I actually took these pictures at a Christmas parade but the image of those people, walking in the cold rain and carrying that flag, has always stayed with me.

I took this picture while I was out walking around the neighborhood. I just like the way it turned out. It feels both hidden and optimistic at the same time.

This bridge has belonged to Bubba for as long as I can remember.

Getting a picture of this little one is never easy. He may snarl and his eyes may glow but he’s very shy and does his best to not cause any trouble.

I took this one at the Dallas Arboretum. There were other people around but I managed to keep them out of the picture.

I took this picture on the SMU campus.
Smashing Detective Stories was a pulp detective magazine that ran from 1951 to 1956. It featured the the usual crime-smashing stories of detectives and criminals but what was really smashing about Smashing Detective Stories were the covers. The covers were about as pulpy as you can get!
Below is a sampling of the covers of Smashing Detective Stories. For all but one of them, the artist is unknown. The cover for the September, 1954 issue has been attributed to Norman Saunders and it would not surprise me if he was responsible for at least some of the others as well.
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the Peanuts gang never did a special about Labor Day. I’m sure that if they had, it would have been the only special that we would have ever needed to understand this holiday. It would have been a September perennial, as important to the year as It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Unfortunately, we never got It’s The Labor Beagle, Charlie Brown and Linus never got to explain the turn meaning of Labor Day.
Instead, the ultimate Labor Day scene comes from one of my favorite movies, Office Space. If you’ve ever worked in an office, you can relate to this scene.
Happy Labor Day!
