"Something" (aka Digital Hoarding X)

I wanted to keep my streak of using Beatles song titles for my post, so I figured the digital hoarding post includes a little bit of Something.

Hard to believe I am at 10 posts about my crazy collection of personal and shared photos, cartoons and just crazy stuff from the Internet.

Signs

I almost included this one in my Personal section since my niece Lori was born in Hawaii, and my sister Pat lived there for more than 20 years.

No comment on this next one, but I laughed...


The beach behind my favorite hangout Lou's Blues is a dog beach. I have not heard this dog name yet...


Too funny, it just hits home!


I know people that could do this...


This is why I retired, every day is a weekend.


I find this logical...


Not to make fun of death but it is going to happen, may as well enjoy the fire.


Although I cannot drink this much anymore, I remember when it was true...

Personal

Here are some photos, graphics and an article that are personal to me.

The first shot was sent to me by Nancy when she was in Japan last year; the Vampire Café.


On my National Geographic Expedition one of the photographers I met was Jeff Litton. He takes some wonderful photos and shares them on Facebook. This was one of the Northern Lights.


I was doing some research on the big fire in Middlebury in the 1800s. This is one I grabbed of the reconstruction of Battell Bridge in the heart of Middlebury Vermont, my hometown.


Another by Jeff Litton; taken in Alaska. He still cruises with Nat Geo.


Frigates is a local restaurant that I periodically visit...Lobster Roll

Hey, that's me! Taken at Lou's Blues by my cousin Jon Carey, lower right.


Some of the flooding in Vermont last summer was devastating. This was a back road...

In 2022, Hurricane Ian was a deadly and extremely destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane, which was the third-costliest weather disaster on record worldwide and the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. It passed over Melbourne (and my home) as it entered the Atlantic.

Brightline goes through Brevard county where I live, with no stops currently. Six people have been killed by the train since it started running in September of last year.


Funny but true...


Kismet was a restaurant I use to go to with my parents...sorry the print is so small. If you want to read it I can send you a copy...


Another map and memory of times with my parents. We went to Expo '67 eight times (I think), I was only 10 years old so probably could not count yet.

Photos

LMAO

Not sure if real...(Ha ha)


The lady complained that they wrote Bitch on her sandwich,  forgetting she had ordered a BLT with Cheese.

In Xmas 2022, I bought some Lindor Chocolates to give out. These were the White Peppermint.

Cartoons

Enjoy! (I guess this shows my sick sense of humor)






Misc

I have been playing around with easy charts to explain a Novel or Movie. This was an example I found online that I liked but I am not artistic enough to draw. I love the concept...



About the post title:

"Something" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their eleventh studio album Abbey Road (1969). It was written by George Harrison, the band's lead guitarist. Together with his second contribution to Abbey Road, "Here Comes the Sun", it is widely viewed by music historians as having marked Harrison's ascendancy as a composer to the level of the Beatles' principal songwriters, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

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
