An Ottoman Supply Abandoned in the Desert
T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, was a fascinating personality to emerge from the early 1900s. Lawrence’s extensive understanding of tactics served him well throughout his years spent working with his people.

He helped them in methodically taking down Turkish advances. He and his forces focused their efforts on Turkey’s Hejaz Railway in order to prevent food and supplies from being sent across the region. All the trains that Lawrence and his crew took over are still sitting in the middle of the desert.

Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy
During the decade that Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy were married, they had to deal with various challenges from politics to affairs. Although JFK’s most well-known side relationship was with the blonde beauty, Marilyn Monroe, she was just one of many women.

However, while Jackie was allegedly informed about these transgressions, she did not approach them in a confrontational manner. Instead, she was certain that he would always come back to her side at the end of it all.

 

Motive for assassination?

 

No that was some nutter.

 

Costumed Entertainers Riding Horses in a 1920s Halloween Event
In the 1920s, people dressed up for Halloween in elaborate costumes, much as they do now. They even dressed up their horses. As eerie as these figures seem, it’s likely that they were part of a parade or perhaps a carnival, so there’s nothing particularly eerie about them.

That being said, if these costumed skeletons were just riding about in their full regalia in the middle of the night, that would be a whole other story altogether. Is it appropriate to bring this style back? This may be the perfect costume if you have horses at your disposal.

 

I'll be taking my award then.​

 

I never thought I would see Halloween costumes from that period. We should revisit this at Halloween. See if we can dig up more.

 

The Ridiculously Cheap Gas Prices of 1939
Imagine pulling up to the petrol station and using some spare coins on the counter to fill up your entire tank. That was how life was in 1939. Obviously, due to inflation, that’s not how things play out now. In 1939, 16 cents was equivalent to $3.10 in current money, which is still reasonable, particularly if you live in an area where gasoline consumes a significant portion of your income.

As inflation continued to rise throughout the twentieth century, gas prices increased dramatically. By the 1970s, Americans were having difficulty not using gas in their daily lives, something that must have been difficult to comprehend for this gas station employee back in the 1930s.

 

I never thought I would see cheap gas prices upon terra. We should revisit this in the year 3333. See if we can dig up more.

Marilyn Monroe Entertaining Thousands of Soldiers (1954)
Following her marriage to New York Yankees baseball player, Joe DiMaggio in California in January 1954, Marilyn Monroe and her new husband headed to Japan for their honeymoon. While there, DiMaggio had to attend some baseball clinics, and while doing so, he had to take a commercial flight to Korea. Monroe used this time to amuse the U.S. personnel stationed there.

After Monroe’s solo journey, she had more confidence in herself. After she had all that experience traveling by herself, she felt successful. Due to the 10 performances, she did in four days, she was convinced that she overcame her stage trouble and felt like she could do it all.

 

Amen!

That should keep the voices in his head at bay...lol..
