An elderly woman fell on her way into the church building. Fortunately, several nurses were present and the woman received plenty of attention. Not knowing where to find the church's first aid kit, one of the nurses asked if I had a Band-Aid.
Sure! The nearest box was in a cabinet in my office. I grabbed the box and handed it to her; the nurse dashed back to her patient.
Later, it turned out that the senior citizen who had fallen really didn't care for any of the designs in the box. I hadn't realized that these bandages were left-overs from the years I had been a youth leader.
Oops! I remember the teenagers loving these.
I now have a new box of Band-Aids in my office.

Ok so I have to break tradition a bit and post a shot of our little one before she is no longer little, she is growing so fast. She was three months on January 1st. Now were full into the teething stage, as well as the re-puppy proof the house stage as she can now reach things higher up on the tables. All in all she has been pretty mild, except for chewing a signed first edition book I had on the stained glass work of Frank Lloyd Wright ... sigh. The joys of a labrador. Cheers, j
This is the Eau Claire Normal School's first band, formed in 1922. Directed by Alfred E. Mayer, the band's first appearance was on January 20th, 1922 at an assembly, as a pep band of sorts. It was due to the efforts of music teacher Gladys Eisenhart that the band got off the ground at all; she offered to direct it if nobody else was available to do so, and was in charge of ordering all musical arrangements. When it began, the band had few members; by the time the 1922 Periscope was published, the number of members had reached twenty-four. Twenty of them are pictured here.
The Periscope lists these names as members of the band:
W. E. Slagg (teacher of biology and agriculture)
Dick Gifford
McKinley Tidd
Raymond Lindscheid
Robert Knoblock
Monroe Milliren (manual training teacher)
Chester Long
George Studebaker
Hart Garness
Alvin Manz

First band at the Eau Claire State Normal School. Featured in 1922 Periscope, p. 75. A. E. Mayer, director. Identified on back: Mr. Slagg (second from right, first row), Arthur Rahm (Rahn?) (third from left).

i did my first bazaar last night! it went pretty well for being a small bazaar. made about $100, sold half my sugar cookies, and all of the samoas i had out on display. barely put a dent in the cupcakes though. i think people walked up expecting cupcakes and were surprised by the cookies, and became more interested in them. i have another bazaar i'll be doing mother's day weekend :3

it's f.u.p.o.m. time, and I took advantage of peter attending by asking him some tips and tricks about flagstone folding. he had just tried this pattern and so we used it as an example.
completing the ring around the first hexagon was tough enough as it is. flagstones are weird...
I tried to extend the pattern by listening to what the paper told me to do.
I tried for some 2 hours or so.
I didn't understand the paper.
I got quite thoroughly frustrated.
back at home before going to bed I tried again. and bit by bit it really started to work.
I was really proud of myself. all the more so on the next day when peter told me that he had convinced himself that it couldn't be done. ha!
I just noticed, though,that I have probably cheated. not on purpose. solely by lack of knowledge. I am sorry!

I was busy in Berkeley on the first Earth Day in 1970.
I had a regular balloon guy i could count on for political events, usually carried or released at City Hall, San Francisco.
This time, i needed two blue balloons about four feet wide. He showed up right on time.
My prep was to be able to ‘draw the world’ on a balloon in about one minute. ( India was just a triangle, of course. * )
So, we blew up the first balloon with helium and i drew in the continents in green and brown for the land and white for ice.
We put a string on the balloon and handed it off the first person in the crowd that reached for it.
But, he wasn’t used to where it was above his head and he walked it under a street sign and popped it in less than five seconds.
But we had TWO blue balloons.
We started over... blew it up with helium, drew the world on it and handed it off.
A lot of people in the crowd had gasped when they saw it pop. It’s chances of being protected were much better.
And it lasted throughout the whole parade, and was the ONLY huge balloon, so it became the icon of the parade.
And....

There was a booklet printed about the parade that used the crowd with the balloon on the cover. I never had a copy and can’t find it, now.
Anybody.?

More on painting the World on the giant balloon-
I look at the world now and imagine that a way to establish the relationship of North to South America would be to draw an ‘S’ curve, starting along the California Coast, sweeping down and across to the Eastern Coast of South America. Then put a brush stroke in the center of the S to mark the Yucatan and Panama. Then, the rest of America would fall into place.
Which is to say, it would fall into place if you practiced it over and over at home.
The final trick was to somehow, go from the flat view on paper to the big, ungainly sphere. I suppose that was done on the round surface by starting with a big, clarifying ‘X’ at the North and South poles of the balloon.
The legs of the X would start at Greenwich, then Siberia, then the mid Pacific, then the United States. And using the Equator would be a big help.
But the lines couldn’t show.:
There were no lines on Earth Day.
We were all getting impressed by the first partial photos of the Earth, high enough to show the curvature with not a line in sight. And then we got “The Blue Marble”, two years later.:

Ordering a second balloon as a stand-by was my standard practice, but Earth Day was the only time that I needed the second one.
___
I’ve been kind of blocked from using Photoshop, lately, so i used the Apple Pen with Procreate. I was coached on Procreate by Pete, who is really good at it.
The visible side of the balloon is newly drawn; the ghostly far side is from D&L TOYS.
The real balloon was not translucent. You couldn’t see through to the other side.
