The fishing scene was filmed in Depoe Bay.
The town advertises itself as being the worlds smallest harbor. I think they need to add the word working to it. It has three commercial fleets and a Coast Guard station with two motor lifeboats.
Fun Fact! ‘Stow’ means ‘Meeting Place’. I live near the town and villages of Stowmarket, Stowupland (Near Stowmarket but up the hill), and Stowlangtoft’. ‘Toft’ means ‘House’, and ‘Wold’ means ‘Moor’, or uncultivated area’
So ‘Stow-on-the-Wold’ was just a meeting place on the moor.
I didn’t get to see Jenny. Got most of the way there and had a vertigo attack. I spent most of the rest of the day trying to self rescue.
I have learned to lean the seat way back and drive like an F-16 pilot. Semi reclined. It works, kinda, if i have something behind my neck. i still end up pulling over later to recover some.
I should have waited for a small economy van. Something big enough for a bed. That way i can just go back and nap until it passes, then go home.
Otherwise, as far as i can figure, i can’t drive further than an hour and a half.
Yow! Sub-optimal. I keep at least two and more often three blankets in the car. Two are soft, relatively thin cotton, and one is a heavier wool. Recline the front seat and cover up with a blanket or three. Highway rest areas are your friends. So are large parking lots. Glad you’re home in one piece. Perhaps you can car share a ride to go pick her up.
I gave the van to Jenny and bought an economy car when i decided to retire.
When i bought the car my client was still alive. I bought it because it was an economy car. But i wanted a van that i could camp with. With a bed in the back.

Darn! I used the “stairing contest” joke last week!
He finds that sleeping there is almost assured of getting your attention, especially if you’re coming down with your arms full!
“No one is going up or down these stairs without my participation.”

Let’s go!
I don’t see the prices but it’s 1888 … For a couple more weeks, anyway.
How much could it be?

TMI!
Looks amazingly like a root vegetable,
Kinda like a turnip?
Until I read the caption I thought it was a beet.
A heaertichoke?

I’ve got a feeling they’re not saying anything nice about him…
He looks like a cross between FDR and Jay Leno.
With a little Karloff added.
I was thinking Brian Mulroney…

I bet it’s not Twilight Zone this time!
That really would be spooky.
Cuckoo!
You probably know….
Louise Fletcher and Jack Nicholson
“One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” (1975)
Nope, clueless again.

Either Seattle or Vancouver — I recognize the raindrops…
I get it.
Northwest Coast raindrops are famous.
But did you know, they wash them, dry them out, ship them all over the world, and reconstitute them for use in places that need them?
I swear we’re getting some here tonight.
I can’t quite make out what I think is the sign above the subway station entrance. Maybe B A R T or something close to that?
Looks like W A A C to me.
Schaefer was the archetypal used dishwater that passed for beer in NYC in the old days.
Times Square (1943)
And the Globe.

Talk about your Big Bang Theory…
Sounds reasonable on its face.
LOL… I kept reading it as “French guns” and wondered why that would be.

“One… and… two… and…”
.
I can only find two right now.
I agree.
Me too.
I’m wondering whether we have the whole image.
I think somebody cheeted.
Only 2
Aha… Someone IS cheetin’.
That answer is in sharper resolution than the puzzle we got.
I can see the third one there… not that I’m saying I necessarily would have found it.
But not only is it just a head, with no room for a body…..
I can’t make it out at all in the puzzle, even knowing where it is.

“His Master’s Soup…”
They both look cold and hungry.
“Hard Times”
This SITE seems credible to me.
It says the picture was taken on October 23, 1987 by photographer Matt Bigwood.
I thought the guy looked awfully modern for it to be an old picture….
But I was wrong in thinking it might be posed to look vintage.
Instead that link says it’s “A traveller and his companion relax on the way home from Stow on the Wold Horse Fair”.
Presumably representing fun and adventure, rather than poverty.
Gypsies?
Not unless he’s an Irish traveller….
Maybe they go to horse shows?
Aha!
Of course they do!
That’s it !
I started out joking, but that’s actually what he is!
If you’re British (or Canadian?) that’s what the caption means, but not to most Americans.
We don’t have Irish travelers (that we know of)(or if we do we don’t call them that) in the US, so I didn’t think of it.

No.
Inside an IKEA warehouse?
Contrast with the photo above.

Semi reclined. Hmmm… Maybe i need another Corvette.
I doubt i’ll find one of those with a bed in the back.
I was a lot younger when I “slept it off” in the driver’s seat of my MGB!

I was trying to visit. An ambulance will take er home.
I think I’m missing some of this story…
Like that you were leaving, and that maybe you bought a car? (Otherwise I don’t understand waiting for a van.)
And what you did with the managerie for the duration.
But that doesn’t sound like a safe way to drive!
You do carry Meclizine?

Morning update. I have the headache i normally get after one of these vertigo things.
I doubt that i’m going anyplace today.

You cannot go wrong with Sgt. Pepper.
you’re only encouraging me
Good! Encourage away!
Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) – Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) – Tin Man (Jack Haley) – Wizard of Oz (1939).
Aw! Ya spoiled it!
That’s what I think every time!
I wasn’t intending to make these a quiz, just posting pictures that I thought might be liked, with (Hopefully) the correct info on them.
I know…
Just joking around cos we do love quizzes here.
Fawn.
Buddy.
