I can’t wait to see how big he gets after the radiation mutates all of us! I’m going to make a saddle out of human remains and ride this guy into the sunset! I will feel like a child and it will be my fondest memory until my skin falls off...
Oh...wait...different end-of-world scenario.
Sorry.
Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -

My grandfather's Colorado Blue Spruce, being set in place in Rice Park for Christmas 2007. I was intended for the Rotunda of the State Capital, but was discovered to be too big to safely get inside....

1960s aerial of then-Friendship Airport by Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, on Flickr
Friendship International Airport (Now BWI/Thurgood Marshall) as I remember it best.
Spent many happy Sunday afternoons roaming around inside and out (one could do that in those long-ago days, even out onto the tarmac on the general aviation side) with my father. We lived about four miles from the airport terminal.1960s aerial of then-Friendship Airport by Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, on Flickr
Friendship had an outdoor observation deck -- the sights, sounds, and smells (jet fuel, baby!) of an airport, to me, is unforgettable.

No, just damage to the original image It does look kind of portentious, though, doesn't it?
This is actually a better representation of Friendship (BAL) as I remember it best (early 1970s), with some jetways already installed for the Big Boy airlines (TWA, United, American, Eastern, and - of course - Pan Am).

FatBoys Drive-in. Ive been going here for over 50 years & now with my family. It's right across from the old Brunswick Naval Air Station in Brunswick Maine. My mother & father use to go there in the 50 & 60's when they were dating. My father would show his old Ford & Chevy hot rods on Sock Hop night. It was fun. Many memories.

Orlando Florida. My Dad did the interior finish sometime in the late 50's or early 60's. I was back a few years ago and the interior was the same, except maybe a few more layers of grease on the walls. They closed the restaurant a year or two ago and went to just a food truck."Don't forget to change your politician.

This is east Carlsbad CA in the very early 70's right behind our house. When the farmers were done they would pull the stakes then it was a free for all. My mom would can a ton of it last for 6 months.
Behind is Lake Calaveras and the cliff. We would fish in the lake for bluegill, swim in it when it was hot. The cliff was our shooting range. A mile behind the cliff was Carlsbad raceway. It was a fun hike to go see the motocross or drag races.
I'm the kid on the right in white t-shirtWhen I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.
