Callum is helping me restore my big sister’s old vintage dolls, and this poor thing’s hair is just one huge knot! (He has such a nice utility sink in the Laundry/Kitchenette in Dasha’s garage where he lives. It makes such a great work space, I think I have laundry room envy!)
I watched for an hour or so but these fixtures stayed still.
We're Here & we're wondering, is this a still life?
For that damn tree that someone places RIGHT in the middle of the fairway just about 220 yards off the tee. The 17th hole at Plantation Golf Course in Boise, Idaho comes to mind.

I can't stop looking at some of the infrastructure that is required to make a city work. It's surprising to me how these pieces go for the better part unnoticed. They are ugly, but they have a way of blending in.
Note the differences between this Frazer Vagabond Utility sedan and the 1951 Kaiser Traveler Utility Sedan. Here the rear lamps are positioned much higher.
The 1951 was more or less a restyled 1949-50 Kaiser, While the 1951 Kaiser had a brand new body.
Production of the Frazer Vagabond came to an end as soon as the old Kaiser bodies were used up.
The Kaiser-Frazer Corporation was formed in July 1945 by two successful businessmen Henry J. Kaiser (1882-1967) and Joseph W. Frazer (1892-1971).
Immediately after the war their industrial activities changed to develop and produce cars.
In the first three years the Kaiser-Frazer Corp. was quite successful. The company offered cars simultaneously under two different brand names: Frazer and Kaiser. The sub-companies shared bodies and technics.
The first cars appeared in August 1946.
New for 1949 was the Traveller Utility Sedan. This was a combination of a kind of commercial hatchback with a station wagon. The car had a back door which opened in two parts. The backseat could easily folded down to create cargo space. Industrial designer Howard "Dutch" Darrin (USA, 1897-1982) had a main influence on the styling, but the designs were revised by Robert Cadwallader.
Alex Tremulis (USA, 1914-1991) joined the design team in 1950 (after the 1948 Tucker failure).

This utility vehicle uses an engine that mixes diesel with nitrogen. The engine makes a weird humming sound that makes old people feel unconfortable.
