Turns out that the car is a 1955 Mercury with bench seat and optional seat belt. Apparently the roll bar was an option too. Where the foto derived from initially I do not know, but it did make it to the Archive Project.
More hats and legs
More archive project
Butch & Sundance I'm pretty sure

Some ankle damage that driver suffers , i would recommend cooking with Turmeric and some special honey as well as a diet heavily influenced by Indian food. It looks severe...

Not my pix, Henry Coe State park San jose' . . . The caption would read if I get to it that it is a 24 mile hike or bike. (not clear if that is one way or round trip)

The Ballad of Billy Bominalong
Walking down the street was Billy Bombinalong
who had a head full of visions about Miss Suzy Wong
a virgin according to the Chinese tong
He muttered in his beard in a mild sing-song
all buzzed on some tea we know as "Dan Cong" *
a very high grade of Guangdong oolong
The time was pretty close to Evensong
and he heard the sounds of a gamelan gong
not too distant maybe one furlong
From the other way came walking along
the famous dwarf ape they call Little King Kong
strolling with the character actor named James Hong
They were trying to sing an old love song
but the ape got tripped up by a tough diphthong
that came out like some kind of raucous birdsong
He was reminded of the time he met Erica Jong
whose zipless f*#k needed something one foot long
maybe like the one on old John Long :0)
Then he stopped to see the gang at the Cafe Hussong
who were celebrating new years with a crowd of Hmong
and they were eating what was left of a roadkill dugong
He didn’t stop though and kept going along
because he felt he didn’t really belong
so he took out his cell to call Kaholatingtong
Hello there, son, he said in a voice of sing-song
have you decided to buy this 4 inch bong-bong
or are you gonna just keep trying to string me along?
No sir not at all and don’t get me wrong
I wanted it but then I’m headstrong
Just give me more time, it won’t be overlong
How about we meet up for some games of Mah Jong
or maybe we could play some of that Donkey Kong
or some other competition like maybe ping pong?
Oh that might be cool like a sesh of quigong
I know a devotee who calls himself Fong
He wears no top but has a sarong
Sometimes he’ll dress in a blue bikini thong
like some soldier of the Viet Cong
and he’s willing to work for a Hostess Ding Dong
Billy hung up after saying “So Long”
and stuck his right eye with an antelope prong
and he proceeded with singing his swan song
The tune was one by the virtuoso Lang Lang
and was neither too short nor was it too long
and involved several forms of a Chinese triphthong
He passed into the state known as b’donkadonkdong
And he assumed a shape like a short oblong
And was reborn to the tune of a cradle song
--Ching & Chong
* Dan Cong is the champagne of Oolongs and the higher grades can fetch fantastic prices.
Picked from old trees grown around the town of Chao Zhou in Guangdong,
it produces a rich, orange-brown liquor that can explode on the palate
with intense flavors of apricot and honey
Sometimes I feel
like a DMT
or a PBR
or a PBJ, even.

I got one about the slick, flat river rock that felled the Philistine Giant Orange down in Bakersfield.
Talkin' 'bout a story FIVE FEET LONG.
But maybe later when the kids have gone to bed.
Happenings hereabouts...

Oh, happy days!
The fearless leader Mouse is back!
Very good to see you here Mouse, so happy you are home and hope things are going well.
You were missed.
Keep healing and getting better.
Glad to hear—and see!—the report on the physical condition.
Congratulations.
I hope you will let us know if you need anything.
Besides decaf, I mean.
20F here right now, maybe more snow tonight, because the drifts are not high enough for whoever is plowing the snow.
I hope it is warmer and nice there.
Happy to see you back here.

For Sarel Petrus.
Rocky X
Kicked along the trail like an empty can
Waiting at the bottom of Fern Spring
Free falling at 9.8 m/s/s
Kept safe in a glass case in a museum
Half-exposed on a baking desert
Washed by the waves of an arctic beach
Tripping up a clumsy hiker
Embedded in the skull of a biblical giant
Used as ballast in a sailing vessel
Thrown through a window of an abandoned building
Set into a lover's ring
Older than most of Nature
--Al Catrazzo
