Saved For Later (Bits and Pieces)

This one is mostly for me, but feel free to follow along if you are so inclined. 

I've been saving some photos, downloads and random items on my laptop and phone that I thought I might post on social media at some point but never quite got around to it. Not wanting to flood my social media feed, or yours, I decided to gather up some things I have hanging out there and put them here. That way I won't lose track of something I may want to revisit later at some point. Sort of like the Memories page on Facebook. 

For instance, this picture I took recently at the Spearfish Fish Hatchery -

The glass and surrounding area are not being maintained during these winter months as much as during the summer tourist season. That is totally understandable. And it's also fine with me. I like the rough, dirty look. It just seems to fit this image taken during the mid-winter off season. It almost felt a little like I shouldn't have even been down there. 

This is a photo of my friend Cary, taken last Fall. I posted some others at the time, but not this one -

The is a Facebook group named The Peeling Paint Appreciation Society. 

I haven't joined yet, but I'm thinking about it.

 My friend Trish Benham turned me on to Jose Feliciano. She played this album for me one day when we were at her house listening to records. When I was able to save up the three or four dollars it cost I went right out and bought it. That was over fifty years ago. It's a little ragged these days, but I play it often and it stills sounds great.

                                        

                                        

I would like to do a photoshoot based on the styles featured in the movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood...especially the hippie looks -

I need to make a better effort at finding a couple of models that would fit the part. If you know anyone, let me know.

I'm falling behind on my reading. Non-fiction has been the theme lately. Next up is some good old science fiction. Specifically, Philip K. Dick. 

I've been waiting for then opportunity to post this meme as a clever response to a text or a comment on social media -

I keep forgetting I saved it, and have probably missed several opportunities, so I'll just put it here. And now I want to find some old Dragnet episodes to watch. 

Alrighty then, that just about catches me up. There's probably more I should write down, but I can't think of anything right now. And, like the song says, it seems like kicks keep getting harder to find.
