I’ve been wondering what this machine actually dispenses.
Are the worms alive? In a cup? In dirt?
Looks like a box in the picture.
I wouldn’t want a handful of unwrapped worms.
Then again, I don’t want any worms, so I don’t get to vote.
I bet a robin could learn to put in a quarter and get worms… but she might want them unwrapped.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is a privately run, luxury train, using restored cars, mostly from the 1920s, including old Swiss dining cars, with 5 star dining included in the fare.
The service is not intended as ordinary rail service, but as a high end leisure experience.
In July 2024, The New York Times reported that the annual five-night Paris–Istanbul journey cost £35,000 for a solo traveller in the smallest cabin. Yikes. That’s over $46,000.
Walnut and East Main, Amsterdam, New York….October 1941
Wait just a goldurn minute! I typed that yesterday.
Okay, on examination, this is the same block we saw then, taken from the other end.
Invisible at this angle, that large Kresge’s would be at the end of this block on the left-hand side, which would be the right-hand side going the other way.
You can see the bowling alley and the Empire… Theater? Hotel? in both photos, across the street and down the block from Kresge’s.. They might be taken the same day.
On Facebook pages some commenters think it’s a pastiche… that somebody built it from parts of various cars…
Several people said it has Pontiac headlights, and various Chevy and Ford parts.
But…. one person said it was a real Chevy concept car, and I found a page about it…
Yes! It’s the 1961 Corvair Futura concept car, a GM factory model.
Apparently there were some designers asked in 1959 to design cars using more aluminum, to be built in partnership with Kaiser Aluminum, which never actually happened.
Not many places where an elephant will just happen to be passing by… but this is a village in India, where it’s not uncommon.
But according to the Internet, it IS fairly uncommon for a baby one to decide to walk away from its mother, and beg for watermelon… But it must not be totally unknown, cos the woman handing it out seems unperturbed, even when Mama elephant follows.

and I thought Otis hiding under my desk was funny…this is great!
What? Doesn’t everybody have a special sleeping shelf just for their dogs?
Helps prevent speed-bump fatalities.

My grandfather had a bait shop. He had a buzzer on it. If someone rang the buzzer at three in the morning, he was up.
Probably had fun talking with them about their planned fishing, as well.
Some jobs are not work!

How about flavors? Peppermint? Spearmint? Cinnamon?
Probably more like different flavors of dirt they ate …
Sandy loam, forest humus, extra clay…

2021? Wow! I want to go!
Okay…. wait…. I googled it.

I think I’ll… not go.

My little brother’s favorite, at least for a while.
It was very short, part of the Captain Kangaroo show, and he soon got too old, not for Tom Terrific, but for Captain Kangaroo.
Or maybe we girls outvoted him; I don’t remember. But there were so many shows and only one TV.
I think I’ve still got a couple of his comic books!

How does pushing a button call a taxi?
Looks like the Amsterdam canals are in flood…

Got me for a minute!

If this is a “Where’s Waldo”, I quit!
“Vertical Societies” by Richard Nadler, digital and AI artist, designer and collector.
Intended as art, it functions, for me, as horror.
I’ve never been….but is this Hong Kong?
It’s art, not a photo or even a real place.
See my post above.

I spent many hours in the library reading old copies of that, and others.
Those two look quite nefarious.
Nefarious, only if they’re on the bad side. If they’re on our side, they’re “innovative pioneers”.
Or just farious…

Um…. no…. on second thought…. I don’t think I’ll comment.
oh nutz! why not?
Not-neutered tom-cats in South Korea often are named “Nabi” (“나비” – “Butterfly”). Now you know why.
Cos of… well… cos of that.

A Jello cookbook, pretty much the Jello cookbook, from around 1911.
Jello was new, and people didn’t trust desert that came in powder form… so this free cookbook was widely dispersed, and made it popular.
I’ve just discovered that Wikipedia has the whole book in PDF form… you can actually read it!
Hope this link works for you. If it doesn’t, you can get there via the Wikipedia page for Jello.

BTW… The seven “Pure fruit flavors” are…. Strawberry, raspberry, orange, lemon, cherry, peach… and chocolate!
Too bad they discontinued that one!

Yeah, great.
Lysol will save you… from…. um… air raids and incendiary bombs?
No, of course not… but it will help you… er… keep your house clean.
That’s, like… almost the same thing, right?
As you can see, clickbait advertising started long before there were clicks.
I gotta go with

I recognized the kid too, even though I thought I must be wrong until I looked at the adult picture.
But no, I was right….
Cover up the kid hairdo, and it’s more obvious.
Yup!
taking a survey here; does anybody NOT see these faces?
I didn’t get this one from the young picture.
I’m guessing that I miss at least half of the kid ones… and we need the spoiler adult ones to ID them.
In fact some have said they can’t identify the adults, either, so some of us post the names.
Uh… I just meant did WordPress allow these to display… some computers or systems, aren’t able to display the images and animation from IBB
Oh!
Everybody must see them, cos all the replies are about recognizing them, not about blank images.
I got this one…probably only my third ever.

Arguments abound, over this one.
On Facebook pages some commenters think it’s a pastiche… that somebody built it from parts of various cars…

Yes! It’s the 1961 Corvair Futura concept car, a GM factory model.
Apparently there were some designers asked in 1959 to design cars using more aluminum, to be built in partnership with Kaiser Aluminum, which never actually happened.
But a few prototypes were made… And this is one.
One crazy thing… It has center steering!
That’s the first thing I thought of when seeing the pictures… that is some sort of hybrid Corvair/Pontiac Bonneville hybrid and all GM.
Is that a sun roof?
Looks like it.
Yes… Unusual on 1961 American cars.
this suggests what Van Gogh saw when he painted ‘Starry Night’

Like the goslings and their parents when my husband shows up…
hope you can make a video
Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador photographed by Ray Mackey Photography.
That blue house gets photographed more than any house in Newfoundland …Iceberg Alley.
Male Red-shafted Northern Flicker.
Love the flickers.
Me too, just as long as it’s not MY house they are hammerin’ on…!

These Facebook links don’t show anything on my tablet but a bare link. No image, no description, or words of any kind.
It would be nice if you’d describe the link or at least say a word or two, like a title, or where it’s going, so we know it’s from you.
It’s a “hunting” basset.
