old photo

Just a picture in an antique store, but hey!

Reminds me of a favorite retro game, Qbert (Q*Bert)

meet the swinger

The inside of a Polaroid Swinger camera was the perfect size for a young teenager to hide a pack of cigarettes. You could leave it right on a shelf in the bedroom and no one would suspect.

After my brother stole my pack a second time, I watered his little pot garden with gasoline. 🌿😈

A beautiful rendition of Starbucks logo.

butch mechanic

2008. Back when I liked to do my own oil changes, tire rotations, etc.

Now I’m getting a little old for it, plus that thing could fall off the jack and kill me, so I just take it to a shop now like most people do. 🚙

When I was in high school, I had a friend who was killed when his car fell off the jack. You have to really prepare and be safe when doing things like that. Even so, things can happen.

cuban mystery

We just found this in the garage and neither one of us can remember where we got it.

the preserve at home

The cool shade of the tree canopy in the Nature Preserve. Also, last night’s moon shining through the trees. 🌛🌳

There is a dose of Internet enhancement that we throw into all of this. Who doesn’t? 😁

mi blue velveeta

Oops. Moons Over My Hammy.

Actually, Blue Velvets at M’Coul’s.

lunch ramen

Lunch ramen. It’s high falutin’. 🍜

Strange words on Spanish ingredients list.

Chili powder.
Contains: wheat, tree nuts (nervous man)

A quick web search did not solve the nervous man riddle.

mannix in brady bunch

Brian and I were just ooohing and aaahing at catching the final episode of Mannix (Hardball) and noticing that it was partially filmed in the Brady Bunch house with John Ritter coming down the stairs. All we needed was to see Alice walk in, but she didn’t. We looked for the horse statue by the lamp. It was gone.

The Mannix episode was from 1975. The Brady Bunch finished up in 1974. It’s strange they’d use such an iconic house that soon when it probably hadn’t even been vaccumed yet.
