A picture of the Ohio State Reformatory.

It was closed by federal court order at the end of 1990.
The remains of the tree went missing (presumably burned by accident as part of a sawmill cleanup) and as of February of this year there is a lawsuit to recover the undetermined value of the wood which was to be shaped into “commemorative items”.

There seems to be a glitch in the matrix.

More fake cat markings.

There’s no way there’s a grey line across his face with no fluffy white hairs overlapping… look at the spot on his side.

And cats have very short fur on their muzzles

That thick mustache is either stuck on, or just drawn on the picture. No way is it growing there

In fact some of it is right on top of his nose, and it’s centered under one nostril instead of in the middle. 😆

I went to that site too.

I thought they were just about all fake.

This one could be real, poor kitty.

But if not, imagine trying to make your innocent cat look like someone so detested.

I haven’t kept track of how many you’ve done, nighthawks, but I’m back to 100% – χ% when it comes to accuracy.

Isn’t every score 100% — x%?

Though I admit that I’m sleepy and not recognizing any significance to your typography.

I am going to take a guess and put it in a spoiler box. I’ll leave it up, at least for a time, so we’ll all know if I’m right or not.

Yup.

But did you get it from the young photo?

I only recognized the adult.

Then I looked him up because I didn’t realize he was so old…

But no, he’s 77.

Just a bit worn around the edges.

Today’s Songs:
‘Ringo,’ ‘Rock and Roll All Nite,’ ‘Rock and Roll,’ and ‘Rockin’ in the Free World,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Barley Salad.’
The ‘VOICE OF DOOM’ for (his reading of the WWII news on C.B.C.) His daughter’s biography says no one really knows when Lyon Green changed his name to Lorne Greene. Just for fun I’ve put a copy of him singing the ‘Bonanza’ theme song under the recipe (I’m sure I’ve posted it before, but hey)
Credited to Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
It’s very hard rock for such a sad song.
The lyrics of ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ seem to be a scream of frustration about the world at that time, November, 1989.

Thanks for posting this! !
With the exception of the illustration (which did not appear in either “…Wonderland” or “…Looking Glass…”) at 13:10 I have, in colour, all of the Illustrations for both “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There” in my copies of both books on my shelves.
As always with illustrations, it never crosses my mind that the illustrator of book “X” must have done something else as well (you’d think it would, but it doesn’t / oh well).
Take a close look at the cartoon that appears at 10:43; the more things change; the more they stay the same (remember, the United States was not yet a world power).

Cleo likes chips does she?
Claude and Clara had better hope she never has one of these…

…or they’ll find themselves having to drive northish to Detroit and then south to Windsor, Ontario where virtually any corner store will have them.
Side note to:

If you like cheese snacks at all, ask your sister to send you some.
I figure when she does it will, at least in a small way (think straws and camels), add to your impetus to get on the train-bus connection to Victoria (or aircraft, bus-ferry) to go and visit her.
 
The logo is a link to the American Kennel Club’s position on cheese and dogs; it’s positive.

Thanks. I do like cheesy stuff, but not usually puffy corn, whether it’s Fritos or Cheetos.

Are these that much better than the latter?

Nice idea, anyway, but my sister would never send me a bag of chips!

She’d lecture me if she thought I was even eating chips. 😁

Besides… have you mailed anything to the US lately?

The postage would make them an incredibly expensive snack.

I think Claude misplaced a vowel there. What he should have said was “.. more depraved than a … basset.”

Yeah, just think about the life of a poor basset hound…

How would you like to have to be living like Cleo, for instance.

Sitting on the couch, watching TV, eating pizza and chips….

Why, sometimes she can’t watch the channel she wants, cos Claude or Clara occasionally need to have something called “a turn.”

It’s crazy, but that’s what happens.

And sometimes she can’t get everything she wants on her pizza, or the store is out of the chips she wants… oh no!!!

Last week one night Claude brought home Cool Ranch Doritos, when she specifically asked for Sour Cream and Cheddar Lays.

Can you imagine???

It’s horrible… think of the hardship..

…..

Say… anybody got the Clifford’s phone number?

I wonder if they need another… um… dog….

BTW… do these basset ears look fake?

Celebrity….
Lucille Ball

You gotta go back farther than yesterday’s pic to find her less recognizable…

Though some of you will remember this one anyway, from when I posted it a couple of months ago, or from elsewhere.

It’s from the film “Roman Scandals of 1934”, before she was known.

The following quote…
 
The boston cream pie’s name may be a mystery, but its origins are not. The dessert was first created in 1856 at Boston’s famous Parker House Hotel (also the birthplace of Parker House rolls) by Armenian-French chef M. Sanzian.
 
     COMES FROM HERE
 

The recipe is longish, that’s why the spoiler box.
It’s been the official state dessert of Massachusetts since 1996.
