Good thought but no… t would have to be up in the air…. or that hill is about to rise at at a more than 45° angle so the car is approaching from above.
The shadow is from directly behind his head, and shows both ears.
Look at the lights on the car facing us… their beams barely hit the bottom of his wings.
I don’t think the insurance company matters cos you can’t make a claim for shadow damage.
We got the large cans from Charle’s Chips. I don’t know how much product they contained, but at least a pound. When the chips are in a tin you don’t need as much air/N2 filler as bags do.
The article is from the The Terre Haute Tribune of Sunday, June 17, 1962.
The company went out of business in the mid 1980’s (I can’t find the exact dating / incidentally, when I tried to access the Indiana state government site I was blocked for security reasons).
$2,000,000 for 420 people…. not even counting that the cash pool was smaller after any top executives got paid, that’s an average of less than 5 grand.
On the low end it probably includes part timers and others who didn’t get much, so yeah, $5,000 might be a full time, factory workers salary in 1962.
I remember that a young woman I met who worked at Woolworth’s in the early 60s got about $60 a week, $3,000 a year… so that makes sense.
I happen to love Thai peanut sauce, and make an easier and better sounding salad dressing based on it, that has peanut butter and sweet chili sauce in it.
I might think this is ok, but not enough veg for almost a pound and a half of noodles and 100 grams is probably way too much PB.
But whether or not I like it is beside the point…. why in the world would you post any recipe that you think is disgusting?
Today’s Songs:
‘Life In The Fast Lane,’ ‘Life is a Rock,’ ‘Light My Fire,’ and ‘Listen to What the Man Said,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Asparagus Polonaise.’
I like it, but ‘Hotel California’ is always going to beat it out.
There is a really good collage of photographs, vintage advertisements, album covers etc. in this posting of ‘Life is a Rock’.
I’m sure there are those who disagree with me, but José Feliciano did not know what he was doing when he covered it as far as I’m concerned.
Bad joke: ‘What do you call a dog with wings?’ (answer at the bottom of the video)
Incidentally, I’ve already added 38 songs to the letters of the alphabet that have passed, and slotted quite a few more into their proper places in the letters that haven’t been reached yet (in short, these postings are probably going to last into December).
Harking back to nighthawks’ picture post of October, 2nd HERE, when I picked the book up a my local library yesterday I found that the artist is indeed Bobby Chiu (using my imagination, I can now make out “Chiu” as the first signature on the October 2nd copy / even now I can’t make the second signature work out to any form of Torborg Davern who is credited with the cover design).
This link to the IMAGINISM STUDIOS SITE has a short summing up of his professional life, and more of his digital artwork (worth a visit, I think).
In the book itself, there are 72 stories over 131 pages, by authors whose names I recognize (5), and some who either write strictly for children or write in a genre I don’t generally read (James Patterson, Joyce Carol Oates, R.L. Stine, Margaret Atwood, and Lemony Snicket are the five / I have never read the last).
I’m about 1/3 the way through, and while it is ostensibly a children’s book (rated “J” for junior by my library), some of the stories are definitely for adults (in one, a teenager gets set up for the murder of the child he’s baby sitting by the child’s parents; who actually did it because the baby was “being bad”).
In some, the horror is right there, in others you have to think before you get it…but when you do….
If there is a story that directly relates to the cover picture, I haven’t come across it yet.

“Everybody feeling well fed? Good!”
I wouldn’t trust that guy on the right if I was a cat. He looks pretty shifty-eyed.
I think the big brown dog is keeping him in line.

Ghosts have weight?
Must have been a weighty tome.
Well, catholic ones have Mass 😉
hahhaaa … good one!
Have you been just weighting to use that one?
Boo! Both of you! 😀
LOL

Gotta love the shadow of the bat-creature.
I thought it was nighttime here, brightened by a glowing super-full moon… which is behind the car.
.
But.. um… is the sun out at the same time?
And this nocturnal man-bat flying in broad daylight?
Or is that shadow totally supernatural?
Maybe the lights from an approaching car? – Well; at least that’s something their insurance company would believe.

Lol… No SUVs back when comics were 10c.
And even a big truck’s headlights weren’t 8 or 10 feet in the air and pointed down over his head!
It’s coming down the steep hill behind us.
police helicopter with a deployed spotlight
Firefly convention!
Would not have gotten it.
Didn’t get either one again.
me to. i had to look.
See my reply to P51Strega below
I was gonna say Brenden Fraser.
He didn’t have the dimple when he was young?
Failed.
Well, I recognize the grown man in the spoiler box, but not in his younger days.
I see a resemblance, but not a total one… and where’s the cleft chin he got from his father?
Nope, still don’t get it.
Do you need the name of the adult?
If so….
(Son of Kirk Douglas)

An ill-fated airship. Crashed in the Atlantic 4 April 1933, with the loss of 73 of her 76 passengers and crew.
One pound of potato chips??? That must have been a huge can! Or else, we’ve been cheated for a heck of a long time!
Exactly what I was thinking.
A regular bag of potato chips is about 6 or 7oz, the huge “family size” maybe 9.
They used to weigh a bit more… but I don’t remember ever seeing a pound.
We got the large cans from Charle’s Chips. I don’t know how much product they contained, but at least a pound. When the chips are in a tin you don’t need as much air/N2 filler as bags do.
That’s how they get away with decreasing the weight every few years… Same bag, just pump in more air or nitrogen.
They already make a popping nose when you open them.
One of these days they’ll be so overinflated they’ll start popping like balloons if your car is hot inside..
Or burst when you take them to the cashier…
It happened.

These things are making me seasick!
It LIES!
Du-u-u-u-u-de!
I’m trying boss, but these stairs seem to be going nowhere.
Love Mark Knopfler. He doesn’t put in extra notes just to show that he can. A clean riff is all that’s needed.
“Mangtout” is misspelled: mangetout (snow peas).
I won’t be making this; frankly, it sounds disgusting.

i thought for one short minute, that cleo got the ‘ewc’!!!
not to be…
Love this animation!
That includes the drone-like motion of the title. Funny!
Also like the aerial view.
The EWC wins again. We’ll see him another day.

Cleo looks very cute, standing at the sink.
You could almost forget that she’s up to no good.
Then we find out it that her target is even less upstanding… we know violence is bad, so we’re not sure whether to give her a pass.
In the end, though, we always do … the frustrating thing is she knows it.
….
She’s sure come a long way since her early days on four feet.
Her front paws, in fact, should probably be studied by evolutionary biologists…
Or maybe canine nutritionists, to discover whether the addition of pizza to her kibble-based diet has helped promote these changes.
Yesterday i had Buddy at the Vet and a plumber under my house.
It was an expensive day.
Those plumbers are an endangered species, but if you’ve got one, they tend to return.
It’s nearly impossible to get rid of them…
Nice animation, you guys!
Animation Friday is BAAAAAACK! ☺☺☺
