The Saturday Picture Show, April 28, 2018

My smart friend Barbara Davis shared this with me. What a great wall clock for a library!  A really clever idea.
There was a time when we knew so little about the damage done by cigarette smoking (or pretended we didn't) that tobacco companies sold their smokes to people who wanted to get or maintain a slim figure - hence the slogan "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet." You have to like the audacity of saying "no throat irritation" unless you don't consider the various illnesses brought on by smoking to be irritating.
I'm surprised there's a parking spot left so close to this evening sunset in Amalfi, Italy.
How curious. This orange bottom-dweller (and bottom feeder), the Handfish (an anglerfish of the family Brachionichthyidae), is known to live on the ocean floor, eating small crustaceans and not swimming. He propels himself around with those little tiny hands. I am not kidding. We'll see how it works out for him. He is the greatest fish in the world. He keeps the ocean bottom in tippy-top shape. And it’s a great, great place. These fish have mental stability and are, like, really smart.
They sometimes travel in packs, and always bring love and happiness to all.
Henry Ford received this fan mail for his Ford V-8 from an early purchaser, a man who, along with his girlfriend Bonnie, was in need of a speedy reliable vehicle, as he was in the business of moving large sums of money from one location to the next. It's also amazing that in 1934, the Post Office could get a letter from Tulsa to Detroit within four days.
You can make a birdfeeder out of an old 2-liter soda bottle. The bird won't pay any mind, and he or she will thank you with a pretty song.
Springtime in Williamsburg, VA, is something everyone should see at least once!
