Here's a suggestion for the Art Thread. Show us only about 25-30% of the picture. Leave gaps as if it is a jigsaw puzzle missing most of the pieces. We'll go ahead and make up the rest out of whole cloth, like we do with most news stories. Maybe one out of a hundred will come up with the correct full picture. But the other 99 wrong results will be entertaining.

**hugs** Good morning, nurse!
In the pop-history book Unsolved Mysteries of American History, the author notes several theories of why the Anasazi vanished - attacked and killed by the Navajo / Apache tribes; a drought sent them in search of new lands; a massive epidemic; a disruption of trade; religious upheaval, and so on.
"Almost all scholars agree on one point: the Anasazi did not simply vanish into the sands. Whatever the reason for abandoning their cities, the Anasazi went somewhere. Some probably settled along the Rio Grande, some at the foot of Black Mesa."

When I was a wee tad, we often went to New Mexico for vacations.
One year was pretty wild when I look back on it. One of the adventures was -
We drove into a canyon to see the ancient cliff dwellings. We (me and my sibs) asked if we could go look inside, and the folks running the park(?)/site(?) said "sure". So, for the next 30 minutes so, we scrambled up, down, and sideways through as many levels as we could. It was another time, another place, and a now gone high-trust society.

"Almost all scholars agree on one point: the Anasazi did not simply vanish into the sands. Whatever the reason for abandoning their cities, the Anasazi went somewhere. Some probably settled along the Rio Grande, some at the foot of Black Mesa."
Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at May 26, 2022 09:55 AM (2JVJo)
Years ago, I read a news story on the latest finding about the Anasazi, that said that there was evidence of wide-spread cannibalism from around the time that they "Disappeared".
I have no idea if that true or not. Or if it was true and round filed for reasons. But, I've never seen anything else about cannibalism (attack?) as a reason for the Anasazi's disappearance.

I visited it for an afternoon in Oct. of '96. Since I was staying in ABQ, I drove up the day before and took a hotel room in Aztec, NM; then the next morning I checked out, tramped around CC for a couple of hours, and drove back to ABQ. As I hiked about, the Canyon area was cool and dry and windy. And like you I had an eerie feeling that Something had its eye on me. No feeling that it was hostile, but more like, "Well, what is this that is here?"
Come to think of it, the spooky short story "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" by M.R. James tends to evoke a similar reaction.

Odd. When I was in high school a church group was returning to CO from Canyon de Chelley and one of our vehicles broke down (after dark) somewhere in Navajo country. I volunteered to stay with the vehicle while the rest of the group went on to the next town for help. While sitting there in the dark, amid the silence I heard an eery moaning/wailing sound coming from the nearby hills. I convinced myself it was coming from a power line, but have never been so glad as when my friends returned.

There's a big park in the middle of St. Louis. People used to drive their wagons there in the summer evenings, families bedding down in the back of the wagon. Had a lot of really big trees that shaded through the day and was cooler as a result at night as well.

I guess it depends on what drums are for. Starr was a very good beat-keeper and filler. His drums enhanced and backed up the main rhythm but very rarely dominated it. Starr was very good at it too. McCartney experimented more, but he didn't play a lot while on the Beatles. I can only think of one song he played on off the top of my head: The Ballad of John and Yoko. He played more drums after they broke up.

There was a large wild turkey just moseying around my backyard. My yard ends at the edge of the field. Sent message to my brothers about this event and Thing 2 says "shoot it and call brother, he knows how to clean them.".
I tell him, " I ain't know nothing about shooting no turkey!!"
Thing 2 says, "aim for the head".
A turkey head is about the size of my fist!!!
Now I have some VERY basic pistol skills but that is NOT in my ability range.
Now turkey girl bird is way out in the field with her girlfriends laughing like.. " girl, did you see me strut across that yard? And bitch in the window was like oh no you didn't and I was like oh yes I will! Hair toss, check my nails! "

Yeah, some of the lyrics he wrote or co-wrote for Wings are damned annoying. They seem to go nowhere. "Jet" is particularly odd. ("I thought the major/ was a lady/ suffragette! / Jet!") Maybe he was trying to do some Absurdist thing. His Wings songs are a long way from stuff he did with or alongside Lennon like "Yesterday."

That last book (read about 60 years ago), all I remember are:
1) in that Paris hotel kitchen, when the chicken falls on the sawdust-covered floor - rinsed under the tap, ladled with some of the juices in the roasting pan, and served;
2) catching bedbugs, in his bed, with a damp bar of soap. Then burning sulfur to chase them to another's room.

And, according to this article, this school district has its own police department.

I read George Martin's account of the Sgt. Pepper sessions a while back. He was shocked at how fast McCartney picked up music, especially with no formal training. Martin taught him how to play piano, and in two years he's doing complex compositions and key changes for the songs. Yeah, McCartney was a pretty great musician. He almost single-handedly changed how the bass is used. His best bass-playing, IMO, is on "Rain".

Pepsi has sponsored its Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2013 and noted that it had sponsored 26 musical acts representing 168 Grammys throughout the time.
Pepsi added that the move represents a “larger strategic shift to bring unprecedented music and entertainment experiences” to consumers “where they are now, and where they will be in the future,” AdWeek reported.
“As entertainment evolves, and the way people consume music changes, Pepsi is intent on showing up and showing out,” Pepsi added.
The NFL claims that a long line of potential sponsors are already asking for Pepsi’s spot.

You may be interested in a PBS "Great Performances" episode featuring McCartney. It's after "Chaos and Creativity in the Backyard" come out. At one point he goes into demonstrating how they made tracks back then and getting around the limitation of technology. It's very fascinating.

Tia had a good-girl / bad-girl fight in True Lies with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Curtis is more funny than Sigourney Weaver (the action-sci-fi female standard-bearer) but not as tough as far as I can tell. Tia would kick her ass in real life.

I knew a man, quite reliable and level headed, who lived in an older apartment (building about 100 years old) He said he never had any problems at all in the place, but whenever he left a girlfriend alone there (and it happened to several of them) he said things would fly off the shelves and be thrown at them until they left. But when he was there everything was quiet.

Two characters I've never understood vis a vis their choice of women: Stewart's detective in Vertigo, who had the ultra cute Barbara Bel Geddes clearly in love with him; and Rod Taylor's Mitch in The Birds, who had Suzanne Pleshette hot for him. Both are Hitchcock films, so the big man's penchant for icy blondes (Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren) is clearly on display. (Okay, I'd have preferred Novak for a fling.)
Oh, and Michael Douglas, twice: preferring Sharon Stone's sociopath to hot brunette Jeanne Tripplehorn in Basic Instinct, and then preferring Glenn Close to his wife Anne Archer in Fatal Attraction. Incomprehensible.

I was about 10 when, listening to my Christmas gift transistor radio, I first heard the Beatles. At first I thought the name was spelled like the insect. They did sound great. But there was a lot of good Top 40 pop tunes back then -- Dean Martin and Sinatra still had a couple of Top 40 hits in the early and mid-'60s.
I think part of the reason of the near-veneration of the Beatles is that they *looked* different, but not so weird as to turn off the teenage high school girls. The Fab Four in 1964 were pretty clean-cut compared to musicians 10 years later.
