It was a very good paying job, $8/hour.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and when I had evenings off I worked as a folksinger in several coffee houses in Greenwich Village. With the Fair in progress, we made very good money from the tourists. Of course, we made it by passing a basket around the audience after each set.<BR/><BR/>All in all, it made for a very lucrative and fun year. Of course, not a penny was saved living a double life.<BR/><BR/>I hope you all see the clip and try to understand what a time it was. JFK had been killed less than a year before. And, the Fair, among other things, helped to heal some of the pain.<BR/><BR/>The war in Viet Nam was a minor story on the back pages of the New York Times.<BR/><BR/>Rick York - from the paleopast to the paleofutureRick Yorknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-7354914611438573082008-02-22T10:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T10:39:00.000-05:00What always gets me is the ubiquitous personal helicopter. The average American can't be trusted to drive (let alone keep up with preventive maintenance on) a car, let alone a machine as complicated to operate and maintain has a helicopter.<BR/><BR/>At least this illustration got one thing right: the annoying channel/network graphics that stay on the screen while the show is on.<BR/><BR/>Spoilsport alert: if you look closely the girl is wearing tan capris.<BR/><BR/>But, is anybody else creeped out by no-pants bathrobe grandpa hanging out with the kids?Arkonbeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11056581569235023216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-42377611612043663812008-02-22T09:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T09:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T09:39:00.000-05:00What's with futurism and giant fruit and veg in general? Other than a reduced surface area-to-volume ratio for things you peel, there's no gain and there's usually a loss of taste and/or texture. I'd rather have a couple small apples that some grapefruit-sized honker you can't even sink your teeth into because it's so big.Wutzkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-36325571265439181382008-02-22T08:36:00.000-05:002008-02-22T08:36:00.000-05:002008-02-22T08:36:00.000-05:00The guy on the phone will certainly get an eyeful if she moves that dress...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Just what is giant about that fruit?
