Two-foot flood cuts on the wall of my oldest kid’s basement bedroom.
Program cover: Workmen’s Circle 53rd Annual Picnic Sunday, June 30, 1968 At the Jewish Community Center 2020 Hermann Drive Houston, Texas [union bug] [event details written inside a circle of chain links.]
The bumper of a white car with an “I hate cyclists” sticker. There is also a Mizzou Tiger sticker.
A bad photoshop job of Adam Duritz's head (glasses, beard, dreads) on a snowman. Foreground: red wavy text with green outline: "Wishing a happy 'Long December' season to all the Counting Crows heads out there." Background: There's a light blue background with the lyrics to "Long December" in white.
Two young people (elementary and pre-kindergarten) on blue Cleary bikes ride on the side of a quiet residential street. The little one has on a dinosaur shirt and a bright orange helmet. The bigger one has a gray shirt and a dark teal helmet. There is no sidewalk, which was fine on this block. For other parts of the ride, separate facilities would have made things more comfortable for the older rider and allowed the younger rider to stay on his bike rather than having to get into my cargo bike for safety.
Blue skies with puffy clouds above a grassy field. A sign in the foreground reads “DANGER - high voltage lines overhead. No kite flying or similar activities.”
A white urban arrow front-load cargo bike parked in fromt of a big beige cardboard compressing machine or something at the mall. There’s a bumper sticker on the lower part of the bike frame that says “My other car is double parked at Pizza Tree.” Pizza Tree is a great takeout spot.
Screenshot of just “by discharge” from the chart description “largest rivers in the world by discharge.”
Man in lavender hat with embroidered Spinster logo. He has a pink Oxford underneath a plaid wool western shirt with blue and pink plaid. He’s kind of greasy and could use a shave but his hat rules.
A girl from the “Tammy Craps” sketch with text underneath: “Yeah. It’s a good way to decompress. Lighting one up.” The doll is out of focus in the foreground. I Think You Should Leave, season 2, episode 6.
Venture Bros. character Sally Impossible was based on Dr. Susan Storm-Richards, but only her skin could turn invisible. In this still you can see the muscles and stuff under her face.
Mole Man proposing to Squirrel Girl in front of two monsters: "Squirrel Girl ... will you be my Mole Ma'am?"
