October 31, 2025

 

I don't know how Gary Larson came up with these cartoons, but I'm sure glad he did.  This is just plain silly!

Saw this in the paper and thought about my Mom.  I used to take her out to eat at Anthony's and one day I was low on gas.  "Pull into the next station," she said, "and I'll put it on my credit card".  I'm not sure what year this was -- and someone might be able to figure it out -- because when I handed her the receipt she declared, "$35 dollars!!  That's more than I paid for my first car!"  $50K, interestingly enough, is about twice what I paid for my little Pacific Beach bungalow in 1972.

I thought for sure we'd seen this 1958 El Cortez photo before, but apparently not.  I'm adding it to the one I DID show.  Click HERE and pretend you're in the glass elevator.

If Don's Hamburgers had worked a little harder, maybe THEY'D be opening a 4-story restaurant in Las Vegas.  (Yes, I was taking pictures of pretty girls while I was still in junior high school)





I snagged this book off the Apple Books site and was startled to see Dave Duncan '63 get a mention in the chapter on Tom Seaver.  Click HERE to read all about it.

I think Jeannine Berger Passenheim and I can hide our own Easter Eggs.  She wondered if anyone had ever mentioned John Muir Elementary or Mohawk Street.  I gently pointed out that, in fact, she had done that very thing.  Click HERE to take another look.
