Love your icon. Dustin is soooooo cute!!

I totally agree! Who could be uncharmed by him? He's even charming in impatience and frustration, which are hard states to be charming in.

Exactly. I think it's his face and smile :)

A drawing of a restaurant interior--you're ascending to new heights.

And, as an aside, I've now seen season 2 of Stranger Things, which is as far as the library can take me.

They should be getting Season 3 soon--- it's out on DVD now.

This card's actually a colorized photograph, believe it or not. It's just that the photo printing technique sucked in those years, and the colorizing wasn't exactly great shakes either. Early postcard-heyday cards were often printed in Germany, with better techniques that what tended to happen after WWI got going (and we didn't have that friendly business relationship any more).

I like that the backs of the bar chairs are life preservers.

Here's the place on a 1950s card:

Gimmicks sure are fun. It's a shame how they are dismissed as gimmicks.

I was all set to be disappointed by season 2, and I wasn't. Kind of disappointed by not being disappointed. Er, or something. I appreciate that they actually closed up the storyline well enough that if it weren't for the 30 second teaser at the end, you'd be satisfied with the ending.
