Thank you Alicia Lozano, NBC
Operation Inflation continues in Portland, since a run on frog costumes has depleted that supply. Here we have a panda, unicorn, dinosaur, chicken, and another unicorn :-)

Who will build this house for me inside a network of old women playing softball
A house on a lake in Smedjebacken Sweden. Gloriously quirky, gothic without being sullen, with curving metal roofs, a huge sunroom, portals on the turret, and the shade of green that is eternal. Oh, and no garage because it’s on an island.

This was published in the Charleston Gazette, in Charleston, West Virginia, on December 23, 1938.
A nationally syndicated news column from December 22, 1938. The headline reads Hitler is declared master of Europe. Senator Robert Reynolds of South Carolina was quoted at the end, “people ought to get busy and realize what goes on in Europe, particularly in the economic battle.“ The article is only three paragraphs long.

Challenge: Post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hellhole it is.

(1988, sorry)
Beth Campbell stands on the National Mall, a beautiful spring day in 1988, astraddle, the U.S. Capitol seen beneath her legs. Peak 20-something.

He has our checking account, our guns, and our tv talking people.

(August, 2016)
Trump mocking people with disabilities, circa August 2016. He flails his arms spastically. He is the deepest misuse of a human, himself.

Posting this for fans of innovative theater. I found this article in a Charleston, WV newspaper from 1923. Has anyone heard of Kathleen Kirkwood?
Kathleen Kirkwood developed innovative lighting techniques in 1923 in a small off-Broadway theater.

How many lights do we burn if oppressors invade by radio waves
2 candles in a living room window 1 if by land, 2 if by sea … 250 years ago, Paul Revere rode to alert Bostonians the Monarchy was attacking. “On the 18th of April in ‘75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.” Longfellow NO KINGS

Post the first video game you ever played:
A tv screen, monochromatic, of the 1970s tv game Pong. Like pingpong and hockey mashed, but 2 dimensional.

I identify as Ralph Monroe
Mary Grace Canfield captured hearts as the eccentric Ralph Monroe on "Green Acres," delighting viewers with her clumsy carpentry skills and signature "Howdy Doody!" greeting.
