The shop is buried deep in a bazaar… He’s owned it for 40 years, and only sells colored pencils, singly. No packages.
He estimates he has over 5,000, in 200 colors.
It would be fun to see, but according to the articles, it’s very hard to find, and there are travel advisories warning westerners against visiting Iran… especially women.
From yesterday.
Why it didn’t work I don’t know as it worked for me.
Hopefully the attachment shows up for you today.
I repeat my question: “Were they sneakey?”
Just an FYI.
im well above the tsunami zone. By quite a bit actually. There are lots of steep shoreline here. It’s supposed to hit here around midnight. I intend to be in bed. The warning has been lowered to an advisory .If I do get rousted out of bed by the authorities I’ll let you know. But I’ve seen the maps. I’m safe.
I’m between a hundred and twenty to twenty five feet above sea level.
Crescent City California has unique geography, with a deep underwater trough that funnels water towards the more shallow shore.
They received the biggest tsunami waves ever recorded in California, in 1964…. Different sources report different heights, but most say just over 8 feet. It did a lot of damage, especially to boats and docks in the shallow harbor. That was at low tide.
They’ve been through several since then, and a lot of work has been done on the harbor to mitigate the effects.
Last night they again got the highest waves, at 4½ feet… but it was on top of a 4 foot tide, so the sea rose about 8 feet.
Little damage was done because boats had been evacuated to deeper water, and the special dock built for a sacrificial breakwater worked.
The coast nearest me got higher than predicted waves… about 1.4 feet instead of 11″.😄
From the Interwebs, looks like the picture came from Instagram, or Facebook, but the owners also posted them to Imgur, which is where I found them. The corgi puppy’s name is ‘Angel Food Cake’. I’m thinking that he would be known as ‘Angel’ on a day-to-day basis. According to the account, he’s a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and lives in Alabama, USofA.
He got your goat!
Lama & llama?
Well….. future lama and wannabe llama (Eastern hemisphere version.)😄
Oh, I see now, it’s that cloned sheep; it’s Dolly, lama.
Behave!
And a three-l-lama is a really big fire…
For the love of goat!

I flew into Salt Lake City once and was astounded by the many different colors and shades in Salt Lake.
This water must be what they use to irrigate the watermelon fields.
on set, ‘Gone with the Wind’- 1939
“… and a cast of thousands.”
Dramatic… But what the heck is that hat?
She looks like a fantasy Russian princess.
Wrong color: b/w, colorized.
Here’s the still from the movie:
A visitor from the next set nearby?
Attack of the Saucer Women!
,
OK, I zoomed in. It still looks like he’s talking on his sandal. A very early version of Get Smart?
LOL… He’s listening on one side of a headphone 😄
Yeah … Think Radar O’Reilly.
😄
On set. “Gone with the Chariots…”
..
I never saw that one on the racks!
You’re not old enough.
( I wish anyone ever said that to me.)
Look at the eBay listing…. I doubt you were perusing the racks in 1949.
But no worries. This one might be sold by now, but you can probably get another one for about the same thousand bucks.
Okay. I was guessing about 1956 when I was just learning about TV and comic books…
.,
He got the hats wrong!
Didn’t use the correct ship either!!
Well, they couldn’t help it.
The correct one is rather tied up, down in Davy Jones’ locker.
Darn Hollywood magic!
The gulf between the flat cap and the homburg is huge.
Turned casual attire into pretentious, for the situation.
And two of the men are hatless! Rather unacceptable in 1906.
1912, the fashions changed considerably in 6 years
LOL…. 1906 was the San Francisco earthquake.
You know, seen one disaster….
Anyway… Yeah, a few more hatless men by 2012, probably fewer homburgs, but they were always pretty formal for a ship’s deck.
Even when I was a kid…. which, yes, was after 1912… Looking at a crowd of men meant seeing a crowd of hats.
My memory of Sunday drives in the 1950s includes sitting behind my dad’s fedora.
yes indeedy, but somehow, by the turn to the sixties came around, hats kinda went away
Yay 🙂

Coney Island, 1901
LOL!
….
“They did the Munster Mash…”
Toga! Toga! Toga!
That was my second guess…
I thought they might have meant that
My sentiments exactly!
What they ^ said!
Hard no.

Hold on. Let me take some psychedelics and get back to you.
a pencil store in Teheran
I would venture to say that if he doesn’t have it, it doesn’t exist.
Wow!
Do they really use that many pencils there?
A golden opportunity for someone to open a pencil sharpener boutique next door.
.
an astonishing coincidence
I just found more online….
The shop is buried deep in a bazaar… He’s owned it for 40 years, and only sells colored pencils, singly. No packages.

It would be fun to see, but according to the articles, it’s very hard to find, and there are travel advisories warning westerners against visiting Iran… especially women.
so what’s he give you when you ask for a flesh colored pencil?
He probably has a choice of 12 or 15.
Especially since the population of Iran has varied skin tones.
From yesterday.
Why it didn’t work I don’t know as it worked for me.

I repeat my question: “Were they sneakey?”
Yes! Yes they were!
That’s the fourth one for me.
Um… I found and described it yesterday.
I guess too late.
Was that really the “Silly Farts” playing Wipeout?
Well, judging by the logo in the upper left corner, they misspelled Smurfaris.
Just an FYI.

Bedsides a news alert on my phone, I got three different email warnings…. All said they were for “coastal areas”.
I live about 25 miles from the coast.
One from the national weather service.
One from the Department of Public Safety
A really detailed one from my county Sheriff’s office.
They all say don’t go to the coast to watch the tsunami.
That last one, though, listed times for about five spots along the coastline when it would arrive.
“Stay out of coastal waters, off the beach, harbor docks, and piers. Strong currents and dangerous waves are expected.”
But the last line cracked me up:
“FORECAST PEAK TSUNAMI WAVE HEIGHTS
Less than 1 foot”
Cue all those disappointed surfers.
Don’t laugh, that’s not a wave; it’s a (temporary) 1′ rise in sea level. There’s a big difference.
I quoted the warning exactly.
It may be a rise in sea level, but it says it’s a peak wave height.
At one foot, there’s really not that much difference, as the tidal difference twice a day is far bigger.
The news stories are all reporting wave heights, and sometimes both figures, especially if there was flooding.
Tsunamis can have waves a little higher than that…

Now that’s a tsunami ! !

He’s a cutie. Looks like he sheds a bit.
Interesting bit of history from today’s London “Daily Mail.”
