all lives

I almost talked myself out of posting this. It’s uncomfortable to look at and even worse to think about. (Plus the spelling errors…)

But of course I realized those are reasons TO post it, so here it is.

(I did find out a few details about this situation and they are pretty much what you’d expect them to be.)

magic city

Somebody wrote “Magic City” on the back of this image and that is absolutely all I know about it.

I imagine those clouds are dust and not rain. And that those buildings are some kind of farmworker housing.

But all the real details shall be always a mystery.

cousins, the day we got in trouble

I’ve been looking through a stack of old family photos lately, and that’s how I found this gem.

That’s me on the left, with my two cousins and my sister. I don’t know what we were in trouble for having done, but I look AT LEAST 100% guilty the way I’m not making eye contact and am sort of slumped down in an effort to (maybe) disappear.

And let’s not even get me started on whatever the hell was going on with my bangs…

At this point, those iconic Cadillacs are more spray paint than car. In case you were wondering.

workplace safety in the 1950s

My dad was an engineer at Phillips Petroleum and evidently took his camera to work with him.

Check out the workplace safety provisions that were in use in the 1950s!
