"Polythene Pam"

 Digital Hoarding XIII

Slowly I am reviewing my hoard of digitally saved files. I am quire eclectic and sometimes I do keep weird things. But not as weird as the lyrics to this Beatle's song: 

Well, you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well, you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes, you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And the second verse is even weirder, thankfully it was the end of the song. 

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes, you could say she was attractively built
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So onward to my latest collection... 

Photography

They call this "Snowliage". When the fall foliage meets the winter snow...(Grabbed from Facebook)

The next photo is Brandon Vermont in 1908. Might be from a postcard (Grabbed from Facebook)

When I moved to Florida in 1979, this hangar was still in use at Patrick Air Force Base. The small beach across A1A is still called Hangar Beach. This photo was in the 1960s. Back then, there was a pier in the Atlantic, remnants can be seen to the left. It was destroyed by a hurricane (or big storm). I do not remember it but maybe saw it when I was a kid.


In Middlebury Vermont, Lyons Place was my favorite place to shop when I was in High School. This photo is from 1979 and I found it doing a Google Search. It was run by Greg Lyons and the store is closed but the building now houses a different place.

One of my friends growing up was Paul Hamlin. This is his plane that he flies around Pensacola. I grabbed it off Paul's Facebook page. That is Paul in the photo. He was a Marine fighter pilot.


Picture Humor

These are my kind of friends...

I actually like kale but this one cracked me up...

Hard core Crocs...

Another one that is funny. The Mathematician in me is upset that they did not flip the whole helmet but kept the top in the same place...

Signs





I am a procaffeinater...

Interesting Data

Why I Majored in Math!!


In English, "A green worm goes towards the green glass."

I graduated college in 1979...(I guess I have had this one for two years)

I did a seven night cruise on the Oasis of the Seas...a lot bigger than the Titanic...

Being a skier from Vermont, I found this one very interesting...
Two points of view, two different truths...


Cartoons





I hope you have enjoyed the latest digital hoard.

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
