Thanks, DJ neebee!
I don't think it would be advisable, however, for this group to get up and dance for the camera.
There are Frank Tarver, Cleveland Washington, George Whitmore, and Bob Swift taking it easy at the brink of Lower Yosemite Fall in this photo from Yosemite In the Fifties. It looks a bit warmer than that, even though it's in the shade.
They probably had a different style of music they preferred over rock 'n' roll, being of a slightly older generation. They were probably horrified by that awful Pat Boone and that catty Peggy Lee! Sakes alive!
Raise your hands, Taco brethren and sisteren, if you've stopped to duck here yourselves!
Feel free to post your photos, if you gots.

The Grimp Who Stole the Muslim's Christmas.

He's such a HUGE moral source for this country.
Such a HUGE men's fashionisto.
Such a HUGE roadblock to peace in the future.
Do not vote for this man, vote for Gilligan, who eats less and is funnier by far.

Hey, I'm just up from a short winter's nap.
Heading back under the covers, the best place for me right now.

Take Five - Don't mind if I do. What is "mind" anyway?
STFU over and over again. No manners, no minors, no miners.
When you take your pill
it's like a mine disaster.
I think of all the people
lost inside of you.

Richard de Branautagain's Receipt
(with enhancement by MFM)
Take one medium-zized pig's shoulder roast, cut into cubes, the more square the better.
Brown lightly with as little butter/margarine as possible.
Again with a light touch, raineth on the pork some Flavor Mate salt-free Table Recipe (Receipt), but as much as you might like. Just appear light and gay while shaking it out.
Have waiting in the wings a couple of red onions, sliced into wedges and cut into chunks, etc. Also, maybe a cup, cup & a half of carrot cubes. And four--no, make it five--red potatoes likewise cubed. Place a cup or two of water over these, boiling just barely, and add to the pork, which should have been placed in a skillet large enough to accept all this.
Also, I forgot to tell you to open a package of crumbled dried dates and add a cup of these to the veggies. It's critical.
So, got the pork, veggies and dates going on the stove, right? Keep it on low/medium for however long it takes to get you hungry enough to say it's ready to eat. Could be a half-hour, could be half the night. Just be happy about your choice. I sometimes prefer to make more soup, so I add some apple juice.
It tastes...fine. Very satisfying. Believe I'll save the rest for tomorrow, though. It's another day.
Niggling doubts cause me to leap out of bed (no clatter) and tell you not to forget the walnuts! These add "crunch". Maybe a cupful of crumbled walnuts, OK? And if you insist, dried cranberries, but maybe next time, when you have some.

Sanctioned rampage philosopher-shooting is a rarity these days.
The czars and their court took a brief shine to it just before the decline and fall of the ruble and the rest.

Is this a set-up? Is it a stick-up? 'sup?

For neebee... here are those photos you asked about.
Winter has arrived. Freezing this morning here.
On my walk to the little store and to the bookstore, I stopped into the computer store. The Greeter.

Special Christmas Season Treat
The long version.
Poses the basically unanswerable question what is "min.." er ...
How high can you fly?
This probably can be answered. Who is playing that guitar lick
Vic Briggs or John Weider?
