Paul McCartney: Not Really A Fisherman

Humorous triptych from the excellent "1963-64 Eyes of the Storm" traveling exhibition, seen at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park

"Fishing didn't suit me, so I put this one straight back!"

Please excuse the mediocre image quality. The Pixel 6a camera usually produces really nice images, but these came out kind of weird. (Yes, we know it's a cop out to blame your tools for less than desirable results, but we're doing it anyway.)

Two More Postcards...With A Twist

The main goal of our recent postcard expedition was to bolster the TSG Vintage Hotel/Motel Collection. The basic criteria is "cards in good condition featuring street views, signage and/or interesting design elements". The back of the cards aren't really a consideration...at most there will be a quick look for a postmark date. So it came as a bit of a surprise when scanning the latest acquisitions to discover a pair from the same 1971 road trip. 

 Checking on street view it's nice to see the Highlander in Williams AZ is still in business. The Balboa in Denver (Aurora) is now the Carriage Motor Inn and doesn't seem to have fared so well. The latest imagery from November of '24 looks a little grim.
