Song: Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

It has been another very lovely autumn day again and I worked in the garden. The cats were out too as well as Marvin the mouse who decided to better hide under the autumn leaves when Linus was around. :)
This was a bit tough and then I came up with something.
THEN!!! My computer says I am low on hard drive space and the next couple of hours are devoted to making some space......darn it!
Happy Smile on Saturday
when I was a kid (the first time) an ice cream truck rolled through the neighborhood with a seedy old man driving the rig. He had one of those hats that goes so well if you were driving a British sports car, an MG or a Triumph perhaps. He didn't shave everyday and he usually had a stubby unlit cigar hanging out of his mouth, perched over to the right side of his mouth. And besides ice cream, he sold all kinds of candy, Lick-a-Maid, little pastel colored dots of sugar arranged on a sheet of waxy paper, these little wax tiny bottles that held an ultra-sweet juice (you bite into the wax and the liquid oozes into your mouth.) I wonder what else Marvin sold to older kids?

Roadside art/advertisement for Marvin's Muffler Shop near Bronwood, Ga. The eyes actually light up. I wonder if Marvin looks like some nocturnal critter after dark.
This is Marvin. He was rescued early January during sub-zero temps. He is very happy to be inside...
The craziest 'daytrip' I ever embarked upon was a 15-hour there-n'-back for a wild 661 job outta Wilmar, MN. The day's train featured 2 ex-BN SD40-2s, one Stripe-Nose paint and one in Whiteface, a Bluebonnet GP60, and a H4 GP38 4th out. Yeahh—
We wouldn't intercept the BN/BN/ATSF trio until the South Dakota border where our entire trip was nearly derailed. An additional 'work order' in Big Stone City was set to relegate the already daylight-deprived run to an additional hour + of switching. On the precipice of madness and sun dropping well on the flip side of the Meridian, the dispatcher came over the radio and advised the crew to hand it off to tomorrow 's crew...we were saved.
Down the rails, ex-BN SD40-2 #1943 leads the 661 through the rolling prairie of eastern South Dakota in a oasis of rare fall foliage. A last second decision by the dispatcher not only permitted us this beautiful angle but justified some 30-hours and 2000 miles of driving

BRUNO: "So dear mice, I received a leaf from my best friend Marvin. You can cover yourselves with it to keep warm. But don't you dare nibble on it... After all, this is a very special gift and should last for eternity."

I'm not sure of the identity of the man on the right.
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
