"Tell Me What You See" (Digital Hoarding XVI)

 I will admit, that my digital hoarding has become such that I cannot remember any more the details of each photo I have stashed away on my hard drive. At my age, my data storage (aka brain) is deleting things to make room for new things. So let me go through another group of photos, not taken by me but either sent to me, scanned from a hard copy, or just pulled off the internet including from Facebook.

Here we go, let us start with a few personal photos I have saved.

Personal

I actually found this photo in my sister Pat's yearbook and scanned it in. This was the Junior Miss pageant held at Middlebury Union High School. Patsy is sitting second from right, next to neighbor and friend Trudy.

Well, I'll be damned, this is a photo I took. My friend Mac Monroe is pulling out some wine. His children rented a house for Thanksgiving and invited me over for the festivities. This would be the last time I see Mac as he passed within a year of this photo.

My friend Nancy went to Korea with her sister and had this picture taken next to her witches broom. This is a Harry Potter themed café in Seoul.


Taken in Middlebury, this is Steve's Diner which was torn down. Luckily, I was at the ceremony they had before the demolition.

My nephew Israel with his son doing their best ET impersonation for Halloween.

When my niece turned 50, I attended a small dinner in Orlando. A great time was had by all...

A Caleb Kenna drone photo of my hometown of Middlebury. The main difference is a new train tunnel going through the center of town. It was upgraded to accomodate a modern Amtrak train.

Interesting

I think this same Flannel Watch is happening this week.

Just too funny...

Being a lifetime Mathematician, it has only been since my retirement that I have taken an interest in words. Math may be hard, but it makes more sense than this...

To Ponder

Nice sign...

Interesting photo. There is a copy later so you don't drop your phone...


I was pondering a world cruise but my suitcase is not big enough to hold all the underwear I would need.

The view of the previous photo...

Cartoon

Ha ha...


Dog humor...

It took me a second to get it...

Funny



I almost bought this tee shirt...




Ending with a homage to one of my favorite bands, The Police. Rock Sand!!

I hope you have enjoyed the latest hoard (you should see my filing system, almost as funny as some of these photos).

About Title


"Tell Me What You See" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that first appeared in 1965 on their album Help! in the United Kingdom and on Beatles VI in the United States. The song is credited to Lennon–McCartney but mainly written by Paul McCartney. Regarding the song's authorship, McCartney said, "I seem to remember it as mine. I would claim it as a 60–40 but it might have been totally me." John Lennon said, in his interviews with Playboy (1980) and Hit Parader (1972), that "Tell Me What You See" was written completely by 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 sch...

"The Long and Winding Road"

Image
 I met John Pitkethly back in February of 1980. Since then, it has been a Long and Winding Road , but John played an integral part in how my life turned out. He hired me as a Data Analyst I and I started ENSCO on March 17, 1980. And I retired 34 years later, as a Data Analyst II . Just kidding, I was allowed to flourish at ENSCO, and worked on many interesting projects with many unique scientists and software engineers. John's life: Work, Drinks, Golf, Drinks, Cruises, Drinks, Drinking, Drinks. (and Family throughout) This is what John looked like when I started work at ENSCO, the DCS Division, in Indian Harbour Beach at Shopper's World. John was 43... This is what I looked like when I started at ENSCO, I was 22. When I started, Norm Bush was our Division Manager. Eventually Norm would become the President of ENSCO and John would become Division Manager of the ARS (Applied Research and Systems) and then VP, moving our office to Suntree. In 1999, John decided to retire and new D...

"Not a Second Time"

Image
 The second cycle of 17 is where a lot of significant things happened to me. I graduated High School in the first year, graduated college in the fifth year and then moved to Florida to join my parents for a short period since I only had $11 left in my bank account. I sent out my resume to almost a 100 companies, many of them in the Northeast. But no luck on the job search. Here are some pictures from the second cycle of 17, some might call it 18 through 34, but not me! Visiting Florida in the first year continued as my parents took me and my great friend Rene Paquette, to visit my Dad's parents, Albia and Lois, in Daytona. We actually stayed at a cheap motel on the famous (and drivable) Daytona Beach. Harold and Stella with Albia, Rene and I behind them, at the pool of our motel. The first year was also my Senior year at MUHS. Being so young, I agreed to host a talent show with my pitching (baseball) buddy and classmate Steve Corbett. We were billed as the Coroncha Brothers. Steve ...
