The Saturday Picture Show, February 26, 2022

 

I love walkways between buildings; they save countless pedestrians from getting run over and soaked. Oldtimers in Baltimore County will remember the plans to build a new County Office Building at Chesapeake Av & Bosley Av with a plan for a skywalk from there to the Courts Building. It was all the talk in 1991 and that's as far as it got.
These "horror" movies always seemed to have a woman clad in just a sheet and some hapless male being strangled by a tentacle. They always drew the woman to look like Janet Leigh. And your pistols are worthless against the faceless demon!
I'm not going to spoil the movie for you if you haven't seen it, but the faces on the warden and the head guard and Red were priceless!
Snow on the roof! Maybe we'll have some too soon. 
I was always a big fan of the pointing finger used in old advertisements. Also I am a fan of the smell of Bay Rum. No fan of irritated surfaces am I, though.

There are people whose lives are made complete by having a car with an elegant interior and "impressive looks." Others are thrilled to have Positive Valve Rotators for peak rocket V-8 action that lasts and lasts. I have always been satisfied with a vehicle that starts and stops where I wish it to while playing the music I want to hear and hauling around what I want to have hauled. The heck with elegance and valve rotators.
They call it beach glass because it washes up on the sand of salty waters, former cold cream and soda and liquor jars and bottles broken, weathered and smoothed by the sea. 
It takes so little to make a little squirrel happy!
Here's an interesting effect: icicles formed during sustained high winds, resulting in angled formations. Never saw this anywhere before! This is a picture from Armenia.
The Colonial Capital building in Williamsburg, Virginia. As pretty as it looks during the day as throngs mill around, it's even prettier at night! But take a mini flashlight along...those cobblestone streets make for a trippy walk.
