"Beat up Depositor with Roll of Bills"--1909

From the Albuquerque Morning Journal, October 21, 1909, page 8:

"Washington, Oct. 20--Using a roll of bills as a weapon, Charles C. Glover, president of the Riggs National Bank, is charged with having attacked a depositor who called at the bank Monday.  The depositor, Emilio Jasselli, today brought suit for damages against Mr. Glover, asking $10,000 for the bodily and mental pain he suffered.  The cause for the trouble has not been made public."

a gift from guests

This is a sign that some recent guests found, bought and gave to us.  They hung it up on the wall and I saw it when I went in to clean their room the next day.  Before leaving, they gave it to us.

It's now hanging in our office.  We don't want to give our guests the wrong idea.  After all, since we own a bed & breakfast, WE make both the beds and the breakfast.

I’m having fun--come on along!

cool Cootie

Even a trip to Joanne's Fabrics can be an adventure.  I drove into the parking lot and parked right next to "Cootie."  Can you see them in the picture?  There are bugs of all kinds glued onto this car.

... and a large bug sculpture on the roof.

... very imaginatively painted with more bugs and a sun, complete with a bug hood ornament.  What doesn't show up well in the pictures are the silk flowers lining the dash, the window ledges, and the back window.  Just for that whimsical, happy look, you know.

You can do cool stuff when you're not worried about being "normal" and having your car look like everyone else's, but I'm guessing they don't take this through the car wash.
