Across the street

I was thinking that I should post another old postcard. I haven’t had much news, and I have half a hundred cards that should be shared. Something caught my eye out the window while I was preparing a sauce for spareribs.

Happy New Year

May 2010 be an excellent year for health, happiness, harvests and lots of rides.

Merry Christmas

It started out as a white December. Of course it was a white Christmas. By this time in the afternoon - it was looking blue. It was too cold for many photos, for me and the camera battery.

Sugar has always been my shadow dog. Now that Lucky is gone, she is sticking even closer. I’ve even caught Rocky the cat sleeping next to her. Will wonders never cease?

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

That pesky global warming is back.

I’m considering inviting Charles J. Hanley for coffee.

Here’s his AP article from this morning’s Billings Gazette.

This is an unused Sanborn RPPC. I have never seen this image before. I’m thinking of taking photos at the same locations the photographers of some of my favorite cards used. I’d like to see the differences over the years. I will wait until it’s warmer, though. It’s 6 above now.

Even turkeys know that they go with sage.

Let’s try to appreciate all that we have to be thankful for every day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The back of the card:

Postmarked 12 Oct 1910 from Red Lodge, Montana. Mailed to Mr. N.V. Hoffman, U.S.S. Newark, Guantanamo, Cuba
“Dear Pal - Are you afraid to send me some views from there or don’t they make Post Cards? I am tired to-day. Just got over a fair. I will write shortly,
Floyd
