Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones, Monkees On Tour, 1967

[serpentinesheldonserpentine]

How could anyone not love the Monkees? The best songs from the Brill Building as performed by the Marx Brothers.

Nes seemed the least lighthearted of the bunch, but he had an exciting post Monkees life racing motorcycles and trucks in Baja California off road competition. So, you never know.

Speaking of libraries

Our Library of Congress

I’ve relied on our Library of Congress for archival documents pertinent to my research and every interaction has been friendly and professional. Maybe it’s time to move our Presidential documents back to the care of these good people.

So, it’s not a library at all.

Unlike other Presidential Libraries administered by NARA, the Obama Presidential Library is the first fully digital Presidential library. An estimated 95 percent of the Presidential records of the Obama administration were born digital, such as photos, videos, word-processing documents, tweets, emails, and other standard digital formats. NARA also received approximately 30 million pages of unclassified paper Presidential records.

"I See A Boulder In A Park". Or, even the New York Times struggles to find nice things to say about President Obama's monument to himself.

The Obama Presidential Center has dropped on Chicago’s South Side. Its signature building is a blocky, granite-clad museum tower that the former president wanted to look like four upraised hands.

Maybe it’s me but I don’t see it.

Shelly may have been a dentist, but Arkin was a great actor.

You once posted a picture you took of my hometowns library. So I wonder were the other places are.

Hello, for the past five years the libraries were in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or New Hampshire.

Thanks for asking

Like your pictures but wish you'd add the towns info

You’re kind to write, thank you. The last time I added town names one of the kids reblogged and changed the name of the town to suit his narrative. I reminded him he was entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts and some… unpleasantness occurred.

If we know one another I post better pictures on the Instagram under my name and often name the location there. I leave town names off here because I enjoy the anonymity of Tumblr. Things can become a little stalkery around here.

Best wishes.
