Vintage shots from days gone by!

Music sooths cows and increases milk output? So I've heard.
Or maybe cows feel at home with lots of horns around.
Anyway, here's an early experiment. (Better not be a Sousa
march!!! LOL)

 

Duh. It came right up when I Googled it.

"Patriotic Order Sons of America"
(P.O.S. and P.O.S. of A.)

 

. . . er, AND hand that driver a roll of TP fast!!!

 

Seems to have a striking resemblance to a younger Ward Bond.
But I could be very mistaken.
One of the best threads on the www
Al

 

did i do that????

 

Also looks like old "Honest Abe" is standing there as well.

 

Hey there, HellBoy! Yeah, I thought that looked like Abe, too. But Tennessee is a long way from Washington. So the only battlefield Abe visited WHILE a battle was in progress was during the siege of Petersburg, VA, I think 1864.

Of course, he made his speech at Gettysburg in '63, but that was after the Army of Northern Virginia had vacated Pennsylvania.

Funny think about Lookout Mountain. One historian said everybody and his brother had their picture shot there! LOL I guess we can see why, eh? What a view!

 

Love the Big Ships,,
USS Iowa and USS Saratoga(my ship)

 

NovaDude, what was your duty assignment on the Iowa? One
m-f-in' battlewagon, eh? I wouldn't blame you if you're proud
to have served on her. Shells the weight of a VW bug. Shit.
Wouldn't wanna be in the way, if I were the enemy!

 

nothing more joyous than going out of your way to die of cancer.....

 

I proudly served on Saratoga, 73-77, Supply S7 Data Processing Technician, lived on her 3 1/2 yrs, I just found that Iowa pic and thot I'd share, Yeh, one B/A gun,,

 

thanks for your service...

 

Right. On. Period!

 

Thanks Mazooma, and Jimishemi, my draft# came up nbr 1 in 72 right after hs, so I figured I could get a job skill and serve at the same time, I learned how to type in hs, at the advice of girlfriends father, i took typing right after auto shop, i was always being told to wash my damn hands,, lol,, so in the Navy I learned keypunching, which led to key to disk, which led to operating a computer, which led to programming, which led to database administration, whew, its been my career for 33 years.

 

Ok, here's a vintage halloween card,

 

yeah, I love those old cards, too

 

Ditto ....dad worked on the first Saratoga

 

here's more vintage Halloween.....I have no idea what's going on here



I like the bubbles coming out out of the washing machine and I guess that one woman "has one in the oven"....HER!

 

Some Old English hot rods..
after all, I'm english

 

Thanks 1935 Ron,

 

interesting,, lol

 

Halloween contest of some kind??

 

more Vintage Halloween

 

Yikes! I owned a Dodge van like that to haul my camera gear around.
I passed on the gee-gaws, graphics and portholes...but I did have a set of Americans on it

 

Crazy-genius, Hunter Thompson had a bit of a grudge against J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, so this poster of Hoover was a favorite target for Thompson's daily shooting "practice".....

 

I was fortunate enough to meet Frank Gardner on a couple of occasions. He, and many other current and past race car drivers, called the Gold Coast home. Unfortunately, he passed away just over 12 months ago. RIP.

The Valiant Charger, behind the Corvair in your first photo was also a mean beast. Tony Edmondson and John McCormack were its drivers.

The Craven A photo shows Alan Grice. He too "retired" from motor racing and is a Gold Coast resident. He ran for and was elected to Queensland State Parliament. He then lost the seat. He does the occasional race. The last time I saw him race was behind the wheel of an Aussie Ute.

 

I just got that song 'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP' out of my head and everybody goes and posts all those danged horn pictures.

Thanks, guys!
