And of course I'll need a contractor for that dream house...

Another dream house

While a far cry from the sleek modernistic style of the Jupiter 2, I fell in love with Queen Anne architecture at a very early age.  Upon seeing a specimen such as this I immediately start planning formal gardens around it

Given enough money and the right garden helpersI think we could bring it back form it's current state.

Formative Influence

While making catty comments about another lifter's gym shorts yesterday morning, I offered the possibility that they may have been ordered from "International Male".  met by an inquisitive look by one of the trainers, my workout partner and I I tried to explain the importance of said publication on young men of a certain persuasion.  He was very amused. Sadly it's no longer in existence, and I shudder to think of what refugees from Lord know what war or natural disater are wearing all the unsold clothing.

Does anyone else of my generation remember this pre-Internet-gateway-drug-to-gay-porn?  Or anyone ever actually ordered any of the clothing?

70 Years Ago Tonight

The Cocoanut Grove was Boston's premier nightclub during the post-Prohibition 1930s and 1940s. On November 28, 1942, this club was the scene of the deadliest nightclub fire in US history, killing 492 people (which was 32 more than the building's authorized capacity) and injuring hundreds more. It was also the second-worst single-building fire in American history; only the 1903 Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago had a higher death toll, of 602.
The enormity of the tragedy shocked the nation and briefly replaced the events of World War II in newspaper headlines. In both fires, most of those who lost their lives would have survived had the existing safety codes been fully enforced. The tragedy led to a reform of safety standards and codes across the country, and major changes in the treatment and rehabilitation of burn victims.
