First thing that I noticed when I opened this (rather nice) window box is that both the Sword of Judgement and Sentinel Shield are missing the silver paint applications they are sporting on the back of the box. Not a good way to make a first impression, toy.

First Edition

A - Just Dropped In / B - Shadow In The Corner Of Your MInd

Reprise C655

1968

 

Man, I thought the back of the box had some misleading pictures of the figure, but check this guy out. This version of Prime has chrome going all the way down his arms, fully painted forearms, even more paint apps that are missing from the shield... Damn. For the $60 that Hasbro charged us for this guy, they could have kept some of that stuff in.

The book presents the best information, ideas and assumptions on the conquest of the moon as of 1958. The authors, who were experts on missiles and space flight, tell how the moon would be approached, first with instrumented probes and then with man himself as a payload. Fascinating conjectures, based on the latest scientific findings, show what life on the moon might be like, how men would build a base there, how they would explore the moon, and how they would push on from there to further explorations of outer space.

"...the mate suddenly roared a general order for somebody to bring him a capstan bar. I sprang to his side and said: "Tell me where it is -- I'll fetch it!" If a rag-picker had offered to do a diplomatic service for the Emperor of Russia, the monarch could not have been more astounded than the mate was. He even stopped swearing. He stood and stared down at me. It took him ten seconds to scrape his disjointed remains together again. Then he said impressively: "Well, if this don't beat hell!" and turned to his work with the air of a man who had been confronted with a problem too abstruse for solution." [From "Life on the Mississippi," page 72]

 

“Life on the Mississippi” is a classic travel story by Mark Twain, which contains an account of his childhood experiences, as well as his life on the river as a steamboat pilot. It is his first-hand look at navigating the Mississippi by riverboat and the changes that came about after the Civil War. The book was written at about the same time as “Huckleberry Finn” and shares several themes with that classic. Huck Finn makes a lengthy cameo on pages 42–61, a story within the chapter detailing Huck and Jim's attempt to reach Cairo which does not appear in Huckleberry Finn, published two years later.

 

In September 1883, “The Atlantic Monthly” published a review of the book, in which the following was said: "The material offered by observations on the journey is various beyond enumeration, and much of it is extremely amusing. Hoaxes and exaggerations palmed off by pilots and other natives along the way upon supposed ignorant strangers; stories of gamblers and obsolete robbers; glimpses of character and manners; descriptions of scenery and places; statistics of trade; Indian legends; extracts from the comments of foreign travelers, -- all these occur, interspersed with two or three stories of either humorous or tragic import, or of both together."

 

Hydrangea paniculata 'Diamond Rouge' WW31 Panicle R1- (Renault, Jean 2014 Gorron, FR) Compact Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., flowers emerge white, then pink, then raspberry red and finallywine red, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed R1 for 22 MONTHS (Lowes,). Planted in 2020.

 

Rendia' is an upright, well-branched selection of panicle hydrangea that features cone-shaped inflorescences of white, sterile flowers that mature to wine red. According to the marketing tag, it starts color transformation earlier than most panicles.

 

2020 note: Bought from Lowes at full price of $25: 2 gal pot, First Editions. I selected a plant with a single trunk so I can train as a small tree like plant. First Editions claims it has dark orange foliage in the fall.

Caravanning & Camping Out by J. Harris Stone

 

The author was the founder of The Caravan Club, in 1907. It's a very readable book, and depicts the very earliest days of caravanning when they were towed by horses and only a few hundred people (if that) had one. These early caravans bore most resemblance to the romanticised images of gypsy caravans of the past, although some looked like cottages on wheels! It's a fascinating read, and there are plenty of pictures. It evokes a lot of nostalgia for a time when there were almost no cars on the road and caravans like this could meander about the countryside and stop anywhere.

 

The book is old enough that there is no date in anywhere, so I searched about the net to find out about it. Google was in fact unsuccessful - it came up with a few reference to the revised 1931 edition, and an American 1914 edition, but not the one I have. To the British Library! After a few searches there, I pinned it down. It's a first edition, 1913, published by Herbert Jenkins, London (the publisher I knew, but not the date). This is the only reference I've been able to find to this edition on the net. Given that the few references to the 1931 edition I've seen are quoting $70-90 and the 1914 American editions are quoting $100 - $250, I would imagine this one is significantly more valuable... It's in pretty good condition too (although, having said that, one edge of the spine cloth has split from opening it to take the pictures :( oops! It was pretty fragile). Also, it looks more green than blue to me, but it's hard to tell - it's faded a lot.

 

The text itself is out of copyright, and can be read in full here.

So much less Python to learn.
