Digital Hoarding XVII

 I have gotten behind on posting my digital hoarding files. I plan to try and catch up with a few entries over the next few weeks. Here are the latest, some old, some new.

Funny

I like doing the crosswords each day in the paper. Sunday always has a large one. In May, the grid made me smile...

I think you may have to be older to get this one...it made me laugh.

Calvin without Hobbes...

The world we live in at the moment...

Another music reference that young people won't get...


Mapping

When I worked at ENSCO, I spent some time on mapping and map projections. I just find these interesting. The first one is that the states colored blue have less people than the red area, Los Angeles County.

Size comparison between California and Italy...

Japan if it was off the East coast of the USA...

Texas versus Poland...

Texas vs Africa...

USA versus Australia...

USA versus China...

USA versus India...


Interesting

Local restaurant flyer; this was 2025; need to be ready for 2026...

More New Restaurants

Tuesday would have been my father's birthday if he were still with us. Dad liked to eat at diners and places that served home cooking. Of course, my mom was the greatest home cooker around. So, in memory of my father, I drove to West Melbourne to have a late lunch at Ethel & Fred's Entree Restaurant. It is located in the Metro West Shopping Center at the corner of Wickham Road and US 192 (New Haven Avenue). Outside of Ethel & Fred's I remember there use to be a Draft House Theater, a place where you could order beer and food while watching a first run movie.  Every other row of seats were tables. Gret place. But that was then....this is now.... White Board with Specials of the Day I got in to the Restaurant around 2 PM. It is only open until 3 and the crowd was very thin.  It took them a while to see that I was there. They lose a point for that. They did have a whiteboard with the specials for the day, and I liked what I saw. The place is wide open, not gr...

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

Image
 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...

Play golf at the Neshobe Member-Guest

Image
This was my fourth year playing in the Member-Guest tournament held annually in August at the Neshobe Golf Club in Brandon Vermont. It is the main reason (but not the only one) for my travel by automobile to Vermont. My partner for the last three years has been my brother Tom, a member and worker at Neshobe. The first year I played with Jimmy Pratt. Sign at the clubhouse This year, 2016, was to be played on August 12-14. The weather was not looking good.  I had arrived to Middlebury on Wednesday, August 10. My brother Tom plays with a group on Thursdays so he invited me out. In actuality, Tom Anderson, Bill & Jim had asked if I wanted to play. I had watched Bill dump his golf hand-cart into the stream in a previous year. I think Tom Anderson has pictures but my brain does remember that image! Flowers growing at the First tee at Neshobe It was hot, the tee time was for 11 AM. I was playing with my brother Tom, and friends Paul Hogan and Jack Sheehan. Paul works the des...
