On their radio show, they had a pet duck named Herman.
I imagine this was a tie-in to that.
The attachment shows another bit of interaction with the same ducks (note that the table is the same from picture to picture).
Some sites list them as being taken in 1942.
I haven’t been anywhere near False Creek in years.
I know the photograph is oriented essentially Northeast which would make the background mountain Mount Seymour, I think, with downtown roughly following a line from the centre of the dome the left centre of the picture..
Am I right?
You got it! The orange blobs on the left are the cranes of the container port in the inner harbo(u)r. the hummock on the right horizon is Burnaby Mountain/SFU where I spent my adult life. (The bulge below it is Capitol Hill where I spent my childhood!)
To go back to an expression I heard in the early days of computers (long before the internet):
The hardware (bowl layout / computer wiring) and software (cat food / programming) are in good working order.
The problem is the wetware (cats / human user-s-).
Cool picture, but it’s either photoshopped or over processed (too much ‘sharpen’ used on the B-2. It also looks like a heavy hand with ‘saturation’ as well.
I’m less than twenty years old. You mean there was a time before cell phones?

Wow…. Isn’t anybody paying attention??!
BatBasset is back, for exciting Episode Two!
Nobody, though, is quite as excited as young Tick, aka Sparrow.
Ready to leap into the fray, with all the energy of a basset just beyond puppyhood…..
But of course, Bruce, aka BatBasset (shhh… it’s a secret) … will teach him to use mature judgement, and curb any tendency to treat crime-fighting as a sport.
….
Better than going for a walk?
Really, Sparrow?
BatBasset, try getting out his leash, to see whether he’d rather hang out by the phone.
I bet he still sprints for the door, and that tail goes into high gear.
….
Speaking of maturity… with only that wagging tail and flashing telephone, a few years ago this would have been a Friday animation…
But “Cleo and Company” by the time this first ran had already matured to where these expert touches were casually added to a mid-week strip.
Lust look at the size of that paw.
LOL… Was that typo a Freudian slip? 😁
NOSE!
.
I wonder if the ducks had a lot to say in their interview?
Alright, waiting for the story on this one!
The picture is called, in some places, “Gracie Allen interviews the ducks”… But I saw no further info in my admittedly brief search.

Seriously.
Do you have to mansplain every-single-joke?

“g” can be almost any number.
/s.
It’s easy, but just using “3 of the four symbols” it’s unclear…
I think they’re looking for 2x 3+4 -5 =9, which is confusing.
It takes parentheses, as well, to make the order of operations clear:
[2 x (3+4)] -5 =9
Left to right as they occur
multiplication and division first, then addition and subtraction
2 + 3 × 4 – 5 = 9
I saw my solution right away, so it didn’t occur to me to look for another equation…. But I like yours better.
Without parentheses, it has the advantage, because multiplication comes first.
I still think they should both have them, though, just to be clear.
No, it’s a fair puzzle.
The four symbols you are to use only three of are clearly shown; and those three in proper order solve the equation..
That’s what I got too.

Here’s the back of the card.
Mmm, I love Italian food.

Nice job!

So… what will happen?
Nothing much before Episode Three.
We have plenty of time to pop more kibblecorn.
Stay tuned!

Don’t you always tell your clients “listen to your doctors and don’t overdo it?” Take care of yourself, they need you!
Take care of yourself!
take care, Happ
♥ I hope you recover quickly. I think your body is saying you need a day off.
I hope you were carrying your Meclizine this time!
And that you feel better now, of course.
