These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external hard drive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
William Faulkner's Oxford, Mississippi home from 1930 until his death in 1962. The reclusive Faulkner named the property "Rowan Oak". after a Scottish legend that placing a cross of the mythical "rowan" tree would ward off evil spirits and grant the owner a refuge from the world. Most of Faulkner's novels were written at Rowan Oak.

I watched the old movie The Big Sleep last night on my new TV set. The technical quality of the film was OK so I tried to take a few pictures of the sreen, while watching this Hollywood classic, directed by Howard Hawks and starring Humphrey Borgart and Lauren Bacall.
The film is based on the novel by Raymond Chandler and another famous writer, William Faulkner was involved in writing the screen play.
These Blue Jays come to this spot every morning looking for seeds and acorns. They didn't stay long this morning so I took some bread crumbs out and scattered them around. There are usually about 10 to 12 of them foraging together. The background noise is from the TV, Ann was watching a game show.

"I never promise a woman anything nor let her know what I'm going to give her. That's the only way to manage them. Always keep them guessing. If you cant think of any other way to surprise them, give them a bust in the jaw." April Sixth, 1928, pg. 122
If it happens to me, I'll bust his jaw back. Heehee. =P
