Vaccination? Are you making a political comment, Nighthawks?

Even worse. Doctors used to use antibiotics (that sometimes cured bacteria-caused illnesses) to try to cure virus-caused illnesses. The dog may be ahead of his time.

In those days when antibiotics were too new to have been overused, and seemed miraculous, there were very few problems with that approach.

Yes, you could treat for bacteria, and maybe miss viruses, but there was no cure for viruses anyway, and there were no antibiotic resistant bacteria yet.

It did help create those, but it took a while. When they came along, it became necessary to stop throwing around antibiotics and antibacterial medications.

At this point it was still more of a waste than a medical problem.

In some cases bacterial pneumonia can take advantage of a virus-ravaged person; the antibiotics are effective against that.

They used to do the same for my then-chronic bronchitis….
Antibiotics “just in case” it wasn’t completely viral.

Then they stopped using antibiotics, and discovered that it was completely bacterial all along, cos it would go on for weeks instead of days…

But they still refused to give me antibiotics.

It slowly disappeared…. no idea what approach was right, but somehow I haven’t had it in 15 or 20 years.

I think if I were the M.D. in this scenario, I would 1) want the dog taken off the bed at a minimum, preferably in another room, and 2) tell the lady to “put the lime in the coconut and [have him] drink it all up.”

Yes!

According to a Lucy fan site on Instagram, this was an episode called “The Tour”, from May 30, 1955. 

“(Benny) Rubin played the driver of the tour bus that takes Lucy and Ethel to the home of Richard Widmark – then leaves them there!”

This is actually a house in the village of Monsanto, in Portugal, that had not, as I’d assumed, been nearly destroyed by a giant boulder, like a farm we saw in another image months(?) ago.

No, Monsanto was built in and around, and out of, rocks and boulders, from pebbles to giant stones, that were already present!

This house has stone walls, made from local stone, and was purposely built underneath that huge boulder, which serves as part of the roof.

I’d say it requires a lot of faith to live in it, or really, anywhere in the village, and assume that there will never be an earthquake, and everything will just stay put.

But apparently it’s been working since Medieval times.

Wow. Double wow. That’s a big-assed [horde of locusts] surrounding the people in that one tent. The guy in the other tent looks calm, like he thinks he has control of the situation, but even the dog looks concerned. I bet he’s sticking to the MIC like they were velcroed.

I was about to say almost the same.

I’d be hanging more than ten.

I’d be hanging out elsewhere.

A momentary slight mystery… I was trying to find out the location, but it was elusive. I did read that this was the line for the first screening of Star Wars…

But it says June 24th on the sign. Star Wars opened on May 25th.

Finally found it… The May 25th date was for a limited release. 33 theaters, all in the US.

A month later it went into full distribution.
This was the opening at the Vogue Theatre, on Theatre Row, in Vancouver, June 24th, 1977.

Which one is you, Steve?

Washington Avenue looking West from 9th St, St. Louis, Missouri.

Actually you can see “Wash Ave.” and maybe “9th” in white ink, and what looks like the name of the photographer, but that magnifier or search symbol covers it up.

Wait… I found it on yet another site: “Washington Avenue west from Ninth Street. Photograph by Emil Boehl, ca. 1903.”

I guess the white ink says “F (meaning from) 9 W”.

Not much need for a spoiler box when it’s all right there in the photo…

But in case you can’t make some of it out…

This is Dean Martin, in a wardrobe check for the 1958 film, “The Young Lions”.

Great picture!

Kitty wants the mjölk.

Ok, she wants the cheese… but I like that this keyboard will let me type “mjölk” 🙂

And then Google will tell me that’s Swedish for “milk”.
30-ish years and a bit on (for me), the Internet still amazes me.

Hey! There’s somebody like that in my mirror too!

I know I’m a tall slender princess with long auburn rope curls… but this woman is shorter, silver-haired and a bit round.

Where do these aliens come from?
