Evening Open Thread- Picture This Edition [Weirddave]

Here's a link to a whole bunch of neat pictures. I realize that it's click bait along the lines of "This man opened a can of paint. What he saw will make you question the existence of God!", but most of the pictures are neat, for example, this is Florida's oldest surviving Civil War veteran, Bill Lundy, in 1955:

The end of the Volstead Act:

Teaching children without access to water to swim:

I love these last two, pictures of postwar America, brimming with hope and looking confidently to the future.

Moving into the suburbs:

58 There was a blonde who just got sick and tired of all the blonde jokes. One evening, she went home and memorized all the state capitals. Back in the office the next day, some guy started telling a dumb blonde joke. She interrupted him with a shrill announcement, "I've had it up to here with these blonde jokes. I want you to know that this blonde went home last night and did something probably none of you could do. I memorized all the state capitals." One of the guys, of course, said, "I don't believe you. What is the capital of Nevada?" "N," she answered.

I heard that. And I was more than prepared to
believe it. But that's not really the case. It's a bunch of women who
are being kept as concubines trying to escape from the evil Warlord who
imprisons them. It's a story that is millennia old.

106 Yum! I made key lime pies last summer but with whipped cream instead of meringue.

We've got a key-lime tree. It's covered right now, and they're starting to fall off.

I actually prefer key-lime pie with whipping cream. It counters the tartness - where lemon doesn't need it as much and meringue is the perfect foil there.

If there's enough limes left over from the margaritas maybe a pie. Or a little tart sized pie. Or, suck on the lime and take a shot of tequila and whipping cream and take a bite out of a cracker and call it good.

Hey Hammer. A few minutes from our mountain place there is an old abandoned cemetery with about 8 tombstones, all from ~1878-80. One of the headstones is for a former soldier with some Civil War Unit out of Michigan. My failing memory tells me it was a cavalry unit, but wouldn't that be something if it were someone who had crossed paths with your g-grandfather?

125 Born and raised in South Carolina. Blessed to be in high school during the War Between The States Centennial. Looking back on those years, I recall how the war was covered in a more or less honest way. Now it's all about SLAVERY!. Hell, I guess everything's about SLAVERY! nowadays. And now we are in the last year of the Sesqui-Centennial and the end of the war when CSS Shenandoah commanded by LT James Iredell Waddell CSN sailed up the Mersey in London, berthed next to HMS Donegal, and surrendered his command to the Brits in November 1865 IIRC. I thank GOD I was born a Southerner, and am blessed to live in Texas now. Here I will stand. No matter what the yankee government does.

They are a form of Mason. I have heard it described (by non Shriners) as similar to high-church Anglicans in that they have extra rituals.
They do a lot of good in the communities, and do keep quiet about it.

This is also the place where someone asked me, in all seriousness, if Americans can buy handguns right off the shelf. Like we're living in the H'wood version of the wild west.
This is also the place where I saw my first burka-wearing college student. Seriously? Why would you insist your daughter be covered from head to toe, like she's straight from Riyadh, then let her go to college? Does not compute.

187 Used to be years ago one started in Masonry with the first 3 degrees, which are called the Blue Lodge. Some time later the York Rite of degrees 4-14, and the Scottish Rite of degrees 4-33 came along. Until recently in Texas, one had to be either York Rite or Scottish Rite to go into the Shrine. It was the same in S.C. Nowadays one can go from the Blue Lodge straight to the Shrine. I am 32nd degree Scottish Rite these past 35 years but not a Shriner (no motorcycle or jeep) just kidding, no time actually. And yes, Gen. Albert Pike CSA was the modern father of the Scottish Rite.

We don't get the big tornadoes here in the middle of San Antonio, so I'm not worried for me, but I saw a tornado-ish signal on the weather radar south of town.

A stunningly gorgeous day out on the National Mall today. And such a lovely evening I just got back from a nature walk. I'm drinking it in because next week it's going to be Calcutta. Blecch.

Compiled a list of lootables from the National Gallery so I'll be ready when the Great Purge commences. Haseltine's "Natural Arch at Capri", a couple Turners for the foyer, and maybe a Monet to go over my sofa in the t.v. room.

A lot were.

They'd just spent the last 20-odd years fighting to be a state and didn't think jumping right back out was a good idea.

Wondering whether the Fifties-vintage F-100 depicted in the photo above was one of those which then ended up flying Misty fast-FAC missions in Vietnam in the Sixties.

A very quick way for USAF aircrew to end up dead, or in the Hanoi Hilton.
