Trash your Wedding Dress

I read somewhere that the latest fad is "trashing your wedding dress". After the wedding you wear your wedding dress to, say the beach(in the water), or a swamp, or a dump and have your photo taken. This bride chose a farm, she was photographed in a corn field, a stream, and even a cow barn. And yes, the gown was trashed, at least the hem area.

Real Typewriters

Portsmouth, NH - Yes kids, in case you never saw one these are typewriters...old school type. The one all the way to the right is from the 1930's!

I saw these in Hoyt's Office Products store window while walking down the street in Portsmouth, NH. On their business card it says they specialize in vintage typewriters. These are things that you do not see that often. I used these many years ago...no spellcheck and if you make a mistake get out that bottle of white out. TRIVIA ALERT: Did you know that Mike Nesmith of the band "The Monkees" mother invented White Out? Of course if you never used a typewriter you might not know who the Monkees are.

PHOTOS THAT STRUCK ME ODD

I just watched a movie about a photographer that took photos of odd people. So I was inspired to post two photos of odd things. Both of these photos were taken at the National Shrine of the Devine Mercy.


Drinking water? Are you supposed to drink out of the trough? Straight from the garden faucet? Mybe the hose? I just thought it kind of odd.



The first question I had was, why? Why would you have a Knights of Columbus garbage can? Is it special garbage?

RAMP GARAGE POEM

Portsmouth, NH – This poem is posted on the wall of a ramp garage which I thought a little strange, but culture is where you find it. On the bottom of the sign it says,”This is a favorite poem from Mrs. Potter’s 1998 – 1999 English class at Portsmouth High School. It is brought to you by Robert Dunn, Portsmouth’s Poet Laureate, and the Portsmouth Poet Laureate Program.
