Yup, I enjoyed watching The Cisco Kid when it was available. Since I was born in 1949, it must have been one of the last years, or if it was played as a rerun.
Leo Carrillo, who played Pancho, was wealthy, educated, and from a powerful California family, landowners from before statehood.
His father and uncles were mayors of different cities, and Leo himself was a conservationist who has a state beach named after him.
His corny accent as Pancho and in movies was totally fake… I have to wonder whether he’d do that today, but the times were different then, especially as he was born in the 1880s, and already well into his 70s when the Cisco Kid was on TV.
Unfortunately (IMHO) he not only supported, but actively sought, internment for California’s Japanese in WWII.
I’m not much of a Country Music type of guy, but these two, in this performance, was beauty to my ears.
At their ages, they are doing fabulous! I can only hope to be doing that well IF I attain that age!
This definitely looks as though the third lion from the left leans over to the second from the left, taps her paw, says something to her, then stands up and cranes her neck out over the water. Like: “Hold on, Doris. I think I see something moving in the lake.”
1936, when it was just built. This is the back side, that faces Lake Mead, before they let it fill up.
Actually, it doesn’t need the water to freeze to become empty again… it’s in big trouble already.
It’s drought, not cold, that has taken it down to a third of its normal level, and it’s still falling.
It supplies not only Las Vegas, but a lot of cities in the southwest, including Los Angeles, with all or a significant part of their water.
A lot of scientists and agencies are working on ways to make that keep working, but it’s a scary thing for those who depend on it.
It just shows how hard it is to make it in show business.
A very competitive game.
Ten shows.
I’d say two became famous, the Monkees and Star Trek, though the Monkees only ran for a couple of seasons, and Trek wasn’t successful till reruns in syndication. Thank Desilu for saving it.
The Girl from UNCLE had a brief run… It was awful.
I don’t know whether this was a successful version of Tarzan.
But there are five shows here that I’ve never even heard of, though I was relatively grown up and watching TV at that time.
(Just added… I had to come back to this and fix all the strange mistakes that spell check had put in.
I’m having a lot of trouble with it tonight. If you see other weird wording in any of my posts, it might be something it got away with… It also leaves out words that I swear were there before I hit submit.
This is from Miami, in 1930. A new law had just been passed and posted, to try to control just this sort of indecency!
Believe it or not, none of these was considered a full bathing suit. They were called decadent and immoral, because they didn’t cover more of the wearer’s arms and legs.
These ladies are mocking and protesting the law… some even going so far as to pull the straps down and show off their bare shoulders!
The best European player, Suzanne Lenglen , shakes hands with her American rival Helen Wills during a tennis match on a court at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes in 1926.
My father admired modernity. He loved streamliners, and high rise buildings, and mocked my “ridiculous” love of steam trains and Victorian houses.
It wasn’t till years later that I learned to appreciate the beauty of these trains, as well, along with Mid century Modern buildings and furniture, though they’ll never be my favorites.
Tough day? My sister’s coming up from El Paso on Thursday, so I have that to look forward to. We’ll attend a get together of some of the O’Bron family.

Do you think they designed that railing on purpose for the shadows?
It seems like they must have known.

It ran from 1956-59, so if you saw it as a little kid, they were brand new episodes.
We watched it every week, in my family.

Where upon their land and possessions were stolen
Yes, a very dark blotch on the US government’s past.
I was sad to learn of Leo Carrillo’s ardent support, since he was so admirable on some other fronts.

The description on YouTube didn’t give a year for this tour… but Merle has been gone for about 10 years.
This is probably not much before that… in which case Willie was in his early 80’s!
AFAIK he’s still touring in his mid 90s.

Aren’t they great? I showed my Mom one of these under the microscope and she finally understood why I could be fascinated by the little buggers!

Seems to me that I remember there were one or two “trees” involved in all this.

I’ll bet it’s that guy with the camera again. How’s my makeup?
The three on the left must still be cubs, or at least very young, and curious.
The one on the right is a lot bigger, and has a more serious, intent look on her face.

I’ll take the right-hand stairs, thank you very much!
That’s fine.
I’ll stay down here.

Well, we hope not. That might mean that all the water upstream was frozen into glaciers again.

And I have tried and tried to turn it off!)
The only thing noticeable about it was that everything was unnoticeable

Hmmm. Pretty open-ended. Looks like it could be challenged. What if I couldn’t fill it?
Scofflaws!!

Brave ladies
A couple of those suits appear to be rather full.

This should be a poster with the legend: “The family that prays together stays together.”
At first glance, I thought it was a caterpillar, and I was looking for the head.
Me too… And I was trying to figure out the grey things hanging down.
I get that a lot at my doctors
I couldn’t let that straight line go by
And I walked right into it 😀

It was called The Match of the Century.
Imagine playing tennis in a skirt so confining!

Um…
45?
I really need to be awake before I try these…..
Misread the signs 🙁
Remember I did that the other day when I missed all the details of the problem.
1 hat is worth 30.
A hat and a pair of shoes is worth 80.
So a pair of shoes is 50, and one shoe is 25.
Take the value of one shoe away from the value of a beach ball, and you’d still have 20.
So unless I’m sleepier than I realize, the ball would have to be worth 45.
For this purpose we have to ignore the fact that one shoe is usually worthless without the other.
Ball minus question-mark?
Seriously.
If the – was = I would have the same solution as everyone else.

As a young girl I thought they were all ugly.
We destroy everything that we touch.
I might be inclined to disagree about “everything”. 😉
Me too.

More ‘Roger and the Red Button’.

Bob Dylan at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival.
He was 23. I saw him as an older person…. a grownup.
LOL.. now I look at this, and think he looks like a kid.
?
First video.
Yes…. the first video on top
He looks 17 to me now.
