This is a 1966 World Series souvenir keychain I bought

at Dodger Stadium when I was.................. young. This game

was the Dodgers vs. the Orioles. Who won? No idea. I was

not at this game. I guess they just had some of these left-over

and I bought one at the game I went to.

I have no clue how I still have some of this stuff.

Awwww, a baby dinosaur.
(Not real)

 

 "You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!"

Man, pardon my dust... Like I say, live in the mountains,

live with dust. Under THIS dust is a hard rubber like material

in the form of a Darth Vader helmet. This figure has a hole in

the bottom and when he was new he was stuffed with a Star

Wars T-shirt that was delivered via that hole. I bought him

without the T-shirt.... cheap.

I was doing my weekly's over at Walmart and when I got to my car

I noticed a white truck waiting for a parking spot while the poor

soul parked there was rushing around to get their stuff in the car

so the truck could move in.

That truck waited for over five minutes.....

while sitting in front of those open spaces.

The spot they were waiting for was a difference
of four, count 'em... four spaces.

During one of the visits we made to Texas I picked

up this guide to Amarillo happenings and places to

visit. This was about 100 years ago.

Inside is an ad for the Bonanza Sirloin Pit restaurant

featuring a photo of Little Joe, Pa Ben and Hoss

Cartwright. This really brings back memories. I did a

Google search of this address and much to my dismay,

I believe the property is now the home of a Taco Bell

fast food restaurant. Ack.

 

Check. it. out. Bobby Hughes and the Western Heartbeats

are entertaining over at the Avalon Ballroom. I really

wish I could hear these guys.

Here is another medallion I bought at the Family Christian

Store. I have been carrying this one in my wallet for a few

years along with the one in my last post.

This one is Saint Jude.

This medallion scares me a bit as sometimes, no, a lot of times

I make decisions that are less than desirable. And yes, I do try

to deal with the results. That can be a challenge as well.

Right?

I bought this Saint Christopher pendant at the Family
Christian Store a few years ago and it has been riding
in my wallet ever since. 

Saint Christopher is the patron Saint of Travelers

and his story is very cool.

A scale replica of Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber

from "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith".

I have four of these replica lightsabers and truth be

told, if they were separated from their stands and

mixed up, I would not know which lightsaber belonged

to which Jedi.

And oh man, I need to dust the inside of my cabinet.

Living in these mountains means dust everywhere

all of the time.

My mom told me a long time ago that if I find a

penny on the ground (or any coin) that I should pick

it up and keep it because it is good luck. So that is

what I do and I keep them in a little leather pouch that

I bought at the Renaissance Faire in Agoura California

in the early 80's.

Have they brought me good luck? Better luck than

the the folks who lost the pennies I am thinkin'.

Wall-e(s) on the wall.

~ Happy Friday the 13th, April 2018! ~

(For this Friday the 13th I have a picture of my

Mezco Cinema of Fear: 3.75-Inch Jason Voorhees.)

We used to go to June Lake and surrounding areas opening day

fishing and just whenever we could get up there in general. We would

go through Bishop all the time. Bishop is a fantastic little town with

so much history. This is a postcard from the Starlight Motel in

Bishop. This must be from about 1966 or 67.

 

They had TV sets too, back before cable. I know it seems

kind of plastic, and some folks cannot imagine that staying

in these little motels was as cool as it was, but just like drive-in

theaters of old, it was VERY fun.

The fishing was good too. Rainbow trout. OH yeah.

An old pass to the 20th Century Fox lot.

 

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came around this year and left one

of his pals... Carrot Patch Pete. And let me tell you,

Pete was tasting mighty fine this year. MIGHTY fine.

This maze was on the back of Mr. Pete's box. I took a picture

of it just in case you might want to give it a try for yourself

(because I am into sharing like that). Of course, you can

kind of see where I did the maze already, and I got

it totally right, the first time. Not bragging.
