My good friend Will picked up these Apollo coins on a trip. The first image is the back of the coins (all identical on the back). I wish I had the complete set:
A few blocks from each other in Spring Hill, Fla, there are these two pre-historic monstrosities. First this lovely pose of yours truly near a ferocious (pink, though you cannot tell, obviously) creature via Polaroid:
and this lovely Dinosaur-shaped auto repair shop:
When were these taken? Ahh. The timelessness of the Polaroid Instant Print.. First, the Rocket Garden at KSC:
The Saturn I mockup:
These were taken in the fall of 2008.
The TWA Moonliner was designed by Wernher Von Braun, for Walt Disneys Rocket to the Moon attraction at Disneyland in California. Long gone, the TWA version was supplanted later by a McDonnell-Douglas version, and then completely removed in lieu of Mission To Mars. A replica version of the original TWA rocket resides both on the old TWA headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, and also as a half-sized relic (advertising Pizza) at Disneyland itself:
Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral have been obsessions of mine since I was I cant even remember.. Here is a postcard from the Ocean Grill in Vero Beach, Fla.:
and the Space Shuttle Endeavour launching in 2008 (from the NASA VIP viewing site):
and the ill-fated, yet, successful, Ares I-X launch 2009 (from A1A in Cape Canaveral):
If you think video games are over priced these days, think of this. Pac-Man for the Atari 2600, when introduced in 1982, cost $37.95 at JCPenney. According to to the CPI inflation calculator, this game would have cost $85.24 today (from the Evansville (Indiana) Press, March 12, 1982):
Tarpon Springs, Fla, is a firmly-entrenched community of Greek fisherman, specializing in sponge diving. The town is mostly a tourist destination, but the sponge boats still run:
After a hard day under the sea, why not relax in this Spartan little cocktail bar:
Perhaps a dinner of sausage and baklava?
And dont forget to take home your Florida fudge!
Of course you cant forget to scribble off a few lines to the friends and family back home:
