The Saturday Picture Show, March 14, 2026

Oh, I think the men in the crowd will get this one all right: the stairs are for sitting down to put on your socks when you leave the tub!
Squirrels are known to prefer dunking their fries in catsup, but when the chips are down, they will take them without. 
Hanging around with a red-shouldered hawk!
This looks like some sort of impressionist painting, but it's a photo of the KÄ«lauea volcano erupting in Hawaii. Nature puts on a show.
If you're whompin' up a salad, make mine with Romaine, please. And tomatoes and carrot strips and celery and bleu cheese and black and green olives and a few anchovies swimming on top, if you will.
I didn't mean to alarm you with this fisheye; I only did it for the halibut.
Down here on the ground, we might not realize how big an eagle's talons are. Now you know.
The true song of spring is the irritating cacophony these trucks bring. Can't blame them; they have to let the kids know it's time to grab some money and get ready for Fake Mr Softee!
Meteorologists are always telling us there's a blizzard watch, or a blizzard warning. Not being educated in the field, we need help figuring what each situation means. I think Alena Lee from WBAL TV 11 had a great idea: gathering crabmeat, eggs, cracker crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning and parsley means the ingredients are on hand to form crabcakes, while mixin' all those fixin's means grab a plate. What a great way to tell us the difference!



 Here's a news rack from 1942 with reading material for a world and a nation at war. Notice the headline on the SF Chronicle: ROMMEL DRIVES ON DEEP INTO EGYPT.  That bit of war news about the "Desert Fox" was later turned into a collection of poetry by SF-based writer Richard Brautigan.
