Postcard - Burlington, Vermont

"Greetings from Burlington, Vermont"

Probably originally created in the 1940s, but I suspect this one is a reproduction, which was sent to me in 1984. I lived in Burlington in 1979 where, among other jobs, I drove a taxicab. I fell in love with Vermont and hope to return there one day to visit.

The Sentence

"Do you have any idea how hard honest working people have to break their backs to earn the precious dollars out of which you so blindly con them?"

Clip of one of the more creative legal sentences, from Dear God.

Postcard - Vermont

"Sugaring in Vermont. Horses stand ready to pull the gathered sap back to the sugarhouse."

1970s.

Postcard - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Tabernacle Organ, Temple Square - Salt Lake City, Utah. The nationally acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir is home in Salt Lake City. Its weekly broadcasts from the Tabernacle on Temple Square is the oldest coast-to-coast program on the radio. The 375-member choir, formed 125 years ago, regularly tours the country. Public organ recitals are conducted on the great organ in the Tabernacle at noon (except on Sunday) and summer evenings at 7:30. The choir sings each Sunday morning in a performance that lasts 30 minutes beginning at 9:30. The public is also invited to the Choir rehearsals Thursday evenings at 7:30."

1970s is my guess. It was mailed to me in 1979.

Better Than Gold

From the Spokane Falls Review, Feb. 2, 1888

Postcard - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Temple Block, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Temple Block is a ten acre square, encompassed by a solid stone and adobe wall, 12 feet high and 3 feet thick, with large gates on each of the four sides. Within the walls are the Great 'Mormon' Temple, Tabernacle, Assembly Hall, Bureau of Information, Museum and the First House built in Utah."

Looks like 1920s.

Loneliness or Happiness

Postcard - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Eagle Gate, looking towards State Capitol. This structure originally holding double gates, formed part of the unique cobblestone wall around the property of Brigham Young. For several years it has been preserved as a land mark, having been reconstructed of cut stone. The Eagle, originally of carved wood, has been sheathed with copper, in order that it may withstand the elements. It has no special significance to the 'Mormons,' except that they are always glad to see the outspread and protecting wings of our noble bird of freedom. The Eagle Gate stands at the head of the longest straight street in the world."

1920s?

I have been living in this house for 19 years and this is the first time moles have shared my yard. Fortunately I am not a lawn freak. When these mounds were in the back alley my cats liked to dig into these little hills and poop in them. Hopefully this time-honored tradition will continue.

My yard is currently populated by raccoons and has also played host to other wild animals such as possums, cottontail rabbits, feral peacocks, and even a porcupine.

The James Abram Garfield Song

James Abram Garfield
Wasn't really such a very bad guy
He would've been a good US CEO
But he didn't get much time to try

A nut named Charlie Guiteau
Went to the Prez to see him
And shot him with an ivory-handled gun
'Cause he thought it would look good in a museum

It was the docs who killed Garfield
By probing under his epiderm
With unsanitized instruments
They didn't believe in such a thing as a germ
