Front of postcard Note the riding pants and spurs on the heels of his boots. On the back of the postcard I'll show you more of what I found out about this card in a later post.
I took this photo of some clouds at sunset a few years ago, but not in the direction of the sunset itself. I'm looking forward to taking more photos when I get some strength back. Here are some photos I took of a real caboose. I played around with editing the original photo. Maybe the "C" in C207 is for caboose. Notice the brake on the bottom left. The date is 1944 and it looks like the wheel was made in Pittsburgh. Take care, John
When was young I enjoyed this amusement park tremendously! The holes in the round ticket were punched out by a man with a clipper when you went on a ride. Some "Rides": There were wooden horses coming down from a great height on a wavey track. As with all the rides, I don't remember seat belts! Upon entering the park there was a three story high ladder to see a rare giant red bat. Instead, it was a baseball bat painted red put in a cage. There was a walk across a stage whare a man who would hide came out and give you an electric shock on your butt from a stick he held. The "audience" would laugh as the person jumped and ran away. He was especially eager to make sure the young girls got their shock. It did not hurt as much as startle you. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ There was a giant wooden wavy slide. It was almost a roller-coaster on your pants. There were many other rides and odd wildness: This all came to mind when I saw a photo of the round entrance ticket. Check out Google
Preparing for WWIII ? I think this tank is being set up to run on its own someday. Maybe when artificial intelligence takes over the world? This would make a good science fiction plot.
