One thing from the early 90s that I still enjoy seeing (along with "Blossom" reruns) is these Magic Eye pictures. Tell me what you see!
This is what it's like in Autumn, when the roads are warm from the day before so the snow doesn't stick, and the leaves are still unraked but the snow sticks to the trees.
This nonsense of presidential candidates promising the moon didn't just start. Way back in 1928, Herbert Hoover ran (and won) with an ad campaign that promised "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." This chicken didn't hear the part about every chicken having a pot to float in.
Another cool autumn picture with a rough-hewn fence.
This might look like some sort of prehistoric Flintstones bird (the one that played records) but it's alive in 2018. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Baby Blue Heron.
Sometimes, if you're going to decorate, you have to go ahead and take the plunger.
Speaking of Christmas trees, here is the second-best use for a stand-up bass. There is no third best.
If you never got to see Ricky Jay perform, or read about him, or read his essays on the history of magic and deceptions, you can still see him on video and read the words, but the man himself passed away last weekend. He could do anything with a deck of cards, from making "your card" appear in a wine bottle to impaling a watermelon rind (“the thick pachydermatous outer melon layer”) with an ace thrown at 90 mph. Google him,
YouTube him, whatever, but be prepared to see the best ever at what he did.
