Seagulls are not amenable to hearing “no”.

And they’ll let you know about it.

Whatever you’re eating, they wish to participate.
I’d swear they will eat things they don’t eat, just to show you that they can

So don’t bother telling them they wouldn’t like it.

Reminds me of a union meeting where we had to deal with a member’s fear of coming to work because she had to pass by a statue like this in the main concourse.

It looks to me like there are five legs coming out of the right, but only four are making it to the ground.

Yes, Tigressy…

At night, when I’m tired, with my poor vision and an 8″ tablet instead of a computer, I sometimes miss captions that are above the picture.

My eyes tend to look below them, instead, in the normal place for captions..

So silly me, I didn’t see that it was Albuquerque.

So glad to provide you with amusement, though I personally think you could have just pointed it out, without the need to mock me, since you always complain about alleged rudeness.

The full caption below…..
 
February 1943. “Albuquerque, New Mexico. Central Avenue and Fourth Street.” Acetate negative by John Collier for the Office of War Information.
 
…comes from HERE.
 
The      KIMO THEATRE      is now an historic building in Albuquerque .
Central Avenue was part of Route 66 (November 11, 1926–June 26, 1985).
 
The corner as it appears today (right click and open in a new window so you don’t lose this page).
You can see the top of the Kimo Theatre sign just to the right of the traffic light..

Ok… I looked.

It’s a Life Magazine special edition cover (Aug. 11th 1969) showing Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 moon landing.

The photo was shot by Neil Armstrong, who is reflected on Aldrin’s helmet, on July 21st, 1969.

Equipment is obviously one reason it’s hard to compare old and new athletic records.

Shoes, but also bats, gloves, even the fit and material of uniforms, could make a difference…

Just like tennis rackets, golf balls and clubs, footballs, and all kinds of things that have changed… I believe even some rules.

But a star in his own time would probably be a star in another time, measured against his contemporaries (or her, of course) even if the yardsticks are a bit different.

The show was on the air for six years…

They were both in grade school here….

They kind of had to end it when Jerry Mathers was starting high school and Tony Dow wanted to go to college.

LOL…

Okay, I just looked it up.
Jerry Mathers was born June 2, 1948…
(You’re probably not being literal, but if you were… I thought you were a bit younger than that.}

Leave It to Beaver started filming in 1957, before he turned 9.

So in the first episodes, he was 8 and Tony Dow was 12.

when it ended, they were 14 and 18, not long after Dow graduated from high school.

Are there any Oddfellows left? I got the impression from someplace that the great depression almost wiped them out.

We have an active lodge here… In fact I think there are two.

I dion’t know how many members… but one, in addition to meetings, runs Oddfellows Hall, which rents large rooms to groups.

I remember because it was considered for a close friend’s wake in 2021, but IIRC they wanted over $200 an hour, besides being indoors, when some of us weren’t gathering indoors.

Anybody ready for the solution to today’s puzzle?

I’ll tell you what…. Do your best to find all nine differences, and I’ll let you peek at the ones I found.

But not before that.

I don’t think Cleo’s in a mood to put up with nonsense.

…..

Look at her intense stare. She’s counting steaks.

First she wonders why there’s isn’t one for Clara.

That isn’t nice!

But I think it’s starting to dawn on her… a terrible thought….

You don’t suppose…..NOOo.ooo..oooo!

They wouldn’t!!!

That’s not a good time to let her catch you cheating. She just might have an axe to grind… Literally!

So when you’re really ready…..

@  —comment image    happyhappyhappy

From yesterday.
The attachment I’ve put below is the coding for a spoiler box.
I haven’t yet figured how to put coding as coding into a comment box so if you decide you want to try it you’ll have to type it into a Wordpad or Notepad (or the Mac equivalent) document and save it to use as a template (I have mine in my “Cleo and Company” working page).
You can either copy your template directly into a comment box and fill it in there, or copy it in the template document, fill it in, and then post everything directly to the comment box.
The bottom is an exact copy of the template in my working page the < p > & # 160 ; < / p > bits are HTML coding for line breaks you don’t need them to make the spoiler box coding work (I use them because I think the spacing makes my comments look neater).
