From Television City in Hollywood!


In July 1976 a friend of mine and I took a road trip to Los Angeles and throughout California. That's a young thin me on the hood of my
1974 Javelin at Television City in Hollywood.

King Leo's Hamburgers



Do you remember the hamburger chain King Leo's?

Here's a couple of photos from 1974 of one of the stores. I think they all closed down in the mid 1970's. Too bad. The burgers were 15¢ at the time of opening in the late 1960's. We had several hamburger chains in town. McDonald's, Burger King, Hardee's, Henry's Hamburgers, King Leo's, Sandy's, Wendy's. I'm pretty sure I have some pics of Henry's Hamburgers sitting around. When I find them I'll scan them and post.

It's just Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's, Culver's that remain.

Here's something interesting


I ran across this surfing the internet the other day. It got me to think what the next 30 years will bring.


I'm a Trillionaire!




Bought this off ebay last week for $1. It's a 100,000,000,000,000 (did I put in enough zeroes?) bill from Zimbabwe when they had their runaway inflation last year. It's a novelty and fun to have for a coin / current collector line me.

A couple of Iowa County Courthouses

Johnson County courthouse in Iowa City, Iowa. Summer 2003

Jackson County courthouse in Maquoketa, Iowa. Summer 2003


I love county courthouses!

I think I'll post my county courthouse photos. I have hundreds of pics of county courthouses that I took myself from 1997-current in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota & Wisconsin and maybe a few more here and there. I used to travel around a lot so it's time to share them with other County Courthouse fans.

I'll get to those tonight.

My first entry


Okay, here I start with my corner of the world. I have so much to say I don't even know where to start. Knowing me I probably don't keep up with this but I'll give it a shot.

Don't even know what this is going to be about. Feel the need to write about my own life for posterity.

Let the blogging begin.

Thought I would start with a pic of a Bentley. I love those cars. Rolling works of art.
