The sordid sea
Watches me
And knows my only
Wishing dream

Happy 14th birthday to Miss Brown! It’s kind of a big deal for a Boxer to live this long.

Upon a silver lake
Upon a wider sea
The same round moon above
Looks down on you and me.

The flower, the bird,
the brook, and the tree,
all in fancy witching dream
shone in the glimmering
moon’s pale beam

Lysol Ad

April 15, 2012February 27, 2016 Shelly

Lysol Ad
From True Experience, July 1934

I’ve seen various ads for Lysol, recommending it as a douche. I didn’t realize I actually owned one, though, so I thought I’d scan it and upload it to Flickr. Please file under “Things Not To Do.”‘

Rain

April 14, 2012February 27, 2016 Shelly

Rain
