The Saturday Picture Show, September 14, 2019

From Nat King Cole to the Rolling Stones, dozens of people have sung the song about this transamerican highway. The song was written by Bobby Troup, who played Dr Joe Early on the "Emergency" TV show.  Have you ever gotten YOUR kicks on Route 66?
What a powerful lesson for kids of all ages! The person in your mirror is in charge.
It looks like a toy from this far above, but these are the total contents of a Dutch police car.  Some assembly required.
The good people over at Quaker Oats are giving their mascot an image update. Now his silk neckerchief is tousled in the breeze as if he were Yanni or something.
If you've ever spent some time banging away on the keys of a real typewriter, you'd appreciate this old/new keyboard
The same couple on the same motorbike, in 1967 and in 2018.
Labor Day means two things to me - a salute to the working class which made America great and keeps it that way, and also, it's time to break out the fall decorations!
The scenes we can see soon when we take that walk down by the pond!

I love the Saturday Picture Show every Saturday! And Bobby Troup co-starred with his wife, Julie London, on Emergency. And she was the former wife of the show Executive Producer/sometimes Director, Jack Webb of Dragnet fame. And then there was also Robert Fuller of Wagon Train fame who was not married to any of them at anytime. There is more but too much information is just too much information sometimes. Like sharing one’s life situations - never well-received information!
Have a great weekend!
