A bit of Americana

Post by Faulkner »

Dick Koch circulated an email about life in Fifties America that contained this picture. Dick made an interesting observation; do you see it too?

Maybe Irene offers the bun and condiments if the customer brings his own bugger.

Don't forget the local weatherman said it would be "Clear and Sunny Today" in the picture and it wasn't!

Darn Occluded fronts can't make up it's mind! Either be a Low pressure or a High Pressure Mass but not somewhere in between! :ugeek:

Ohhhh Pretty cars are in the picture too! :o
