Lieutenant (Junior Grade) John F. Kennedy, 1942. Before taking political office, JFK was known as a war hero for his actions in saving the crew of his ship PT-109, after it had been sank by the Japanese in WWII.

Vintage postcard of the historic One-Room Jailhouse of Straub County, Maryland, which for 52 years held but one prisoner - Martin Milius Travette, a quarrelous watchmaker’s assistant.

Using tiny watchmaker’s tools, Travette painstakingly and meticulously murdered Jeebo the Ecclesiastic Clown (of the Talbot Bros. Interfaith Circus), because he smiled at him funny, not realizing that Jeebo’s face was paralyzed and incapable of grinning, and that the sassy smile he wore had to be painted on every morning.

NOTE: The nattily dressed cowboy shooting the uniformed WW2-era British army radio operator has nothing to do with the celebrated Straub County Jailhouse, and is wonderfully at odds with the focus of the postcard.

- The Gruenwald Photo-Omnibus & Pokémon Go Free Zone is interested in acquiring this rare unbleached muslin postcard, and would appreciate anyone with it in their possession to please contact this blog.

A Second World War footage captured from another accompanying A-20 GUnfortunately, the plane in the background has not been determined.

Additional note: This is actually only a game named SimplePlanes, and I edited a shot I took with Paint.net.

While sorting through the stuff to be kept/binned/donated to charity shops I uncovered a box with Lesley's granddad's stuff from his time as a Military Police in Italy during WW2, including pics, ID cards, dogtags, and his report book which contains notes on such charges as one soldier "urinating in public on the guardhouse door" and a Private Capaldi brought up on drinking/smoking on duty... And now I really want to know if *that* Capaldi is Peter Capaldi's granddad...

Rampant nape for @vagabondtrousers who has been so helpful today teaching me about gif making.   Then, observe the small inhalation that lifts his whole body and fuels his expression.  Swoon right there.
