The Freddie II



Just a timely reminder that our new President Elect has promised to open up the Pacific coast to oil drilling.

Anyway, there's a processors stamp on the back that's very faded.  There are a lot of numbers around a date, "MAY 1930," "KODAK DEPT.," something about a drug store, though I can't make out the name of the store, and finally, "BELLINGHAM."  I assume that's the one in Washington.

This one really needs to be brought up in a bigger window for best view, so click away.

Twin Mysteries



This one's  a what type of boat is this post, and a where is it post.  Is it a fishing boat?  I have my doubts, because the captain is wearing a nice white shirt and a tie. I can't image handling fish all day and being well dressed.  The winch on the back is a sure sign that it's some sort of work boat, but what kind.  And then there are the concrete buildings and the column.  Surely someone out there in the web world has seen a captioned photo of these very distinct structures.  Perhaps they still exist.
