Digital Hoarding V

 Earlier in the month I started sharing again some digital files I have hoarded. Here are the one I have collected from the last post in early May, and the ones I saved in November and December of 2022.

The first two are old Black & White photos. The first is of a guy playing a banjo. Do you recognize him?



FYI, that would be Jerry Garcia, lead singer of the Grateful Dead. The second is of actress Lynne Frederick, she was married to Peter Sellers and very pretty.


In November, we were hit by Hurricane Nicole and I collected this photo of some damage in Cocoa Beach. The 4th Street Fillin' Station is a popular restaurant that was converted on the site of a gas (filling) station. The canopy that use to cover the gas pumps came down. I like the place and it is located on the corner of 4th Street and A1A.



In December, someone recognized that Florida and the Grinch looked the same...


We had two hurricanes that hit us in 2022 and it was very similar to the ones that hit in 2004. I lost most of my shingles with water damage in 2004. The 18 year old roof did great in 2022.

Interesting view of the Moon and Earth. NASA related, I do live on the Space Coast.


Historical park in the Titusville area. I think Jungle Land lasted the longest. I had heard that when it closed the monkeys were let loose into the local area. Not sure how much is true...

Time elapsed photo of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch with two rockets landing at the port (on the right). That is the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse which is located on government land but maintained as a museum privately. I know people who volunteer there.



Although the World Cup 2022 caused some controversy in Qatar, a local guy got Melbourne in the news holding up his banner. I grabbed this from a local news feed but saw him on the National evening news too...


My latest find...


As a fan of the Tour de France each year, I just found this funny...


One for my Vermont friends and my birth state.Ha ha.


In December, I found this inventive husband's post and I had to share...



Bizarro (say no more)...


A Star Trek meme...


I had to grab this one just earlier this week...


For my friends who hunt...


This one got me thinking...


For my pet lover friends....


My dad use to decorate the house at Christmas in Middlebury. Luckily, here in Florida he had banana trees around the trailer and not Palm trees.


For my relatives and friends that get confused by "once removed"...



The mathematician and statistician in me just love these graphics...


Interesting...

Since I have reached 65, I pay more attention to the old jokes...I can relate.


Another graphic to end this latest Digital Hoarding Post! Enjoy!

Photo Memory - BJ with others

Image
As I continue to scan in all the photos I have collected over the years, I have continually modified the way I am trying to organize the photos. I have created groups by individuals, and of course central to that are photos of me. I have shared some of the single photos of me on Facebook, and I would like to share here a few of photos of me with others. The first photo is me, not even four months old, being held by my Grandmother, Helen Rheaume Shackett. I know the photo was taking at our Weybridge Street house in Middlebury by the banister behind us. The stairs are steep in the Provoncha house, and many a drunk fell down those stairs into the cactus my mom kept at the bottom. Tom moved the bathroom from the second floor to the first when he purchased the house, so now only those spending the night get to go up those stairs. BJ with Grandma Shackett The next photo is when I turned one in the summer of 1958. I lived at the Weybridge St house all my life through high school. I am

"All You Need Is Love"

Weddings! All you need is Love !  The other night I had a weird dream about attending a wedding. When I woke, I started thinking about the weddings I have attended in my life. I was not sure if I could remember them all. I know the list is long and I decided to al least get a record of the ones I have pictures from. Sometimes I was just an onlooker, and there were times I was lucky to be part of the wedding party. In actuality, I always participate in the wedding party! Here are some wedding photos from my archive. Family I did not attend this wedding. It was November 24 in 1946, my mom Stella united with my dad Harold at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Middlebury Vermont. Although I was not there in body, you could say my whole future depended upon this moment. My oldest sister Patsy got married out West and none of the family attended. Pat and Brent ended up moving to Hawaii where my niece Lori was born. Tom married Robin, but it was a very small gathering. Just after I graduated

"I Am the Walrus"

Image
 I use to be a Tiger and now I am the Walrus . Just recently I found out that my friend Randy Quesnel had passed away. Although it happened back in March, I just found out on Facebook. I had not kept in touch with Randy but I did have some fond memories of him. One connection we had was playing football together at MUHS. My Senior year, Randy was a Junior. I knew I had a photo of him but all I could find was this scan from the Addison Independent. Tigers of the Week ! This was 1974, 50 years ago. That is Randy on the left, and my classmate Bob Shaw on the right. Randy played fullback but he also spent time as defensive end. I was the defensive halfback on the same side of the field and Coach Wagner had a verbal call for me to let the DE know I was rushing and the DE had to contain. Whenever I made the call, Randy would give me a look, he liked to rush the backfield and I was messing him up. Of course, he knows the call was from either Hubie or Coach Chuck Martin or Coach K. But he was
