Last summer I bought a stack of old magazines at a local tag sale. I decided to scan the contents of whatever interested me and share. I will also include scans of some other stuff I have sitting around.
While perusing a Sergeant Rock comic from 1980 I came across this Hostess Twinkies ad featuring Batman and Professor Plutonium. Not remembering the Professor I looked him up online and could find no reference to him, so I figured he was created just for this ad campaign. At the same time the newest Spider-Man movie was ramping up. Some things never change, they just get updated.
The first time I heard this song the guitar riff reminded me immediately of the one played during “Great American Whale” by Lou Reed. They are not the same, but somewhat close, and both really help to make their respective songs pop. “Be By You” is a simple country song that conveys a deep love from one person for another. It also turned into an earworm for me for several days.
Be By You
Luke Combs
Kinda like an old Jon boat on some largemouth water Kinda like that breeze that blows through a sweet home holler I can’t leave your lovin’ alone Where you are is where I belong
I hope I ain’t comin’ on too strong Just wanna hold you close, baby Kinda looks like you do too I just wanna make love, wake up Next to you in no makeup, baby Nothin’ beats that view I guess what it comes down to Is I just wanna be by you
Love it when your fancy blues slide to the middle I’m stuck to you like glue on your hip like a pistol Wanna find me, you ain’t gotta look far There’s nothin’ that can pull us apart
I hope I ain’t comin’ on too strong Just wanna hold you close, baby Kinda looks like you do too I just wanna make love, wake up Next to you in no makeup, baby Nothin’ beats that view I guess what it comes down to Is I just wanna be by you
If the day ends in Y If the sun or the moon’s hangin’ up in the sky
I hope I ain’t comin’ on too strong Just wanna hold you close, baby Kinda looks like you do too I just wanna make love, wake up Next to you in no makeup, baby Nothin’ beats that view I guess what it comes down to Is I just wanna be by you

There have been countless people executed by almost countless methods, and this way seems to have been created to make a very vivid point to anyone who would witness this particular punishment, or even hear of it as a threat.
The little book “Chicken Soup With Rice” By Maurice Sendak is one of a set of four books collectively titled “Nutshell Library” published in 1962. I am going to scan my copy, that I received as a child, and publish a page a month. Why? Because the world needs more Maurice Sendak…and chicken soup with rice.
Once a month I highlight a piece of art I have created and posted on my Fine Art America site. This one is titled “1960’s DNA” from the Abstract Art Collection.
One of these photos is the unpacking of the head of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) and the other is of Elvis (The Pelvis) in the army. The resemblance is eerie, eh?
This is a simple series of photos that all include my dads Ford shortbed truck. When he passed away in 2024 the truck came to me, and I decided to snap some photos of it here and there with one of his cameras. This turned into a tribute of sorts to my dad, who loved photography and traveling, among many other things.

I wonder how many of the rigid roof-toppers made it to their destinations intact.
