MEN and THEIR CARS: Part 3

This vintage snapshot is from Bill and Dick's Excellent Adventure. Bill is on the left...or Dick...I'm not sure. I do know, because of the May 25th diary entry, the fellow driving is Mr. Nelson the "Chief of Factory Inspection for State of Illinois."

As to the model of car, haven't a clue.

I've featured photos and diary entries from Bill and Dick's adventure before, including here, and I'm sure they'll be featured in the future.

MEN and THEIR CARS: Part 2

"So, tell me...what will it take to get you into this little baby today?"

MEN and THEIR CARS

Men are much more fascinated with cars than women. I believe this is a fact. This isn't to say there aren't women in love with cars and how they work, it's just that generally I believe women look at the styling while men look at the engine. Each valid points of view.

I personally love the look of some cars, mainly old cars. Newer cars all tend to look the same. And if the cars are made in Japan or Korea even the car logos begin to look the same. A silver circle with some icon inside it. Very unimaginative. Take a look at the Honda logo and the Hyundai logo. Seriously. In one the "H" is roman, in the other it's italic.

Recently I saw the Tucker car that was used in the movie. A stunner. Its paint and chrome gleamed. And all I kept thinking when looking in the interior was that "the Dude" sat in it. As close as I'll ever get to Jeff Bridges.

I have no idea what car this is in the photo. I'm betting sooner or later some guy will step forward to tell me. Then again, it might be a very astute woman who will recognize it. For me, it's just a car, a shape, a beautifully shiny shape.

NEW MIRACLE CREAM helps you deny your age!

Oh sure, there are lots of ads online for creams claiming they'll fade age spots, wrinkles, turkey necks. They show examples which are always suspect. None have an example like this!

Imagine, this little lad was 64 years old in February of 1925! This kid found the fountain of youth...

AUTUMN of their lives

It's EVENING

There are at least two ways to interpret this photo:

Evening would always wear his best bow tie and shirt when he sat down to work. His wife, Dawn, loved to take photos of him working. He played the horses and was very diligent in checking the racing forms each day.

or:

There are 5 photos in this series of a man sitting on a couch. Missing are dawn, morning, midday, and night. I'm guessing he didn't move in any of them.

Is that A WOMAN RIDING A TURTLE?

Oh sure, you can easily find photos of women riding horses; that's a category I've covered in the past. But thanks to my best friend, I now have a new category...women riding "What the heck?"

My friend sent me this shot and reminded me of my shot of the woman riding the ostrich. She's right. This is a new and exciting category yet to be investigated.

So just to keep this straight I now have a woman riding an ostrich and another riding a large turtle.

Subcategory? OF COURSE! Woman riding turtle on back of truck. It just gets better and better.

ALWAYS TITLE your vacation photos

I've been away on vacation for the past several weeks. Now that I'm home I must organize the photos I took, put labels on them so I can later remember where I've been. Sometimes you take a photo and years later you look at it and think, "Where the heck was that?"

I give you Example A:
