My PRIDE “The wall of Shame” @ Het Roolvink Steegje (Roolvink alley), aka our garden wall with trophies of countries we visited ;-)
@ the wall you can find anything.... that you can put on a wall: Horseshoe, road sign, licence plate, landmark, birdhouse, warning sign, good luck charm, insect hotel, surfboard, etc.... Allways lookin’ for new stuff
A fun fringe benefit to my job is that I get to play with lots of toys. Here's I'm holding a random chunk of (somewhat dusty and finger-printed) aerogel that I use for demos and to show clients (we use it for insulation, mostly)
Very Rare, less than 50,000 people live there! 1962 was the first year of issue for these. By 1973 these key chain tags were issued a number with the date as a background as lost keys were often picked up finders who would search the parking area for the maching plate and steal the vehicle.
Lake Tahoe 1921
I came by these wonderful old B & W photos by way of my aunt. She was at a Scrap Booking convention/ retreat in the Red Woods of northern Calif. This woman sitting at the same table as my aunt, threw out three old photo albums full of family photos & post cards from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The lady said the albums once belonged to her mother in law and since she didn't know the people in the photos she tossed the albums in the trash. My aunt later went dumpster diving and initially gave me one album and she kept the other two, then had a change of mind and gave me the other two albums.
You don't have to know the people to enjoy the photos. Well just like the old sayings go, "A picture is worth a 1000 words", or "One man's trash is another man's treasure"
Hey I could use a little help. If you recognize people or places or vehicles please speak up, add your comments please.

(Update! PIcked up a copy of it on eBay from a seller in San Rafael, CA for about $15 - It's in better condition than my Uncle John's - Thanks for the suggestion, Uncle John! I am happy! ^_^;)
I first read it when I was 9 or so when I was at my Uncle John's house.
This is the book that accompanies National Lampoon's "Animal House" film from 1978.
This is one of my favorite comedy films, and not just for John Belushi's unequalled performance as "Bluto" Blutarsky.
I wasn't old enough to appreciate it when it first came out, let alone see it. (First saw it on cable, and a rare mostly uncut version on KTXL TV-40 (Sacramento, CA) when I was a teenager - I eventually owned it on video.)
I have two version on DVD - the initial basic release and the "Double Secret Probation" special edition.
This book brought back memories, primarily when I read out loud a certain scene, and freaked my parents out. (Clue: A main character is having a debate between both sides of his conscience, with the bad side encouraging him to "F*** her..." ^_^;)
Uncle John has let me borrow it. I'll seek out a copy of it online, and hope it doesn't set me back too much. I've heard of copies of this in good condition going for US$80.00
I was also fortunate enough to see the short-lived TV tie-in series, "Delta House" when it ran on ABC shortly after the movie came out.
TV Trivia: John Vernon "Dean Wormer" and Stephen Furst "Kent Dorfman/Flounder" James "Hoover" Widdoes, and Bruce McGill "Daniel Simpson Day/D-Day" reprised their film character roles for the TV series.
True Story: I actually wore a bedsheet toga to go to a "toga party" dance at the CSU Stanislaus campus with friends of mine, but by the time we got there, the dance was more or less deserted, or had barely got underway... Gah.

Newspapers had a nice run and all but it appears that they're time of delivering news to the world is almost over. The concept of actually reading the news simply can't compete with hot female news anchors reading it to us and nobody thinks Garfield is funny anymore. And seriously ... who uses coupons?
