Beach Adventures
My mother was concerned that the undertow would drag me out to sea while she was sneaking a Kool behind the restrooms.

Tune the UHF channel for your vicinity
Teresa’s maternal grandparents living in Renton, Washington, in 1957. I would bet that this was taken late on a Saturday afternoon, before some kind of lodge meeting. Note the extra large TV antenna across the street. Pointed towards Seattle for maximum viewing pleasure. We lived in North Seattle when I was young, we could usually…
Mother-In-Law had secret identity!
Teresa’s mother, Carol. On the back of the photo she wrote, “me at 15″. I’m going to go out on a limb here and surmise that she was fixing to go to a costume party of some sort. I think she waved her magic wand and turned the dog to porcelain.
Booze Innovation
I don’t normally pick up emply little booze bottles by the side of the road, but I had to show this to Teresa.
Climb up here to get a better angle to fling poop
Our friend sent me a picture from Costa Rica, while we are experiencing a cold snap. Just good timing I guess. Got this text while standing in line at Costco. Teresa asked about the weather there, and I replied (Just as we got to checkout) “Well, the monkey’s not wearing a coat”. The checkout clerk…
How did this get in my pocket? So old!
I was fixing to throw these jeans in the laundry, and found this old tally sheet from 2017. I haven’t worked there for years. It begs the question, how long have I been wearing these pants? It was a graveyard shift job driving an order picker forklift. Some nights I miss it, but not much….
Mister Tree Head TREE ART
“Mister Tree Head” doesn’t roll off the tongue like “Mister Potato Head”. Not enough syllables?
Making the best of it
A guy on the next block thinks he’s a chicken! His wife sells eggs in the driveway. I guess she is, as they say, making the best of a bad situation. (Nevermind that this scenario would make him a rooster… And that she also offers quail eggs. You think too much.)
Speed-die Monopoly; faster but more evil
I got a tournament-approved Monopoly “Speed Die” from a guy on ebay, then we started a game using this third die. Not sure if we will vote to use it in the future. The future looks dicey. The speed die does one of four things, three of them good but the last one very bad!…
Isn’t it shocking?
I stumbled onto this 1973 made-for-TV movie and was immediately swept into the plot from the get go. BONUS it starred Will Geer, Alan Alda (pre MASH) and Louise Lasser! She even has pigtail like Mary Hartman. FREE to watch on Youtube, and I found a bunch more tv movies on the same channel. So…
