For those of us of a certain age, there is a tendency to wonder why modern parents name their kids things like Dakota, Topanga, Madison, and a whole host of other semi-unique names. I mean, what's wrong with Johnny, Cathy, or Bobby? And then, I see an old postcard, and I realize there is nothing new under the sun. This card was mailed to "Mr. Bowdoin Horn, Stillwater, Maine." Bowdoin Horn is such a great name. It belongs in a Sherlock Holmes story. Mr. Bowdoin Horn, caught robbing the Bank of England, blackmailing the Queen, stealing the crown jewels.
Postmarked, "MILO ME., OCT 18, 1909, 12 AM" And the message, "Milo, Me., Oct. the 17, 1909, This is what we've got up in Milo but don't let it make you leave home from your friends. Fred Ree, Milo, Me."
Click on flirtation and all that.
