The Saturday Picture Show, March 12, 2022

 

You really haven't lived at all until you've walked into a room and seen a woman hooked up to one of these hot-air hair dryers that make them look like a Jiffy-Pop popcorn thing about to achieve fulfillment.  What price beauty, indeed?
Out our way, we have a few Little Free Libraries - small bookshelves where people can take or leave a book for others. But this is in Georgia, something I haven't seen here in Maryland - a honor system honey stand. I'm sad to think that some people would steal honey, though.
And, continuing our retrospective on Great American Sandwiches, this is artist Noah Verrier's take on a BLT! Looks great!

It's nice, when you finish cleaning the dishes, that the suds leave you a little smile of appreciation!

If you think you are going nuts, you aren't alone. This statue is nothing but nuts!
Here on the East Coast, we have never seen almond trees. What a Joy it is to see this grove of them in California!
This is as close as you ever want to get to a frozen road surface. I would rather drive in ten inches of snow than a tenth of an inch of ice, and far too many people forget that "four-wheel drive" does not mean "four-wheel stop."
Returning American servicemen, after World War II ended, got a ride home on the Queen Elizabeth. I'm sure they were overjoyed to be going home, but how they were fed and where they slept and bathed during the cruise must have been interesting. 
The scorecard from the Orioles' first season in Baltimore, 1954. There will be baseball this year! The labor negotiations all worked out! 
There are always baby sheep this time of year in Williamsburg. These are Leicester Longwool lambs. What a beautiful sight!
It's not a puzzle to explain the continuing popularity of  American novelist and poet Jack Kerouac. His 100th birthday is being celebrated today all around the world and in his home town of Lowell, Mass.
