Subterranean Homesick Blues

Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success...

Rose Hill Cemetery

This is something I right-clicked a long time ago.  Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon at twilight.  Can't find the original source for the image.

Apollo 11

 Even those returning from the moon had to go through customs.

St. Francis Xavier

A Spanish Basque Jesuit priest, he preached to the first Japanese Christians.  He died at the age of forty-six off the China coast in 1552.  Ora pro nobis.


I grew up looking at this window and all the others at St. Joseph's Church in Macon, Georgia.  The church itself was completed in 1903.  The windows are by Franz Mayer of Munich. 

Legend has it that Vladmir Lenin was the model for the man in the right panel, having befriended the window's artist while in exile in Munich at the turn of the last century.  Local legend also has it that the Air Force Base in the neighboring (middle Georgia) town of Warner Robins was one of the top potential targets in case of nuclear war with the Soviet Union.  There is still a fallout shelter in the basement of the Church.

Alfred Abel

Known as the Lewis Stone of German Film, Alfred Abel once wanted to become a forest ranger.

Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (1922)

Guess what I watched on Netflix the other day.



Detective And Crook Stories

The Dragnet Magazine, Nov. 1928.  I love the art.
