This is another very old slide. . .Taken in early 1964 by my Dad. Back then Dad would sometimes take my brother Kevin and me to a spot on Brown Road in suburban St. Louis. Brown Road ran right next to the eastern edge of the Lambert-St. Louis Airport. We, and other people, would pull off onto the shoulder of Brown Road and get a great view of the airliners on final approach to Runway 30L. The end of 30L was very close to that road, so the airliners were very low by the time they flew over on final. The guy watching this beautiful TWA Constellation is. . .you guessed it. . .Me! I was 14 years old. My brother and I would take turns standing on the sill of the open passenger side door of Dad's 1962 Chevy Impala. We wanted to get as close as we could and it was a cool view of those classic planes. This part of Brown Road is still there but has been renamed James S. McDonnell Blvd. in honor of the man who started the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, now McDonnell Douglas. In current photos I see that the farm buildings in the background are now gone, but many of the trees behind those buildings are still there. My brother and I loved "hangin' out" on Brown Road all those years ago. . .

Yesterday, I watched the Mystify: Michael Hutchence documentary film on Netflix. It is such a sad story of a how a superstar ended his life. I was totally overwhelmed.
It is the advise of how an accident can change things permanently. A traumatic brain injury in 1992 changed his life, changed his personal relationship, and definitely changed the destiny of INXS, one of my all time favorite bands.
On the morning of 22 November 1997, Michael Hutchence, the leader and singer of the rock band INXS was found dead in his hotel room in Sydney. His death was reported by the New South Wales Coroner to be the result of suicide by hanging. In the autopsy report they found permanent areas of brain damage on his frontal lobes.
This song was written by Hutchence and completed by his long time friend Bono, from U2.
"I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let it go
I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let you go
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you as you fall
(Just couldn't let it go)
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you if I heard your call
But you tore a hole in space
Like a dark star, falls from grace
You burn across the sky
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall
I just wanna slide away and come alive again"
Wasn't sure what I was going to try for today's slide, so gave it a quick wash in PhotoScape.
Was about to give up when I got to this point and just managed to put the brakes on. I liked how it had come out.

There is a bit of Sunday Sliding in this photo. Because I wanted to get the wall (lower right) in the frame, townhall became very small. So, I selected that part of the image and enlarged it. The keen-eyed amongst you (is that you Gerald?) will probably be able to tell. I have outlined the area in a note.

HSS - Happy Slider Sunday Everyone.
I don't do this often but thought I would join in on the fun this Sunday. Slider Sunday is where you push your post processing a little too much, slide those sliders over a bit.
The village of Palmyra in western Wayne County has four churches on the corners of Main Street and Church Street/ Canandaigua Street. Palmyra has a rich history dating back to the early1800s and this quartet of churches adds to its history. Like churches in many small towns, the church steeples announce their church's presence from afar.
The dashboard of the 1927 Bugatti Type 35B "kit car." It was on display, and kits were for sale, at the 1974 Lake Afton Grand Prix. This road course is 25 miles west of Wichita. This is another old slide that I tweaked a bit. Price for the "kit" was $750 in 1974. . .That $750 is equal to $4526 in 2022. . .Ah, inflation. . .
