That one is up in Leggett.

Or for you, I guess, down in Leggett.

Taken by photographer Brad Elterman in 1978. He used only names and dates as top captions for his photographs posted at this     LINK,     but other sources say this was the cast party for the opening of “Grease”.

Is it cgi, or is it real?

I think I remember seeing a drawing of a Frank Lloyd Wright office building interior a lot like this, so it could be real.

Don’t eat them!

White gills, red caps, and skirts on the stem are usually
characteristics of poisonous Amanitas!

Ive researched them a bit.
Not likely to kill a healthy person, but you not be enjoying the high.
Extreme Gastric Distress.
You can slice them and par-boil them and it takes the toxins out. As well as the hallucinogens. That should tell you something about the hallucinogens.
One source said that someone in Portland used to make mushroom catsup for steak out of them.

Beautiful, like from a fairy story.

But Amanitas range from a few nonpoisonous varieties through moderately and very poisonous…

And a few so deadly that I wouldn’t trust any methods of detoxifying them.

They say you have to have years of practice to tell them apart.

….

I had or have a friend (just haven’t crossed paths in a long time) who wanted me to go mushroom hunting with his wild mushroom club.

He said he’d eaten poison mushrooms and they only made him a bit ill, but promised we’d stick to picking very safe and familiar kinds.

….

Then the club president, with decades of experience, died from making a mistake.

End of any interest I ever had in the hobby.

The not-very-satisfactory answer from the site itself (I could easily make an argument the other way).

Anything can be posed, especially in a drawing.

You can judge by the obvious, like where things are….

But who says a dispairing person wouldn’t throw things around, and I also wouldn’t trust a murderer not to fake the evidence.

Today’s Songs:
1. ‘Witch Doctor,’ 2. ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again,’ 3. ‘Woodstock,’ and 4. ‘Wooly Bully,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. ‘Cheesy Stuffed Onions.’
1. The witch doctor’s voice became the base voice for the voices of Alvin, Theodore, and Simon. This is the original 1958 release.
2. Written by Pete Townshend for the never produced science fiction rock opera ‘Lifehouse’ (his project after ‘Tommy’).
3. Joni Mitchell wrote and sang it, but I’ve always preferred the ‘Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’ version.
4. Domingo Samudio (who drove a 1952 Packard hearse) based this song on the song ‘Hully Gully Now’ by Big Bo and Little Smitty; there’s a recording by ‘BIG BO and THE ARROWS’ below.
5. Make the centre cut as close to cylindrical as you can to facilitate removal of the plug. I’ve put a link to the U.S. ‘National Onion Association’ below.

Can’t just stop, as much as i’d like to.
Other responsibilities keep me moving.
I will say that it’s still there. I was shopping for my client this morning and rubbed my nose, and i thought that i smelled her. Almost lost it.
I also noticed that i’m already giving Buddy and Kiki too many treats.

Not only new, cheaper food…

But it’s the day after Thanksgiving, and there’s no leftover turkey or gravy mixed in.

What do you expect?

Once again, though, the incredibly lenient (or possibly merely hapless) Cliffords take some kind of prize…

For sitting there watching their precious pet load up a catapult, pointed directly at them, and never say a word, not even “confound it!”

I can’t figure out what the bookmarks for Proust or Brontë are, let alone what books they represent; anyone?

Thank you.
I had never heard of the “madeleine effect” before today. I did know about “Remembrance of Things Past”, but I have never had any interest in reading it. Why? Any extract I have ever read from it (in translation to English) is boring in the extreme to me. None of the extracts touched on the effect.
As for “Wuthering Heights”, again I knew it existed but had no idea what its plot was. There’s a copy available at a branch of my library nearby to me, so I’ll pick that up today and see if I can get into it.
