Now THAT’S a good trick! My first basset mix could sit up as long as he wanted to. Maggie, my big 70+ girl could sit up but rolled off to the side after a few seconds. Not a single one of my hounds since has been able to sit pretty like that.

Excellent display of sitting at attention.

The irony of LIFE magazine depicting the antithesis of life underway at the moment is staggering.

Baby Ruth and Butterfinger are the only ones still around, though no longer owned by Curtis’s, which is defunct.

Those boxes of small pieces are before my time, but of course, now we have wrapped snack size and miniatures of some candy… Not those, that I’ve seen.

The Halloween suggestion must mean full size bars… Boy would they have been popular on my street, where we rarely got even a penny size Hershey bar.

And yeah, those suckers were sold, and dropped into your trick or treat bag, unwrapped…. along with loose candy corn and unwrapped root beer barrels.

Gotta love how all the brand names are carefully displayed.

I always load my cart with everything at odd angles, all facing forward, don’t you?

It says (c) 1963 by Kellogg Co, so a lot of them must have been part of Kellogg’s then, or part of whatever conglomerate Kellogg’s was attached to… No one could keep up with all the mergers, sales, and splits in the food industry before and since.

I can only say that not much of what’s there is “food”, in a basic way. I need my coffee and ketchup as much as anyone… but I’d hate to have to feed a family from this shopping trip.

I don’t see any meat, chicken or fish…no milk, cheese, potatoes, pasta, bread… There are two huge unidentifiable bunches of greenery that could be edible, or they could be from the prop department. Oh! And a pineapple!

And there are at least three 6-packs of soda and some cake mix and Quick, so, never fear…. you’ll get your daily sugar requirement.

Rewards come in different kinds. I’m sure hers was much more valuable than any pot metal medal on a ribbon that gets lost in a drawer.

Okay… Usually I don’t see something when I do it this time of night …

But I really

don’t see
any doubling up or tiny extras…

So I’ll be brave (or foolish) and say

I got…
33

That is to say…
♣=3, ♦=5 and ♥=6

5+9 =14

5+5+5 =15

18+6=24

3+30 =33

Anybody?

I tried to eat one once, but the punishment was such that I won’t do it again. But, wow, that smells tempting!

As you walk down the path of life, it’s important to take time to stop and smell the roses.

I’ve known several dogs who loved to smell flowers… One, not mine, tried to lick off lotions.

My dog always had to stop at one particular rose bush and sniff every blossom, but hated any scented products, like dog shampoo, which made her roll in dirt or anything stinky the second she could get away after a bath

The woman to the left (his right), whom I take to be his wife, is looking very apprehensive about this turn of events.

It’s water.

This is Medicine Wells, Texas, famous since the 1880s for its lithium-rich mineral springs, shown here in the 1930s.

This particular spring called its water “Crazy Water”, and attracted tourists from all over the world, who believed it cured all sorts of ailments and mental disorders.

They also bottled the water and sold it in Texas stores.

It’s still a tourist area, with a state park, and hotels… I don’t know whether people still drink the waters.

The twenty-third century? We weren’t even finished with the 20th.

Was that hideous suit supposed to last 200 plus years?

Actually, it might…. It’s made of indestructible polyester, and so embarrassingly ridiculous that it’ll only be worn once.

Stepping into the 23rd century… in 2201 it’ll be found in the back of somebody’s great great great grandpa’s closet with nary a thread disturbed.
