’t have a bazooka… that doesn’t mean she can’t change your life.
great headlines!
The story of the USS Indianapolis disaster finally breaks…
does anyone know what kind of bird/chicken this is? it must’ve hit a window and landed. she could’ve flown away.
We have them in Alberta, too. It’s called a New World Quail in the Wikipedia article at this LINK (we just call them quail). Where there’s one, there’s usually more so if you went walking into your yard, you might be rewarded with a bunch of them taking off at the same time; it’s noisy.
wow! what great researcher you are! thanks a heap!!!
We get them here, too…
Actually a close California relative, but I recognised this one right off as a quail.
Ours have a crest of thin, curved feathers.
…
There are different quail all over… In Ohio we called them Bob Whites from their call.
They tend to try to distract people and animals away from their babies.
….
If she’s just sitting there instead of flying away, she might be hiding chicks elsewhere … but not TOO far away… in the yard.
When they’re all walking together, the chicks follow her in a line, like a toddler’s pull toy.
our son and his family got all excited when they saw a bunch of babies following the mama. i couldn’t move fast enough to see any of them. that was their highlight of their trip. they are from san diego and they don’t have any wildlife. but it all sounds like what you and alexi have.
