The Saturday Picture Show, June 1, 2019

We stopped at a Burger King on our way to Williamsburg last December and had a very tasty lunch. Just a Whopper Jr and some fries and a sparkling water and we were refreshed and back on the road. Fast food can be good. This old ad reminds me of the early days of the King around here on Joppa Rd over by the now-closed Giant Food.
SO you're a photographer, eh? And you decide to lie on your back in our cathedral to take pictures of the ceiling? Well, we just wanted to make sure you were all right.
This tub is in the mail room of a large office. Some time ago, they decided to save all the staples they wisely removed before shredding sensitive papers.
It does not surprise me that Steve Martin does not wish to stop and sign his name on things for people, nor does it surprise me that he is kind enough to have these little cards handy for people who approach him on the street.
This is downtown Baltimore, where there is both great commerce going on, and great unrest as well. Not far from here are the stadia where the Orioles and Ravens play, and Harborplace, where a nice summer evening can be spoiled by a couple hundred rampaging kids. The city government is currently in the grips of a computer hack that has slowed its operations to a crawl and now we find that the hack was developed by the NSA and somehow leaked. I do wish someone would step up and take this country by the shoulders and sit it down for an old-fashioned talking-to.
It's hard to believe that the low-speed chase was 25 years ago this month. I hope you get this.
Pictures #7 and #8 go together this week.  This is Old Bay Seasoning, and even if you don't like seafood, you would like the smell and taste of this tremendous blend of spices.
And if you like steamed crabs, this is the best use for Old Bay. This is Maryland summer in one picture - crabs, newspaper for a tablecloth and a can of beer.
