here we have Hot Lips Houlihan cozied up with DH along with the best bulldog who ever lived, Baggy Pants.
she was at a fundraiser for Stray Rescue of St. Louis
That's pretty cool, IL.
I think 87 is a good, long timespan.
okay---this is VERY important, but maybe not. see---the beatpools AKA Mop-topped foursome, booked an arena in zURRA, which is as you kids know, a rural state, mostly. So yeah---in order ta sell tickicks for a standing-room-only crowb, they hadta appeal to the country music fans that live here in flyover country. So anyway---they had this photo-op in Zurra, showing them on horseback. See? But yeah---they also flew inta rural Zurra in a plane like the one Buddy Holly was on, that dreadful day up in Iwah.(see photo)
okay--it;s been raining and raining and raining,and its gonna be like jungle out there. Yup. Some precip is essential, but not alla this rain like what we been getting. I say we build a central pipeline system, connecting various resovoirs across the country. See?
It has rained here every Saturday for 11 or 12 weeks in a row, and I feel so bad for people who work Mon-Fri.
Yes, those who depend on the Colorado river need our water. Charge ‘em of course.
okay----the fertile crescent.(see photo) but yeah----once they roust the sand jockeys & deport them, they can build a wall around it. Yup. got just about everything they'd need to be self-sustaining. make the bucks on tourism, too.
okay----another story about a stigmatized building. see--they had a story about this the other day, tho i was kinda aware of it before, just not all the details. well, there used to be a grocery chain here called "consumers", locally-based. I guess they still own summa the buildings they were in, to lease to other companies. But yeah---they closed up about 30 years ago. there was one built in the early 50's over on the west side, along one of the streets route "66" used to pass through the city. When Consumers closed that store, they leased it to Bud or Jim or someone as a IGA or Super Valu grocery, and I usta go in there when i was in that part of town, 20+ years ago. One time, i used the rest room in there, which was located up front in the store. I noticed how antique-y the restroom was, and guessed the store was as old as I am. They only had one for the public to use. That was years ago, and later on, the building was leased to some kind of "it takes a village" kind of organization for kids, and completely remodeled. That was probly 10-15 years ago. Well, the story about the store that makes it stigmatized is that in the summer or 1955, the store had a display of fireworks for sale, up front and INSIDE the store, which somehow got ignited and went off, creating a blaze but mostly LOTS of toxic smoke. Well, mosta the people, employees and customers, exited the store through an exit near the rear of the store, but two young girls and a middle-aged woman took refuge in the bathroom up front. The fire department got everything under control, put the blaze out, but the three in the bathroom were asphyxiated by the fumes. Pretty sad. The store was restored and reopened, but city council passed some stringent ordinance regarding the sale and use of fireworks inside the city. But yeah; true story. Yup. How do you like that?
okay---here's the former grocery store building that had the incident with fireworks in 1955.(see photo) Yup.
