Any idea who that might be in the background?
Looks like a story to me.

I don’t see anyone in the painting, so I’m guessing you mean in the photo….

If so, and I’m not missing something, that’s his wife, Josephine.

And yes, it’s quite a story.

I’ve read a few articles about her, or them.

She was an artist, better known than he was when they met….

They knew each other for a long time before they married, and IIRC, she’s the one who got him his first museum show.

I do know she became his muse, his manager, his collaborator, and his only model.

They wrote little stories together about the people in his paintings, and she wrote most of the titles.

They both painted but he belittled her work.
She helped make him famous and became an unknown.

They were cruel to each other… He was especially so. He drew mean cartoons about her, mocking her housekeeping, her cooking and her art.

They fought, and even beat each other up physically.

But they were inseparable… they lived and traveled together, and ate canned food because their apartment and studio had no stove.

He was intensely shy. She called herself a prisoner, but said she was grateful for him.

Every woman in every Hopper painting was modeled by Jo, wearing different costumes, even if there are more than one.

A crazy story!

Another weird WordPress glitch…

I wrote a few sentences, above, and accidentally touched “post comment”.

So I edited, and finished it, but then edited again to fix a typo.

Every time I saved it, after that, it posted double… I’d edit, and remove the duplicate, but it would come back…

I think it’s ok now, on about my 3rd try.

If anybody saw it in progress… Sorry!

I’ve run into that too.
I’ve learned that a comment cannot be “double-edited” in the same edit session.
Simply accept the mis-edit, refresh the screen, and start a brand new edit session to correct any other things you want to correct within the comment.
You can, of course, change more than one thing within any given edit session.

Your second and last sentences are kind of contradictory… I think in between them, you’re changing your definition of “edit session”…

But if the first time, what you call “double editing” is closing and reopening the comment-editing box, and one “edit session” is everything in between full page refreshes…

yes, usually, but last night it didn’t seem to matter.

The duplication came back even if I’d deleted the extra paragraphs and refreshed the whole page in between attempts.

But on about the 4th try, for some reason they stayed deleted.

In the last sentence, if you mean an “edit session” is just one opening of the comment box… well, of course.

It’s unsaved, like any open text document.

Train crash compilation?
How many head on crashes have there been?
It doesn’t happen every day, even in 3rd world lines.

At least Cleo is getting some exercise, and not just sitting in front of the TV.

She’s quite the artiste.

Yes. I was going to say that they all should get up and go outside for a walk or something. Cleo is quite talented.

As I’ve said before, I don’t like clams. But as others do….
 
From:
“The Laura Secord Canadian Cook Book”
Prepared by the Canadian Home economics association
Published by McClelland and Stewart Limited Toronto/Montreal
ISBN: 0-7710-4080-6
 
” Clam Chowder ”
 
…the word chowder comes from the French chaudière meaning iron pot…
 
Fry in a large heavy saucepan
1/4 pound salt pork, diced
OR
4 slices side bacon, finely diced
Drain the crisp pork or bacon and reserve drippings.
Cook in pork drippings until transparent but not browned.
1 onion, finely diced
Add
3 to 4 potatoes, diced
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup canned tomatoes, if desired
Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender.
Drain and reserve liquid from
2 cans (10 ounces each) clams
OR
1 pint fresh clams in liquor
Measure clam liquor and add sufficient milk to make
4 cups liquid
Add to cooked potatoes and heat slowly just to the boiling point.
Stir in drained clams and crisp pork or bacon together with
1/2 cup cream (18%)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery salt
pinch of pepper
2 teaspoons butter (never margarine)
Reheat just to boiling point and season to taste.
Serve garnished with paprika or parsley.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Notes from me:
“Side bacon” is everyday bacon, as opposed to “back/Canadian bacon”
Clam liquor is the liquid surrounding the clam inside the shell.

Is it my imagination, or does the lump on the right have Trump’s hair?
 

You have a good eye.

Yesterday a.m., our San Diego son got to be a real life hero. He was driving to work and saw this woman’s car smoking, and then fill up with smoke. Until then, she had no idea there was anything wrong. He flashed his lights, turned on his hazards, cleared the lane behind her and helped her out of her car just before it was engulfed in flames. He brought her back to his truck to wait for the FD. Turns out she is a teacher, and had the kids’ report cards in her trunk. Amazing!!!

Yes, definitely a hero. Good, quick thinking. So, did the kids get lucky, or did the report cards survive?

Way ahead of its time.

Just when cars were trending bigger and heavier… Studebaker tried going the other direction… even talked about something called “gas saving”. What!??

For the record, so did the Nash Rambler…. and of course, most European cars.

But in the US, short-sightedly reckless gas consumption, a ton of chrome, and muscly horsepower were points of pride…

The bulletnose Studie and the Rambler lost the gamble (not before Earl Pickles bought one of the former), on this side of the Atlantic.

Of course Studebaker hedged its bet, making some beautiful bigger cars too.

I’ve always said my dream car is a ’55 Golden Hawk (if I win the lottery to pay for gas and upkeep)…

But if I can’t find one, or its gas usage is just too unconscionable… hey, I’ll take one of these.

(Yeah yeah… seat belts, fuel injection, electronic ignition, antilock disc brakes, air bags, power everything… I hear you. But a girl can dream, can’t she?)
