Too bad it’s digital and not real so you could see it in person.

You sure know a lot of weird architects, Nighthawks!

We need more buildings like this. Most modern architecture is bland and boring.

Thanks!

Now… if only you could have somehow said it before I looked.

Too bad we can’t add comments to the tops of posts.

Good try, though.

It’s a fellow named Dean Potter.

A lot of sites identified him, but not the place or date of this shot. Not that I wanted to do too much digging, when it meant more pictures like this.

He was a climber, a base jumper, tightrope walker, and presumably adrenaline addict.

He was born in 1972, and died when one of his many stunts went wrong, in Yosemite, in 2015.

If memory serves (questionable in my case), Weissmuller and Crabbe were each Olympic swimming champions.

Oops… You posted this while I was getting mine together… just refreshed and saw it.

Anyway, sorry, no… The caption identifies them all. That’s Dennis Miller… Not the current TV Dennis Miller. He was in a couple of 60s Tarzan movies.

He doesn’t look like Ron Ely.

Back then, my brother and I used to go see the new Tarzan movies together… it was almost a joke, cos we knew they’d usually be bad.

Maybe because he only played Tarzan on TV?

There were a couple of movies but I think they were TV compilations… I could be wrong. I know I saw one… I think he may have gone to Mexico in it!

Now I’ll have to look.

Anyway… they also didn’t have the first movie Tarzan, Elmo Lincoln. Sadly, he would have been gone by then.

I saw that one too, in a film class. A 1916 silent. Comes off almost comical today.

Another photo of JFK jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, this one dated 1977.

Due to the recent revival of interest in 1990s fashion, Carolyn’s style has been splashed about the Internet lately.

Copies of this coat, or similar ones are everywhere.

Even the New York Times had an article about her iconic tortoiseshell (plastic imitation, don’t worry) headbands, and how you can still buy them at the same Greenwich Village store she did, for “only” I think $30, but they periodically sell out.

The chocolate one or the hairy one?

I think the chocolate one must have spilled. All the bowls are upside down.

Or…. maybe the bowls are upside down because someone ate all the chocolate ones.

I found him….

and here’s the solution, but I’d like to know….

How he hides behind a mushroom that’s smaller than him.

Just checking it out to make sure it’s safe for you to work on.

Carry on, but don’t dawdle. You should have this finished with only 2 extra trips to the hardware store.

You gotta check out the smells, make sure there’s no alien life forms or cats.

Aha… That’s the part humans always get wrong.

Some kind of human mythology, in which they hang onto a few backward, primitive beliefs.

Any dog can tell you, definitively…

There is no task that doesn’t require a dog. Period.

Well, in my case, it’s not just a crown. From the neck up it’s all grey. The rest of the body is starting to think that maybe it should try to catch up.
