I haven't decided if I prefer the rolling chair or the scissors best, although I loved the coup de grace with the stapler.

I'd like to know how he got exposures that are at 1/100,000,000ths of a second.

Listening to Stan Rogers on Pandora, I did a little search on privateers and found this.

Dan Conlin's do-it-yourself Letter of Marque

Of course, being a Canadian site, this letter authorizes the seizure of United States vessels, so this might put you at odds with Homeland Security.

Quote:

to apprehend, seize, and take the Ships, Vessels and Goods Belonging to the United States of America, or to any persons being Subjects of France, according to His Majesty's Commission and Instruction aforesaid

You would have to edit this actual copy of a US marque from 1812 to be more legal in the US.

Quote:

authorizing Nicholas Millin captain, and William Stetson lieutenant of the said Brig and the other officers and crew thereof, to subdue, seize, and take any armed or unarmed British vessel, public or private, which shall be found within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, or elsewhere on the high seas, or within the waters of the British dominions,

Ah, a little Barretts Privateers! His brother plays the Night Eagle in Oxford once in a while. Gotta see that. Stan is on my list of favorites who I got into after their deaths.

Somebody bought over 5000 slides from a Mountain Brook (Birmingham), Alabama estate for $150 and posted a number of them on Flickr

Quote:

This guy had a high paying job and traveled on business. He went to Europe 6 times, Cuba, Hawaii, Japan, and many US trips. Slides include sporting events, inaugeration parades, people, travel, World's Fairs and so much more.

He's posted 177 of them, from the '50s and '60s, including many national parks, '64 Words Fair, '65 Seattle, '61 Idlewild Airport and much more, including a graduation at Oberlin College in '59. The cars and street clothes are cool and the quality of the pictures is befitting someone that can afford an expensive camera.

great link. Very good quality and all interesting.

Thanks, Bruce.

What a nice vacation. I enjoyed all 183 pictures. What a steal for $150. I've been to many of the places in the current set. Of course I could name the street intersection for most of the Seattle pics. That is the most appealing tour of New York I've ever seen. I kept expecting to see Rock Hudson or Doris Day stroll across the frame.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2006, 06:38 PM

I've been most of those places, also. Interesting to the changes.
I vividly remember the World's Fair in '64, so those pics jarred my memory.
I had to laugh at the Idlewild '62/JFK'65 pictures, nothing like that today. There was actually open, vacant, unused, parking spots.

Surprisingly entertaining online billiards.

You can turn off the music, and the product placement doesn't interfere with the gameplay.
