(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, New King James Version):
“To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.”
Searching this image, most of the results told the same story…. mostly in the same words, but I just shortened them…
In 1936, the Troelstrup clothing store in Copenhagen had excess inventory of about 1,000 men’s coats. The owner constructed a scaffolding around the whole building and hung them all, completely covering it from the roof to the sidewalk. So many customers showed up, the police had to be called in to manage the crowds. They ordered the removal of the display, but by then, every coat was sold.
But on just one site, a woman posted that it actually wasn’t due to excess inventory, but to the fact that Mr Christian Troelstrup owned the building, which was to be condemned by the Copenhagen Municipality.
As a last farewell to it, he held the event with the coats, then re-opened his store in its present location in the city centre.
An American photographer passed by and took this photo which has been in papers and magazines in Europe and America, and in 1940 was published in National Geographic.
I found nine bugs, but not nine hidden bugs cos most are in plain sight, if your eyesight is good enough.
I. E., it’s hard to call the huge black insect at lower left “hidden” but he MUST be part of the count.
I think I see one more in your solution, making ten
IF we’re agreeing on what we’re seeing…
Most of mine are the same….
But just to make sure… at upper left, the two teeny bugs I counted are each in the very left edge of their circles, not centered in them.
And in the center, there are three smaller circles, from the middle to the bottom. I see the first one… the second one down must be what you’re calling a mealworm… I didn’t see that before.
In the third, ovalish circle, at the bottom, would be my eleventh, if I could see it, but I don’t.
Unless maybe you’ve cut one in half with the bottom of the circle? That almost could be one.
I guess they didn’t yet grasp the concept of leaving empty lanes between the cars so they could drive in or out without waiting for everybody behind or in front of them to leave.
I’m guessing only a small percentage of spectators came in private automobiles. This looks like what? Three hundred or so? I wonder how many people were at the game.
Nighthawks posted a photo a few weeks ago (?) of Times Square with what looked like thousands watching a scoreboard on the Times building… It could have been for this same World Series, though probably only if the Yankees were in it.
Nah… I just looked it up:
It was the Boston Red Sox vs. the Brooklyn Robins (?) … who were, according to Wikipedia “also interchangeably called the Dodgers”.
So… why does this scorecard call them the Brooklyn Nationals?
and wow…. Braves Field drew “a then-record 43,620 people for the final game.” In 1916!
I’d think it wasn’t just tries, per se, this particular time, but months of practice.
And if those were old fashioned wooden lanes like I bowled (incredibly badly) on, the manager would be running out shrieking at him for all those long hard lofts.
x_Tech was an electronics technician, but he also spent years as a bowling alley mechanic and de facto manager, and I know he hated that.
John Garfield and Joan Crawford, among with director Jean Negulesco and cinematographer Ernest Haller and a film crew on set of Humoresque, in 1946.
More….
IMHO there is nothing humorous about Humoresque …. not that there was meant to be.
Crawford in particular chews the scenery dramatically, while Garfield broods in the Method style later adapted by Marlon Brando. The plot was complicated… I don’t remember it well, but the ending is…well… come on, it’s Joan Crawfordesque.
John Garfield BTW was another one hounded by HUAC… blacklisted, pressured to name his own wife as a communist, he had a heart attack and died, which some blame on the committee.
Well, if you were on the 20th for and needed it, you’d probably be glad to have it.
Though the truth is that neither you nor I is very likely to be on the twentieth floor until it’s a finished building with real elevators and rest rooms.

Never Forget those we lost.

Thank you for this post.
Right now my kitten is helping me a lot.
She’s competing with Buddy for being the biggest goof.

I know this one. One of my mom’s favorite movies!
I will confess that I had to look up one of the cast members above. But in any case,
William Powell in a secondary role. He was the star of THE THIN MAN and it’s all its sequels. Costarring with the great Myrna Loy.
An he did it so well!
Just look at his hand in the photo. Pinky up!
coat store
“Do you have that one in puce?”

Okay, my reputation is at stake…
Got em! With two parodelia bugs and one mealworm. But I can’t remember how to put the answer in a spoiler box…
If you mean because it’s an image… you just put the image link in the same place you would have put words to hide.
The catch is, you can’t browse to the image directly on your computer, because it won’t upload between the spoiler tags.
You have to first upload it to a site like Postimage, so that you get a direct link to it on the host site, to paste between the tags.
I’m guessing you do mean it’s an image, because just yesterday you used a spoiler tag with words.
I just copied and pasted the link to the picture – and then highlighted it and used the spoiler-tag on it.
Okay! I was trying to do it in one step and not two.
I found nine bugs, but not nine hidden bugs cos most are in plain sight, if your eyesight is good enough.
I. E., it’s hard to call the huge black insect at lower left “hidden” but he MUST be part of the count.

Unless maybe you’ve cut one in half with the bottom of the circle? That almost could be one.
Over all, not a good puzzle. I wouldn’t have persevered if my honor wasn’t at stake!
parking lot for 1916 World Series in Boston
I guess they didn’t yet grasp the concept of leaving empty lanes between the cars so they could drive in or out without waiting for everybody behind or in front of them to leave.

Not easy. Nicely done.
I wonder how many tries it took
I’d think it wasn’t just tries, per se, this particular time, but months of practice.

At one place of work, the red coffee pot had a sign that read:
“this pot contains decaffeinated coffee, sometimes.”

Funny…. I know everybody mocks it… But ever since I was really small, I’ve seen a face on the moon.
I don’t know whatever anyone else sees the same one, cos it doesn’t look like the illustrations I’ve seen, though it’s very old fashioned looking.
My mother told me it was the man in the moon, and I have a really hard time trying to look at it without seeing it.
But not usually in photos. Same moon, but for some reason, no face. Every now and then, though, one shows it.
We had a big detailed photo of the moon the other day. I stared at it but couldn’t see the man.
This one, though, very clearly shows exactly what I see…. like something from an antique children’s book, tilted strongly to the left.

I have to wonder what the boom mike operator is standing on. Ceremony? The shoulders of giants?
I’m thinking they’re in the studio, next to a short bit of wall and railing, and the backdrop is a painting or a photograph.
Otherwise, I’m not sure the two guys on the right are on “our” side of the railing either.
The Poop Deck.
I hope nobody uses it for the same purpose!
Though if it’s a tardis it might have nice facilities inside.
😀
The crew that empties it must be thrilled.
i know, I know… They must lower it, not try to reach the hose up there.
In fact, it looks like that platform is an elevator of sorts, and that’s why it’s outside like that, not inside the structure for more privacy.
Still not fun.
But it’s only fair for the workers not to have to get to ground level every time.
OK, 16th floor, it’s your turn. Use it now, or wait 2 hours until it comes to your floor again.
I didn’t think about the possibility that it goes up and down except to be serviced.
But it probably does… whether on a schedule or it can be called like an elevator.
Probably a schedule, cos it might be embarrassing to call it … though maybe it only stops a few places.
Nope.
Well, if you were on the 20th for and needed it, you’d probably be glad to have it.
Though the truth is that neither you nor I is very likely to be on the twentieth floor until it’s a finished building with real elevators and rest rooms.
