I got this menu in a "paper lot" at a local auction. I thought I'd share it here - complete with the menu items listed inside, through other scans in the photostream.

Some items look familiar, some not so much; and look at those 1945 prices!

This is going to be the year we get our extension sorted!

We've lived here for nearly six and a half years and have been putting it off due to the disruption involved but I can't live with my awful kitchen any longer. We got the final plans and building regs through just before Christmas and I gave them to two builders today to get quotes drawn up. I haven't been able to face looking at the plans for over a year but am enthusiastic, if terrified, about getting things moving! It's a really big job and will involve a huge amount of disruption/key walls being knocked down/no boiler etc etc but hopefully it will all be worth it. We should end up with a 6m square kitchen/living/dining room, a new extension to our lounge, a utility and downstairs loo, plus an extra bedroom. I'm not sure about how the camera/computer equipment is going to fare with all the dust though. At least my worries about my Sigma 30mm focussing seems to be unfounded as it picked the right thing to focus on here.

OK....a lot going on here. First off as soon as I noticed this pink ticket on the windshield as I left the coffee shop where I'd had an extended brunch, I thought (or rather hoped) it was from a Friend that had drove by and left a sweet note. LOL Not so. So me being the civic minded individual, I drove straight to the City Hall and paid the fine ($5.00) without paying much attention. After I posted it on FB, some of my friends pointed out the date was from the future (Did Jean Claude van Damme return from Time Cop to write this ticket?) . Strange things already happening in 2013.

As far as I can tell (corrections and additions welcome) this reads:

My shoes can look clean.

Remind me in two months to take a picture. I have a tendency to wear my shoes too long. I'll wear these until I can smell them from a standing position.

This is an image of fol. 69v [=68v] from University of Pennsylvania LJS 173: Enchiridion mathematicum continens elementa matheseōs, from Wittenberg, dated to 1629, 1632.

A good portion of my recent reading material has consisted of this lone sheet of paper, which I have been carrying in my shirt pocket for the past week or so, and taking out at frequent intervals to look at it. Here's the story:

The Chandler Fred Astaire studio occasionally presents its own version of "Dancing with the Stars." I took my camera to the last such performance in August, but did not participate in the event except as an observer. I was supposed to have performed in it, but for a number of reasons the plan was aborted that time around.

The next performance is scheduled for Thursday evening, December 13, and I am scheduled to perform in it this time, along with our instructor, Miss Angie. The dance will be a foxtrot, performed to an old swing-era tune called "Pennsylvania 6-5000." I envision it as being a sort of tribute to the Greatest Generation, and am trying to scrounge up something that at least bears a plausible resemblance to a World War II military uniform, which I then propose to wear for this unique event in my life. Unique thus far, at least; but if all goes as well as I hope, it may not be the last time I do something like this.

I admit being a bit nervous about dancing in front of 75 to 100 people, but I want to overcome my nervousness and do this anyway, for several reasons. First, it's a challenge, and involves something that does not come easily or naturally to me. Second, I trust my instructor. Third, my respect and affection for Angie are such that I really want to do her proud, and that alone is incentive enough for me to want to tackle this challenge and do it well.

Angie and I started preparing for this about a week ago. She interrupted our second lesson a couple of nights later to sit down with me and have me write down the steps and cues in my own words, and I protested the interruption, but now realize she did the right thing to make me do this. It would be just about impossible for me to learn the routine without some kind of written aid. I have been carrying this sheet of paper in my shirt pocket ever since, and consulting it at frequent intervals as I practice the routine on my own. Sometimes those opportunities present themselves in unusual ways. This week our son Colin came to visit us for Thanksgiving, and one evening I took him and his friend over to Wal-Mart to pick up some transmission fluid. While the boys were shopping, I pulled this sheet out of my pocket and started practicing my footwork for this routine, and Colin looked at me with a sort of amused astonishment. I don't think anyone else saw it, but if they did, I don't care.

This afternoon I took our Toyota in for a long-overdue car wash, which took perhaps half an hour, including the wait in line. While the car was being worked on, I went out to the parking lot and practiced the routine over and over again, orienting myself to an imaginary line of dance by using a painted yellow line on the pavement as my reference. I know some of the other customers saw me doing this, but again, I don't care.

My wife's favorite TV program is "Dancing with the Stars," which I have been watching with her this season. She's excited about seeing me perform in my own version of the program, and if and when her health ever allows it, I hope to do something like this with her. And perhaps with Vanessa as well, although at age 13, dancing with one's dad just isn't a "cool" thing to do.

Angie, by the way, seeing me work on these notes, remarked how much she loved my handwriting. I thanked her, but told her I thought it was awful, especially since I have arthritis now, and writing anything by hand has become rather difficult for me. The bottom portion of this was written by Angie, and the whole thing was written in pencil, with the exception of the phrase "8 steps +/-." which appears near the bottom. I used my fountain pen for that.

This image is best viewed large. Meanwhile, that song is buzzing around in my head constantly these days!!

(Update: The actual performance -- the result of all the effort I described above, and more -- can be seen here. It wasn't perfect, but it went about as well as I had hoped. And all in all, probably not too bad for a 54-year-old man who had scarcely danced a step in his life until less than a year ago!

A still image captured at the conclusion of this performance may be found here, with others almost certainly to follow in coming days. But I liked this one best.)

(Second update: This folded sheet of paper with handwritten notes on it served as a memento of one of the happiest experiences of my life, and I carried it in my shirt pocket every day for nearly two months after that performance. One evening around the end of January, I took it out, looked over it again, and decided I'd have it laminated and put in a secure place, along with some of my other treasured possessions. Unfortunately, however, that plan will never be realized. The very next evening, I did my laundry after forgetting to remove the contents from one of my shirt pockets. As a result, two of my fountain pens, one ballpoint pen, and several papers -- including this one -- started the wash cycle together. The pens survived, but one pair of my trousers did not, because a fountain pen leaked on them; and in addition, all of the papers were completely obliterated. But at least I had the foresight to take this picture before that little mishap took place.)

This document is a telephone message, from Inspector Colman based in Cairns to the Commissioner of Police at Brisbane, regarding the riot that occured on the 17 July 1932 between unemployed workers, police and members of the public at the Cairns Showground.

While there were a number of violent clashes between the unemployed and authorities during the Great Depression, one of the most symbolic incidents occurred at Cairns in July 1932. When Cairns City Council failed to honour its promise to provide accommodation, approximately 200 unemployed men formed a camp in Parramatta Park, venue for the annual agricultural show. As the opening of the show approached, Mayor W.A. Collins warned the squatters that they would have to vacate the site. When threats failed to have the desired effect, the city fathers organised a large vigilante force which, armed with lethal makeshift weapons, descended on a hastily-erected barricade set up by the unemployed.

The vigilantes were supported by approximately 30 police, and with overwhelming numbers on their side they soon took possession of the grounds. At least 100 people, mostly unemployed, were injured - some seriously. Yet it was three of the unemployed who were convicted and imprisoned for assault. Another four were charged with the same offence and acquitted. They had in fact done little more than demand their basic rights, and the ‘Cairns Unemployment Riot’ had an important two-fold impact. On one hand it created a new militancy among the unemployed and destitute. On a more positive note, the incident encouraged local authorities elsewhere in Queensland to avoid similar violence by providing temporary accommodation for the unemployed.

Til våre medlemmer.

Vi finner det rett å måtte henstille til hver enkelt lærer å vise den skarpeste aktpågivenhet, således at det ikke blir skåret, tegnet eller skrevet på pultene og i vinduskarmene, på veggene i klasserom og ganger eller på noe av skolens materiell. Pulter og annet materiell må derfor til stadighet ettersees.

Likeledes må elevenes skoleforklær (kitler, arbeidsfrakker) om nødvendig straks vaskes (eventuelt renses), så de ikke er forsynt med noensomhelst tegn, merke eller bokstaver, unntatt elevenes og / eller skolens navn.

De ovennevnte forholdsregler er et viktig ledd i arbeidet for å verne skolens arbeidsro.

The Scroll of Isildur was a scroll made by Isildur himself during his short time in Minas Tirith after the War of the Last Alliance between T.A. 1 and 2. The scroll held Isildur's account of the gaining of the Ring from Sauron and described the appearance of an inscription around the Ring while it was still hot. The Scroll was stored for millennia in the vaults of that city. Gandalf started to believe that Bilbo Baggins' Magic Ring was the One. In T.A. 3017 he visited Minas Tirith and studied the scroll. Isildur's description was vital in helping Gandalf identify the Ring. He visited Frodo Baggins in Bag End and testing his ring in the fireplace, confirmed it as the One Ring of Sauron.

For the earliest students, information can be hard to find as the early records can sometimes be incomplete however we can search the class lists to find out who attended what classes. As you can see, this page lists those who attended ‘Physica’, or ‘Physics’ and you will also notice the convention, found in the early student records, of translating the names into Latin for example ‘Duncanus’ for ‘Duncan’ and ‘Gulielmus’ for ‘William’. Until the late 18th century, Latin was the language of academia and at the University of Glasgow lectures were conducted in Latin until around 1730.

Here is homework laying on my floor. I don't have much of a desk to have a lot of stuff on so sometimes I do end up doing homework on the floor if it's hand written stuff. So here I portrayed the different things a college student uses to do homework. Instead of using my student handbook planner I just write down all my assignments in a binder I have and check them off when I get done with them. Makes me remember what homework I need to do and get done.
