(Don't know if this has been done before but) Movies so Traumatizing You Could Only Watch It Once.
1Midnight Express (1978): This hit me square between the eyes, as several years prior, in my early 20's, I was living alone working in a government capacity in South Korea and was frequently exposed to situations similar to those events that landed the young man in the movie in a Turkish...- Bugguy

Can't figure out what I'm seeing
I have no idea what is being towed on the interstate in Tennessee. I've seen a lot of odd devices - carnival rides, etc. - but I'm stumped. I thought maybe a dunk tank from a fair, but no top opening or chair. It appears to be an observation chamber of some type, but for what? Google images...- Bugguy

Well, we're in the midst of the AKC agility trials. Ruby had a rough winter and is not fully up to her A game. As she's temporarily apartment bound, training is a struggle. The link goes to her training regimen...- Bugguy

Some of my old electric fans
I posted this 1st time around - 11/2021. This is an 8" blade, 3-speed Emerson Trojan.(c. 1911). Its body, basket and blades are all brass. At one time it was shiny, but someone in my household preferred the dark patina. Nonetheless, I still have it and use it. I had it rewired and...- Bugguy

1971 Fiat Spider - Raced at SCCA Solo Slaloms at old Miller Park parking lot in Milwaukee, WI. I was non-competitive because I kept knocking cones over. I sold it when too many pieces started falling off due to rust. I bought it for $1.00 from a surgeon who needed it gone from under his...- Bugguy

After college I had an opportunity to spend several years living in South Korea. It was my gateway to Asia, so I traveled whenever I could. I took these pictures in ~1972 on a trip to Hong Kong and Macau. The fishing scene is Macau.. Hong Kong- Bugguy

I can't claim I took these pictures, They're from a Chicago Boys Club group in 1959 led by Charlie McCann, a naturalist with the Cook County Forest Preserve (Illinois). I can say, however, that these experiences left me with an appreciation for the outdoors and the environment that lasted my...- Bugguy

Civilian Conservation Corps Clothing Reference Site
I've always had an interest in the Wisconsin CCC. Growing up in the late 50's, we always pitched our large side-wall tents in the old CCC barracks area at Devils Lake State Park, Baraboo, WI. The buildings were deserted, but the legacy has remained for over 90 years. The stonework on the...- Bugguy

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
I don't know how I missed this thread, but it makes interesting reading. As it's a little picture light, I'll add this one. In another version, there's only a single saucer. Also, this year is the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden. My father landed there in a WACO glider. -

Well, the dog agility/speed/leaping season is starting off. Ruby (Kelpie'ish) and Willa (All America mutt) have been eating, sleeping and occasionally working out all winter. They had some spring tryouts and have both qualified in their classes. I don't know which is more difficult to have sit...- Bugguy

Show us YOUR Vintage Flask!
I wouldn't mind a small collection of very vintage sterling flasks to go with my napkin rings. I have a collection of one - not silver - so far. I suspect the covering is a faux reptile skin, but maybe not. The bottom is a tin cup for civilized drinking. It has a good metal threaded cover on a...- Bugguy

Loungers' Pets
We had her DNA checked... she's >80% Australian Kelpie - basically a cattle/herding dog. She started a tracking program and we'd have her herding if it wasn't so darn expensive to find a trainer with a herd of something, i.e. goats, sheep, geese, cats, etc. My weird daughter aspires for her to...- Bugguy

Resole Shoes
I like this thread. Over the years I've thought that learning shoe repair would be an essential skill for when the SHTF. It could be a skill set that could be bartered. I mean as a former hospital administrator, what can I bring to the table that has value to a community?- Bugguy

Thanks for resurrecting this thread... I hadn't seen it when I posted my Market Garden trip last week. Next year will be the 80th anniversary of the battle. -
Operation Market Garden
Rained every day in Amsterdam and Paris. However, the Market Garden battlefield trip to Groesbeek (at the German border) was clear, sunny, and windy.... almost too cold for a top down jeep ride. Here are a couple of pictures that show the actual field my father landed in, with the forest he... -
Operation Market Garden
Heading to Groesbeek (Netherlands) at the end of this week to tour the museum (Grateful Generation Tours) and the battle field where my father (82nd Airborne) landed in a glider. These guys have my fathers uniform, medals, etc.on display. I'll post some pictures when I get back.
