When I first saw Marionberry jelly in the PNW I thought it was a spoof on a certain ex-mayor

26 years ago today "Kingpin" was released. One damn funny movie!

Duel!



Sometimes, fact is stranger than fiction.
There are often jokes about the A-10 Warthog's most famous feature, it's General Electric GAU-8 Avenger 30mm Gatling cannon, and how they should mount the big BBBBBRRRRTTTTT on a warship or a truck.
The irony is, they DID. Both in fact. The Dutch company Signaal, now known as Thales Nederland, took the same GE GAU-8 Avenger Gatling cannon mounted in the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft and mounted it on warships for use as a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) for point self-defense against incoming missiles and aircraft. The system is known as the Signaal Goalkeeper

^ EV version of a gas can.

Duel was the made for TV movie that put Spielberg on the map. To this day my brother and I quote the line "Some sort of souped up diesel" that Dennis Weaver stated in a whiney voice.

Just out for a Sunday drive.


This is the oldest door in the UK but also the only one assignable to the Anglo Saxon period. It can be found in Westminster Abbey, in the passage leading to the Chapter House.
A detailed study of the door showed that the wood was felled after 1032 AD and that the door was constructed sometime in the 1050s. This was during the reign of King Edward the Confessor, who built the Norman Abbey which was consecrated in 1065.








An early ambulance operated by St John. The patient was placed in a coffin-like sidecar and the lid was closed for transport. There was however a couple of hatches.

For four decades, former Nebraska homesteader-turned-frontier photographer Solomon D. Butcher posed homesteader families and their livestock in front of their humble homes in the central part of the state. In 1886, two years after William H. Moore Sr. and his family moved from Elkhart County, Indiana, to homestead near Sargent, Custer County, Butcher photographed the former Hoosiers on their homestead.

Will Miltimore was a Great American Cattle Drive cowboy from Oklahoma, as well as a member of the Texas Longhorn Association. This photo was taken in 1995 as part of the cattle drive; Will was listening to Annie Golightly as she sang cowboys songs in her trailer one rainy night in Wyoming.
Will was a rancher and had also worked in construction. He was born Aug. 22, 1937, in Glencoe, Oklahoma and passed away in April 2005 in Cleburne, Texas.
Photo by Lara Hartley with the Miles City Star.
Contributing Institution: Range Riders Museum, Inc.


P.T. Barnum & Bailey's combined circus performers, circa 1924
It is sad that the fat man and fat woman are no longer uncommon enough to be a circus freak.


Pictured is the interior of the Gem Theater in Deadwood, South Dakota, where Ella La Rue appeared in April 1877. Notice the boxes on the upper left side where patrons enjoyed trysts in privacy behind heavy curtains.
