Friendship in war

Not sure precisely what is going on here. The dutch girl and the soldier on the tank seem to be hitting it off…

The chief is selling stuff online again!

I was messing around in the garage and found this WWII relay in a can! Sorely tempted to take a can opener to it, but maybe somebody needs an R-67 relay to fix an old war relic? So instead I put it on Etsy; https://www.etsy.com/listing/1396083064/wwii-relay-in-a-can-never-opened I just wish shipping costs weren’t so high; I discounted…

A draft, aft.

When I was a young un, and I was being kind of a brat, at some point my mother would comment, “John’s just showing his butt today!”

Biloxi Chow: Worth the wait?

NeverJetHot2 years ago2 years ago01 mins

Here’s a postcard from a young man training at Biloxi to (I presume) his girlfriend back home. Or maybe his girl friend. Back then I think a guy could be friends with a girl without complications. I found it interesting that the post office would mail these letters for free, thus saving a copper penny,…

Squirrel Hollow or bust, that guy is a nut.

Actually the guy in the fake Uncle Sam get-up works for a competing railroad, and either way, this train is going to roll with at least seven empty seats. How is that helping the troops? At least if they went to Squirrel Hollow, they would stop cranking out babies for a few days.

Disrespecting Rosie the Riveter

I came into possession of some wartime correspondence. This fellow wrote to his girlfriend in November of 1942. Stationed in California, at one point he was telling her of a new law in California, similar to a Chicago statute, banning women from sitting at bars unaccompanied; they had to sit at tables instead. Are they…

Baby burgers for the INFANTry

Is this guy on a diet or something? Wants Sarge to stop at the tiny hamburger stand for some presumably tiny hamburgers. Seems ironic that he will be peeling potatoes tonight. The guy behind him is eyeing the hamburger stand suspiciously. He had heard a rumor about them, an early example of “fake news”. Something…

Vern didn’t have enough to share

Vern had smuggled in some cocaine to share with his pals, in the toes of his boots. But word got around, and all these other maniacs were there when he landed.

A friendly game of pool

Here we have some WWII soldiers enjoying the base recreation center. Guys are playing billiards, ping-pong, there’s a card game going on. Except Bill. You go stand over there, Bill.

Isn’t anybody curious?

I got this WWII electronic relay in a can in a box of auction stuff, I think. It was never opened, so I don’t have any idea of what it looks like; it is in something like an old oil can is made. I guess the Navy must have bought too many. I’m really surprised…

■ 7/4 Teresa says some dude blew his thumb off, but I don't know where. That dude will never hitchhike again!
■ A "Life hacks" email I get says to relieve headaches, eat a teaspoon of mustard! Can you imagine? Maybe Grey Poupon will do something for constipation? ("poupon")
■ I cleared the bathroom sink drain with Liquid Plumber. It was very effective, but now the bathroom smells like a poorly run municipal swimming pool.
■ HOW DO DOGS TELL TIME- Our dog has a huge appetite, the vet advised us to give him a mid-day treat of frozen vegetables, which we do at 2:30- Now the dog pokes me with his nose PRECISELY at 2:30 every day. It makes me wonder what other things he can perceive that I cannot.?
■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?
■ I WAS on YT and ran across an outfit called "TypingDNA" - Serious big brother stuff here! Here is what it does. "By continuously authenticating your workers’ identities by the way they type on their devices, ActiveLock mitigates threats that arise with remote work such as fraud, device sharing, and unattended devices — giving you peace of mind that only trusted users are accessing your company’s computers."
GEEZE LOUISE I am SO GLAD that I am retired, discarded from the rat race back when rats stood a chance of winning.
■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
