Tabernacle Tidbits

Hi.

I feel like adding a new blog post. As usual, it's some tidbits of this and that which I found interesting. I share them because I want to and because maybe we can have a conversation about them. Or maybe not. It's also cool if you just watch and listen. hey ho

  • First, some photos from Tibet very early when it was first discovered by the West. Before they had McDonalds and Starbucks lol. It really looks like a legendary fairy kingdom or something.
  • from the waste heap of science: T. Henry Moray, luckless inventor of the month
  • I'm 500 pages into 'Het Schervengericht' ('ostracism') by dutch author van der Heijden. He tells the story of a famous movie director who goes to Jail in '77 for touching too young a girl, where he meets the murderer of his wife. This meeting actually never happened, but the characters (you guessed it) are based on the real tragedy of the Tate Murders committed by the Manson Family. van der Heijden presents extraordinary fictional dialogues between Manson and the movie director (R. Polanski) and explores this fascinating watershed of the green counter culture of the Seventies. Helter Skelter! btw Polanski's latest movie was excellent too.
  • speaking of movies, it's never wrong to praise Hitchcock's masterpiece 'Vertigo'. Must see!
  • This month's Secret Conspiracy Feature: Alien Reptoids hiding secret messages in Heavy Metal music. Go check for yourself.
  • And finally, Madame Edith Piaf with 'Non je ne regrette rien'. Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Your tidbits...

...are always welcome in my 'puter, Christopher.  Can't speak for the 'puters of others.

And here are some old photos you might like.  They are rare color photos commisioned by Roosevelt's government as a documentary statement of the times of the late Great Depression and the beginning of the war.  There are other collections include that may also interest you, including color photos from Czarist Russia (yes!):
