Digital Hoarding VII

 Anyone that owns a computer knows that a lot more files are collected than are necessary to keep. If you become a hoarder of photos like me, the mess becomes even greater and harder to manage. Here are some more from my collection of funny and interesting finds on the Internet, what I like to call "Digital Hoarding".

Personal

What, BJ took a picture of a beer? I had to share this one because of the can art. My parents use to own a VW camper that we traveled with from Vermont to Florida. It had a pop-up tent. Also, certain family members have became Beach Hippies, the name of the beer. Can you get any more personal?

For 34 years I worked in the world of computers. I try to tell the story of the IBM hard drives I was using that held like 330 MB and were the size of a large washing machine. When I saw this photo, it helped prove my point. And to think, this photo is four years out of date.

I have a whole collection of Nubble Lighthouse photos, what Vermonter doesn't? I just have never seen one without people and so much turmoil. 

I liked this photo because it was similar to one of the ships I went on called the Oasis of the Seas. At the top are two wave running pools for wake boarding and other wave riding. There is a bar between the two. One day I sat at that bar taking photos of the people having fun, and drank 8 Mai Tais. Below is a pool with stadium where they have shows in the water. I attended the Belly Flop contest down there. There are also two rock climbing walls and the umbrella is covering a full size Carousel.


The next two photos are from a place we use to go to when I first moved to Florida. It is no longer there in Melbourne Beach. On the weekends, they use to have live music and we had a friend who would play in a band there. Great memories. I miss the prices of food...


Optical Illusions

The white dots are heads....

Is that a man walking into the forest or just a dog walking out?


Are these glazed donuts or something much scarier, like snakes?

Now who would buy this?

Or this?

Animals

I cannot remember if those were painted on this cow...

A Croc with a Croc....


Maybe I should have included this one with the optical illusions. At least he won't starve for a while.


For my friends with pets...

Interesting

These are actually painted stones, not eggs...(Actually I do not remember, I just liked the art work.

A guide for my friends who live near ice. My curiosity is how do you know the thickness of the ice without going out on it to measure?

Funny

And a few that just made me LOL...
I hope this photo was not from a relative...

And one last one...

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did...

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 sch...

"All You Need Is Love"

Image
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 ...
