Old Photo Weekend
This weekend's photo is of my dad's mother and older three brothers - taken before dad was born in 1928. The infamous Uncle Owen is the youngest in this photo.
Yesterday someone must've hung a sign on me that said "delay this woman". When I got to the bank to do one simple little transaction, the woman in front of me had several complicated transactions going. She had a thick Asian accent and the one teller on duty (this is a low-traffic bank) had difficulty understanding her. There seemed to be an infinite number of "one more thing"s with this woman. My transaction was so quick that I was out fast enough to have her interfere with me trying to drive outta there!
Then when I went to Dunkin' Donuts to get a coffee and a donut. There were three cars in the small parking lot messing up those trying to get to the drive-thru window or to park. It appeared that they were traveling together and didn't want to get more than five feet from each other.
Then when I got to the grocery store, there were more people trying to keep me from getting in and parking. And I wasn't even trying to get a good spot ... just to get in and park!

That's a great picture! Of course, Robert kinda looks younger than Owen to me.
Sounds like bad driving karma.
I agree with AP3. If you don't know the players (the way you, actonbell, ap3 and I do), you would think that your Uncle Bob was the youngest. SO, for the rest of you: The infamous Uncle Owen is top right. Of course Bob ended up being 5'4" and Owen must be 6'.
It is a great photo. I don't even remember it.
The whole, entire world is always in my way. Seems folks have not gotten the memo that the roads and stores are MINE.
Maybe it's you? Check your head for horns....
Great picture. Vexing a woman on the way in to Dunkin Donuts is just plain dumb.
on days like that, i try to take a step back and think to myself "maybe i'm supposed to just slow down a bit"... when i actually do this, i usually wind up enjoying myself. i always figure those kinds of stupid and/or annoying delays occur for some karmic reason, (or maybe it's just the universe's little way of messin' with me). of course, on days i *don't* do this, i'm mad as hell, and i don't care who knows it!
lovelovelove the picture! classic! xox neva
A lovely sepia toned picture.
I love the really old photos like this. I have a few of Dad and his family, but none from Mom's side. I'll have to ask her if I can have one for my album.
wow! Jean-Luc Picard just called this a "lovely sepia toned picture"... color me impressed! (of course, the color would be sepia, so the look of impression might be easily mistaken for the look of someone going "Jean-Luc Picard? doesn't that looks more like Patrick Stewart...?", but that's beside the point!) xox neva
This is such a lovely picture. I really want one like this.
