Re: Misc photographs

Home wine making and production of sacramental wines were still legal.
It was seen as one way to keep the vineyards and grape varieties from disappearing. 
John Parducci "escorted" trainloads of grapes from Mendocino County to the east coast for these purposes when he was a teenager.

Re: Misc photographs

I worked with an engineer who's Italian family was based in NYC.  Family funerals/wedding would have cops lined up on one side of the room and gangsters on the other. They had the kitchen in the cellar, men would piss in the coal bin(size of a room) everyone else had to get the key from grandma to go up and use the bathroom. The key came with a warning not to set one foot in the parlor or else. Grandpa would go to the market and get a ton of grapes, as much as he could get in the car, to make wine. I guess there was a pretty sizable market, and a whole lot of sacrament-ing going on too.

Not a color photograph...


Only the grid lines are colored but they're kind of cheating with bleedy lines.

Re: Misc photographs

that's messed up.

When I was putting small items in my kids stockings-- I placed an item in the stocking, and was shaking it to the bottom, then it "fell through" the stocking (??) and onto the counter. My mom saw the same thing I did. I was like, "Did I just invent sleight  of hand?"

Re: Misc photographs

Came across this not a photograph but a picture of Lime Rock Park. It's out in the boonies of CT which is where it should be, but the country roads to it have a tough time with race day traffic which annoyed the locals. An ad hoc civic group and the local church sued and won a permanent ban on Sunday racing, but part of the CT Supreme Court ruling was they could run unmuffled on Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday. Since it's the third oldest operating track in the country it was quietly placed in the national historic register which strengthens their position.


It's a beautiful location and that 1.5 miles goes by real fast.

Re: Misc photographs

unmuffled?  When there is no breeze blowing, they can hear it 15 miles away.

I could hear Oxford Plains Speedway from my backyard in Lewiston as a child and that was 15 miles.

Re: Misc photographs

Lots of hills and trees but I'm sure it carries. From Boeing Philly we could clearly hear the track  at Bridgeport over in Jersey, not just noise but the acceleration and deceleration as they went around the track.

How big is 5 acres?

This is a neat pic.  I have no reason to think it is not real, but I've written the author to ask:

Great Falls?

It looks very familiar; I thought I might even have a pic of the same spot, but I'm not sure.

Re: Misc photographs

Yes Sir, we have a winner.

I've seen this photograph of the 1927 Solvay conference at least a dozen times but could only pick out two of the people, so I was glad to find a copy with the names.


I understand Einstein said later they were a bunch of stuff shirts set in their ways... he was 48 at the time.

I don't think this is true, I think fighting style adapted to how people evolved, not the other way round...

After several emails with additional info with the very nice author of that EPOD, all I can say it is real (duh).
You can't ride your horse under it , however, since it is 11 feet long and 2 feet high. It is also about four feet wide, giving it additional support..
So the blocks are about foot cubes, making it easier to understand the physics that hold it up.
Its location has been somewhat guarded due to its vulnerability.
