Superbowl LVIII Hot Links

Job Opening (For an Experienced Heart Mender) Pts. 1 & 2, Del-Larks (1967) This 45 rpm record is one of the most sought after Northern Soul records in the U.K. The Del-Larks almost made The Ed Sullivan Show, but  according to group leader Sammy Campbell, “We were ghetto guys. We were talking that street language among ourselves and using a lot of profanity. The [Sullivan] director walked in the room and heard that profanity. He said ‘Ms Gregory, take them back and teach them some manners.’ I knew when they did that, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

The Colonel -1981 Eastern Kentucky University yearbook

In the 1920’s, Eastern students who wished to be known as something other than “The Maroons” voted for the Leopard as the school mascot. A plan to purchase a leopard from the Memphis, Tennessee zoo came to nothing and the students remained Maroons.

In 1963 President Robert Martin established the Colonel as the mascot, who continues in that capacity to the present day. The original Colonel design was by Louisville Courier-Journal editorial cartoonist Hugh Haynie.

What’s more inane than that? Masks for pictures of people on freeway billboards.

Still Life With Dove

Saw a young dove outside our garage late this afternoon. I think it knows how to fly, it just doesn’t seem to see the importance of it yet.

He/she didn’t seem too bothered by my presence, so I went back inside for my camera. Somehow it managed to make an arrangement of river rocks, a plastic colander and a rubber football in an inverted Rubbermaid trash can lid. I decided to take a pic from another angle, and when I downloaded it I found this:

I pity the cats that mess with this bird.
