Old ads and such.

Going to the thrift store, looking over the fifty year old "Harper's Bazaar" and collier's magazines, looking at the old ads and dead product lines, one of the things you learn from old ads is the astonishing number of companies that came and went, leaving expired trademarks, logos, company history and the like. 

 All lost now, done in by foreign competition, changing tastes, leaving only some memories in old ad-guys, like me, guys in nursing homes and a few third-generation kids squandering whatever was left over from the liquidation.

 

Oh well.

Old video files part 1

So,

Here we are in "The Grand Canyon of New York. 2010

Look how high above these goth-chickens they had flying around we were.

Guns and beer

So today we went to a block shoot. You shoot at a target, and the closest one yo the bulls eye wins a turkey, ham ir side of bacon.

Sitting next to me were two people, who, well, lets say were a little too free with the creature. 

 At 10:00am.


The guy was lamenting about his ex-wife and how he hated her, one more sip of beer, it was how much he loved her.  She said, "Well, at least she didn't do what Jim did to me. I got drunk and passed out and he lit fire to the bed while I was in it."

Then they went over to shoot guns.

Wal*Mart

So,

Last week I went to Wal*Mart. Next door to Wal*Mart is a small airport that features NEPA's largest skydiving concern. For $290 you can get one lesson, the rental of one 'chute and a trip up into the wild blue where they will toss you out over Wal*Mart. The idea is you land back at the airport.

As I drove up, I see about six small people exit a plane and tumble earthbound. (Well, they were small to me from my vantage point, they may have been normal sized people on the ground)

As I parked, the young man next to my car said to the girl next to him, "But I don't understand, how did they get the parachutes all the way up there in the first place??"


And he is old enough to vote.

Sept 12 Back on line

So,
I just put my laptops back on line after the summer of being off line.

I will pick up the pace soon, I hope.

 

So. I will begin again soon.
