The Saturday Picture Show, March 3, 2018

Not the best photo quality, but I wanted to share a good idea that Amazon had. We get deliveries of cat supplies from them, and their new policy is to take a picture of the stuff after they drop it, attaching the photo to the email where we check the progress of the delivery. I like this.
Happy Spring from England, where these (plastic) flowers are in full bloom already!
These are students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, on the bus to Washington, D.C. to ask the men and women who make our laws to get off their lazy, bought-by-the-NRA patooties and make it against the law for insane teenagers to buy war weapons to kill 17 people. That doesn't seem like a lot to ask.
I don't like, or drink soda, but I like this because it is NOT a photograph of some Coke cans, but, rather, a hyperrealistic painting by an artist named Pedro Campos. Excellent!
I used to know a car mechanic who had a sign that said "$5/hr extra if you watch...$10 if you help." Forget WebMD and ask the person who actually went to medical school!
Shadow of a Doubt
We really liked this old movie on Turner Classic. Joseph Cotten always played a really creepy guy, and he had that on full display here.
That's Dr Carla Hayden on the left, former director of Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library, in her new position as chief at the Library of Congress. Here she is honoring Dolly Parton, who has now donated 100 million books, to help kids learn to read. She was born in the most stark of conditions in the hills of Tennessee, and has given back to the world 100 million times.
I like the composition of this picture. It looks like a pretty cool railroad, wherever it is.
