Pray tell, what did that start out as? It definitely didn't end right.

Lou Costello was originally from Paterson NJ, they built a memorial for him there. This is an old picture, they are now updating the property and expanding it. For the record, Bud Abbot was also from NJ, Asbury Park (which is where Danny Devito is from as well).

"Who's on first" I still believe is one of the most creative comedy acts of all times. Grant it my father did listen to it almost as much as Rain Man...

Do you change your own oil? We do, and it is a job!
Each engine holds 37-1/2 gallons. It takes about 1-1/2 drums of oil to refill the plane with fresh oil.

USS YORKTOWN.
Hangar deck of USS Yorktown (CV 10), planes on overhead are SBD’s. Photographed by Lieutenant Commander Charles Kerlee, October 1943. (National Museum of U.S. Navy)

I wouldn't have thought to hang the airplanes. I'm curious if modern aircraft are stored this way? I suspect they're too big and heavy. Then again...

Recently a visitor to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge asked what the term “Cross Timbers” meant. This term describes a strip of land that runs from southwestern Kansas across central Oklahoma to Central Texas. Made up of a mix of prairies, savanna and woodland, it forms part of the boundary between the more heavily forested east and the almost treeless Great Plains. The thick blackjack oak and post- oak growth formed an almost impenetrable barrier for early explorers and settlers. Washington Irving, in 1835, described it as “...struggling through forests of cast iron.” The Wichita Mountains are on the Western Boundary of the Cross Timbers.

AN AMAZING BABE RUTH QUOTE "Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their 4 dreams would be shattered. think, 'It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

In chapter 26 of David Grann’s book, Killers of the Flower Moon the chapter begins:
I returned to the archives in Fort Worth and resumed searching through the endless musty boxes and files. The archivist wheeled the newest batch of boxes on a cart into the small reading room, before rolling out the previous load. I had lost the illusion that I would find some Rosetta stone that would unlock the secrets of the past. Most of the records were dry and clinical—expenses, census reports, oil leases.
In one of the boxes was a tattered, fabric-covered logbook from the Office of Indian Affairs cataloging the names of guardians during the Reign of Terror. Written out by hand, the logbook included the name of each guardian and, underneath, a list of his Osage wards. If a ward passed away while under guardianship, a single word was usually scrawled by his or her name: “Dead.”
The tattered, fabric-covered logbook referred to is the Register of Guardians which was created by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Osage Agency.
To view the entire Register of Guardians visit: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/311844611
