A very special cup made from Portuguese stoneware, which came to me through the Merced Antiques Mall on Main. I saw it today and agreed that vintage 1939, even though "a little bit" chipped around the top rim is not an outrageous sum, and I baptized it with the Dancing Bull cab after a thorough couple of washings to get rid of residue.
It's a more stable vessel than my wine glasses. I can't see a thing through it, but it's a well drink now. It's been a real nice day in Merced, California, 1912. We allowed for the Azores here, too, Gypsy. My Fagundes in-laws I don't see much of lately. They have kids themselves now, Liz's nieces, and their brother's all grown. As they say in the Portuguese traditon, though, there are too many Silvas to keep track of.

This is another item I found in the Antiques Mall. In the meadow on the other side from the artist is a couple walking away, just about in line with BV Fall.
What's happened to the Tower, though?

OH, SANTA! It's cardinals holding the banner over old Snowpie!
You guys...
That's so Tiny Tim, zBrown. You the Master Card guy!

Here's my photshopped version with the Tower replaced by a retro-landmark. I thought about turning the image upside down, but clever photo manipulation is passe. Realism's the new fantasy.

These are shots of Liz and I and family, the honeymoon, and a night we'll always remember, her fortieth birthday. A biker gathering where tacos and beer were consumed in ridiculous amounts, the Dag Taco Party was an annual event commemorating an MMA (mod. mo. ass.) run to Mexico. Liz was the mgr. of MMA. "Big Liz."

Probably best to click to enlarge so you can see what Earth looks like at night.
Happy New Year's Day

Right on, Mrs. Mom.

FrrFreedom is a word I rarely use without thinkin', uh-huh...
It's also a technical application in the low-rider radar reading model A-replica sleigh Santa putts around in most of the time. It is freedom from air traffic control. He's a bit reckless, but likes what he does and works hard, so...
Gypsy, I hope you let Ariel read some, too. Don't go hogging both parts.

The same year the Circular Staircase went up on WF Sentinel.
Anybody ever try either The CS or The Bannister?
