Statehood Celebration Guthrie 1907


When we were leaving Sacramento, CA to get to Las Vegas we took back roads and went out through the desert. We were on a road like that one, and the speed limit was almost too fast for my 911. I would almost get airborne over the humps, and the suspension was pretty much bottoming out on the bottom. It was a wild ride.

Two women showing uncovered legs in public place for the first time, Toronto, 1937. Scandalous!

Yuck, what an ugly wheel.


So they have to wash 51% of their hands to be most but not all?

The first one looks perfectly safe and structurally sound!

The second one, probably didn't make any noise at all.

Gotta agree on the fugly wheel.

I see this guy tooling around town from time to time. Super cool!

I was just in the local HW store and saw these. I think they're pretty close to 18" square (not quite square, maybe 16x16x20?) and solid. What the hell would these be used for? Make a few REALLY big bowls on a big lathe? LOL!

This was posted on FB the other day, can't remember if it was a photography group or a car group. I think it was a photography group. Anyway, I thought of Glenn and you fellas, and just knew you'd appreciate the pics.



There was a little backstory. The photos were a joke, but I don't remember what it was.
