Today the San Diego Padres are facing off in game one of a three game series with the Saint Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball game. I went down to Petco Park to partake in the festivities. Here are some of the photos from my experience. Spoiler alert: The Padres beat the Cardinals 4-1 tonight. It was an entertaining game to watch in quite the venue.
Today I was driving through Ocean Beach in San Diego, California and I saw a hippie van with a couple of hippies inside of it. I thought it was interesting enough to take a photo of. I can’t read everything, but I think the front of the van reads, “Feel the sun. Love the moon.”
What the heck is happening in the super markets in California? I was in the super market and I came across a beverage called “Leninade” and their slogan is “Get hammered and sickled.” How the heck did something like this make its way into super markets in the United States? What kind of self-loathing, democratic, pigs would think it’s a good idea to sell this communist crap here? It just sickens me. What will I see next a nice “KGB” hand held radio?
I was at the Sea Life Aquarium and I saw this sign. The way the sign shows a finger pointing at a fish with a line through it and then the outside fish has a sad face, it looks like the sign is saying, “Don’t point at the fish. It hurts their self esteem.” Maybe it’s saying, “Don’t point finger guns at the fish.” Finger guns must make fish sad. I find that to be funny.
One of the attractions as part of Legoland in Carlsbad, California is the Sea Life Aquarium. Here are some of the photos I took while I was there.
Enjoyed a nice spring day at Legoland in Carlsbad, California. Here are photos from my experience.
Here’s some more great old historical photo‘s. The photo descriptions are below the photos.
Here is the way they parked cars in NYC during the 1930’s.
Righting the overturned hull of USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, 19 March 1943.
A worker helping to build the Empire State Building in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression era. No safety equipment used here and very dangerous work.
In the Paluxy River, in Glen Rose, Texas, they found human and dinosaur footprints in the clay.
This is what NYC looked like in the late 1800’s. A busy place. I wonder who had the jobof picking up all the road apples from the horses?
The USS Ranger….the first Aircraft Carrier. Just look at the Bi-Planes!
A Normandy Beach landing photo they don’t show in textbooks – Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops, WWII.
Library hidden in a cave, a unique repository of ancient manuscripts known as the Library Cave. A hidden cache of 50,000 books and rolls dating from ca 500 1002 AD that were deemed heretical and hidden in the cavesince the early 11th Century.
“Second Class Saloon” The saloon that Wyatt Earp and his wife owned in Nome, Alaska between 1887-1901.
It took big cajones to be a steel worker during this period, when they weren’t required to use any safety lines.
This crew was working on the Woolworth Bldg, NYC, in 1926.
Atlanta in the Civil War before Gen. Sherman burned the city to the ground.
New Orleans circa 1906. “Italian headquarters, Madison Street.” The streets were still dirt!
Actress Jane Fonda sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during her 1972 visit to the country, as a protest against the Vietnam War. POW’s handed her pieces of paper with social security numbers on it, she gave the list to the Vietnamese, the soldiers were executed later that same day!
On July 10, 1913, Death Valley, California hits 134 °F (~56.7 °C), the highest temperature ever recorded in the United States. You remember “20 mule team Borax?”
A cool photo of the Eiffel Tower, Paris in 1928.
Baptism in the river. From “Appalachian Life” photographic study.
Child soldier – in desperation the Nazi’s used many of these children often as fodder for front line diversionary actions. These children didn’t have a chance.
This photo, taken at the end of the war shows a young boy terrified by the sounds of battle. He even wet his pants! You can see he is being told to toughen up!
No other family in American history has suffered a wartime loss like that of Waterloo’s Sullivan family. The Sullivans gave up their five sons in a World War II tragedy that has never been forgotten. They all were serving on the same ship that was sunk. The Navy changed its policy after that tragedy about next of kin serving on the same ship.
lleta Sullivan reads a letter from the U.S. Navy. She received two letters from F.D.R. in February of 1943. The first informed her of the death of her five sons in the line of duty, the second, sent later, requested her presence at the christening of the destroyer U.S.S. Sullivans named in their honor. Can you even start to imagine the grief this poor lady had?
Only in California will you see signs to call meetings with hippies. This photo was taken at Ocean Beach in San Diego, California in front of the library.
These photos of life in the US at the beginning of the 20th century are truly a walk back in time. The first photo below looks the same today and many of you have entered it on the way to NY. The third photo shows how trolley cars were air conditioned in the summer. The clarity of these photos is truly phenomenal. (photo descriptions below each photo)

大ファンという訳ではないし詳しくもないのですが、
なぜかアカデミー授賞式前夜に2年連続で訪れてしまったハリウッド。
折角なので写真を撮ってきました。授賞式準備のためにスタッフが働いていました。
去年よりあまり飾り付けされていない印象です。相変わらず人は沢山いました。
Maybe Jimmy Kimmel would talk about the oscars later. Maybe Matt Damon will actually get on the show tonight. Good luck Matt!
The El Capitan Theatre looks like it’s nice.
The Dolby Theatre right in the middle of the oscars.
I’m pretty sure the El Capitan is full because of the oscars.
There’s the Hard Rock Cafe near the oscars.
Hey look it’s the oscars 2016!
