This week we are going back twenty-two years to AD 35 at Dublin Airport on route 748.
This Alexander DAF bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1994, and was the first in a batch (AD 35-40 and 69/70) delivered to launch the new Airlink service. It came off the airport services around 2000 when double-deckers took over the route, and it joined the regular fleet. When the bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus, it joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Waterford around 2006/07. It was withdrawn by Bus Eireann around 2011/12.
Route 748 started running between Heuston Station and Dublin Airport around 1998, although there had been unnumbered services between the two for many years. Route 747 was the designation for services between Bus Aras and Dublin Airport. However, in 2011 both routes were merged into a new route 747 that ran from Heuston Station to Dublin Airport.
Dublin Express now operate from this bus stop at Dublin Airport, and the Airlink service was officially withdrawn in 2021.

My son has been designing his own desktop computers the last few years for gaming purposes. When he mentioned his latest updates my mind flash backed to 1982 and my first computer, a Commodore 64. I am embarrassed to admit that I still own it.
This is what my desk would have looked like back in 1982 as a student at American University. At the time I was in American's journalism program and I was working for a Republican Senator from South Dakota.
If you look closely enough you will see the Commodore 64 black and white monitor, keyboard and floppy drive. Also in the picture is a .20 cent FDR stamp (the postage rate back then), my American University ID (I have blocked out my student ID number which back then was my social security number), a Marvin Gaye 45 which I almost wore out listening to, and the first USA Today newspaper ever (September 15, 1982). At the time that paper made a huge splash because of its colorful format and national coverage. The newspaper machines were even designed to look like television sets, at least that is what the A U journalism professors claimed.
I had the privilege to meet Ronald Reagan at a 1982 fundraiser and I received the autographed photo a few days later.
My current iPhone is thrown into the photo to add a little perspective. :-)
***Decided to merge images from my old Flickr account with my current account. Photos and descriptions from 2007-2009.

This little girl was playing in the street. She seemed really carefree when I saw her. I think her family owns the store nearby.

When a Rabbit is considered the "New" thing. Thats how you know this ad is Old!
Love this ad!
Lets see how long I can keep up with the throwbacks. Im liking these!!!!
Born in 1905, in Upstate New York, Marion Sheret DeGrazia was a fine artist in her own right. Having attended State Teachers College in Buffalo New York, she also studied sculpture and modeling at Columbia University. Marion was instrumental in the success of the gallery by managing the studio and allowing DeGrazia to travel and show his art, knowing that the gallery was always in good hands under her watchful eye. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Marion's ceramic and driftwood sculptures as well as mosaic furniture will be on display in our new exhibit “Modernist Ceramics of Ted and Marion DeGrazia”! An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, September 2nd, 2016, at the Gallery in the Sun, where the exhibit will remain on display through January 25th, 2017.
Lets welcome this lovely Rambler to this weeks throwback!

Found my old flickr (embarrassing haha), decided to take a few pics and edit/re-edit them before I deleted it.
Finally finished recreating my SHIPtember 2020 entry, Dusk Adder, in Studio and rendered it today. Heavily influenced by Red M's "Sturgeon" (flic.kr/p/2iKeTTC) and LEGOLIZE IT MAN's "muulla" (flic.kr/p/yhRUN8)
