The Saturday Picture Show, August 24, 2019

 An early 50s magazine cover shows a travel agent with her office all decked out with posters for places I would never go. I'd rather look at the back yards of all those apartments in winter.
 "OK Kids, let's have fun!" Go all around the beach and see what rocks you can find while I take a nap, and then you can arrange them! Sound like fun? Be back in two hours!"
 It's hard to get rid of old electronics. This is a guy in Northern Virginia who made a cap, as it were, out of an old monitor, and every night he was going around leaving old TVs and monitors and PC towers on porches in NoVa. We don't know why.
 If you shuddered at first and went, "Ewwwww gross!" come back in the room now, unless you can't stand to see a turtle enjoy a berry.
 This is out west somewhere, and it makes me want to saddle up and ride, or maybe take a nap. I'm all over the place today.
 This is an old mill that's been shut down since the 1830s. 1830s. The vegetation that overtook it is impressive, but don't you think SOMEone would have wanted this building for some other purpose in the last 184 years?
 I love seeing old signs painted directly on old brick walls. You don't see this sort of artistry anymore.
This is a map of the world breaking down all its nations into two categories: green, where people are obligated to remove their shoes when entering a home, and blue, where you can just parade right on into the parlor with your clodhoppers on, no problem. For the information of one "D.T. from D.C.," Greenland is in blue.
