Got this from the blessed Lauren Caglione, John and Helen's amazing daughter! It was greatly degraded, but my pal Joel Hruska used off the shelf AI to make it look a heck of a lot better! Thank you, Joel. An interview from 1990 pulled back from the brink. Thank you Lauren. By the way, it does cut off abruptly. I'm not exactly sure yet what show his is from. When I know, you will know! By the way, this bit at the front where John and I mime putting an appliance on an actor is one of my favorite moments of all time. We were comedy. I've never laughed harder!
The true story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots told by Jean Landis who was part of this elite group. Brave women pilots who, for the first time in the history of the United States, were recruited to volunteer their services in WWII by ferrying fighter planes, test flying new and repaired planes, and towing targets in the air for artillery practice. How the WASPs were formed, the incredible challenges they faced and the cause of their early demise.
Where has Doug been?! He's been underwater, that's where! You saw that work in progress Seaview I built a few weeks back? Well, I just had to take her out for a spin. Hope you get a kick out of it, I know I did!
The Seaview, from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, is another one of those timeless designs that just never gets old. I genuflect to Art Directors Jack Martin Smith, and Bill Creber, not to mention the awesome Lydecker Brothers and L.B. Abbott.
Pieces of Viking pottery with traces of cat and dog paws, seen at the Musée de Normandie in Caen Castle
“So back in the day pets already ruined their owner’s artwork.” - My sis who took the photo
“ruined”? made better
It’s very humanizing to imagine some poor potter in the past screaming “nnnnooooooo bad kitty” somewhere in Scandinavia
If it was ruined, the artisan wouldn’t have baked it.
That’s… that’s a delightful point you just made.
This person chose to bake and keep their cat’s artistic contribution.
i was in spain once and there was a building with a tile that had been laid down in roman times: it had a dog’s paw print. and the thing was that after the dog did that print, the wet tile was dried, and then fired, and then shipped, and then laid, and for two thousand years every person who encountered that tile thought ‘aw! paw print!’ and kept it. this vast agreement by thousands of people over all these centuries, in memory of a dog only one of us could have met.
i loved that tile.
