Joe Strummer (the living one)

Yeah, 84 here. I'm screwed this fire season!

Man. It has been brutal here. Like 'dust bowl' brutal.

🤪

Thank you as always, my friend!

Just my .02 here, Sheena. Harrison Ford, Daryl Hannah, Sean Young, (and others) at the height of their acting (even though they were young) purely because the movie was so out of the ordinary. Grab some hot cocoa or a bottle of wine some day...

Hey, those are MY pictures you're using! 🤪

My dogs are jealous of your snow. We got zero!

I'm stumpin' for my BiL because he does some crazy good work.

You should see this art hanging on a wall!

Thanks so much, Anita!

"We'll get a table near the street"

For 1977, Billy Joel knocked it out of the park in the midst of punk uprising!

I should say that the part that isn't 'pure luck' is that we recognize that we should create a photo at that moment. I just happened to be hiking my dogs there when the scene unfolded.

Thanks, Alex. Pure luck on my part!

Thank you, my friend!

Thanks! One of those days with bright sun behind me and the dark clouds overhead. Couldn't have asked for more!

Excellent!

Madison Buffalo Jump.

The fastest indigenous runners would round up the bison and drive them off the cliff where waiting peoples (mostly women) below would kill and butcher the bison. No horses, no guns.

Happy Friday, y'all!

Thanks, Rich!

Park Slope isn't as bad as Williamsburg hipster-wise. My sister and her fam have been living there since the '70s (we're old). I stayed at a reasonable hotel. We spent the week walking and eating and catching up on all the minutiae.

That's Mr. Asshole to you! 🤪

Other than this being a lovely image, Jaycee, I was in Park SLope for about a week this past September. Such a nice neighborhood!

Yeah. You're not wrong. My goal is to outlive this regime and do what I can to see that outcome again. Did it in the '60s and '70s and I think I still have the energy for one more go around.

Wow! Excellent capture and amazing subject that I had no idea existed!

Beautiful set, Robert!

Yeah, I'm an east coast transplant where everything gets leveled and rebuilt every 50 years or so. When I moved to Montana about 16 years ago, I was (and still am) in awe of all these (relatively) ancient towns that were still standing!

You're too kind. I think that was my "imposter syndrome" speaking up!

So many of these "almost ghost towns" look identical. Started in the late 1800s as gold was found, mostly abandoned by the 1940s when the gold ran out, but somehow, the churches keep getting money to survie. I find it fascinating!

Thanks for putting this together, Robyn!

How bad are your supposed leaders that graffiti in other countries references them (correctly)? What a shitshow I live in!

Thanks so much, Janet! I got lucky with the time I happened to be there, and even more lucky that I recognized it was a click-worthy image!

Nope. But very close. They filmed in Great Falls, less than 200 miles away. This is Pony, Montana. And honestly, same era, same religious groups, and same architecture of the era so there are a lot of look-alikes.
