Happy Halloween!

Cat Photo

This photo made me laugh because it’s true.  When I was in elementary school in Los Angeles, we had do earthquake drills by diving under the desk and covering the back of our necks.  It looked a lot like this!

Researching Googie

No, that’s not the well-known search engine.  It’s an architectural style from Southern California (with a sister style of Tiki).  I researched for a chapter I was working on because I wanted to use a Jetson’s style restaurant I remembered going to.  I tried search for space-age architecture and came up with Googie.

Most of them are torn down now.  Just last year a large car dealership in Virgnia in the Googie style was demolished after the owner decided to sell.  The dealership was nicknamed the “spaceship” because it looked like one. 

Here’s a picture from Webshots of a Denny’s in Googie style.  Just click on the photo to view the larger size.

Dog Photo

This is what my father said when I wanted to put reindeer antlers or a sweater on our minpin.  Granted, the antlers would have been kind of cute, but the sweater was for a practical purpose–she had very short hair and always seemed cold!
