Serenade
From 1935 by the Calumet Music Company. Interesting that sheet music by Franz Schubert has advertisements for cowboy songs on the back cover.

That Wonderful Souvenir Strain : Fox Trot Song
When I was a teenager I loved going to record stores and thumbing through the LP albums just to enjoy the graphic design of the covers.
But before my time, there was commercial sheet music and I find myself enjoying the cover graphics of this music-related medium in much the same way.
This piece appears to have been published in 1922 or 1923, and is local!

During its heyday in the 1960s, The Trail's End was out in the country in the Tumwater area, hosting lots of horse and pony shows and events. Since we raised Shetland and New Forest ponies, this was a place we'd visit from time to time.
The place has been closed up and derelict for quite awhile, and residential sprawl has caught up to the surrounding area. Today it could serve as a nice location for a B-movie.

OK My Town Is Going Nuts Right Now
The Seahawks won and about half of the 1600 souls in my little town are honking horns, firing guns, lighting fireworks, yelling in the streets. The last time I saw this much public celebration around here was when Obama got Osama. It is really something to witness.
Well, good. Washington, my home, deserves to finally have some national win of any sort in the sports world. I am not a football fan, but I like the way this has generated a lift in morale for folks around here. Sort of like Christmas has been extended up here in our Far Left corner of the USA.

Fifteen Heart Attacks, p. 20-21, by Mike Hill!
The Fifteen Heart Attacks online jam lives on! One of my favorite ever cartoonists, Mike Hill, who lives in Western Pennsylvania (a part of the country I have learned to love), contributed the following. Thank you Mike for climbing aboard!
Morty Comix # 2691
Dreamer, Buster, and Hettie seem unconcerned as I toss in Morty Comix # 2691 as an extra bonus as part of an order I got this weekend for original art (from Storm Warnings) and a packet of vintage City Limits Gazette issues. The whole package is headed Back East.
