Website Wednesday
Once again, I'm starting WW late in the morning (for me) so let's get started:
(Note: with the peripatetic nature of my life lately, I haven't been checking if I have recommended these web sites before. Sorry about that. But I do think, all my picks are new pages.)
I thought these picture/memes were funny. Then click on "Articles" for some more interesting stuff.
Rocket News ("Bringing you yesterday's news from Japan and Asia, today." - Now that's a logo.) has an interesting article on parenting styles around the world. Take a look.
Elena Shumilova's touching photos of her children in Russia are all over the web right now and they should be. She's a great photographer and her kids and their animal friends really know how to make the shot:
And as a knitter, I have to say: Take a look at the cabled knit hat. Did Elena knit it? Wow!
OK, here's a jigsaw puzzle for you:
Nice lunch time fun. Suitable for the office.
And finally, vintage photos:
Click on the heading for each for more photos. And be sure to scroll way down for the photo of JFK and civil rights leaders in 1963
What makes this photo interesting? In the back on the right is a very partial shot of LBJ (recognized by his height.) During JFK's term, he tolerated his VP, LBJ, while his brother, Robert, his Attorney General, humiliated the VP whenever he could. It was probably politically necessary for LBJ to appear with the civil rights leaders but it's very likely that the White House photographer knew a "bad " shot of him would be appreciated. The irony of course is that it was LBJ, not JFK, who was able to muscle the Civil Rights Act of 1965 through Congress. Whether JFK could have done this/would have done this will never to known.
That's it. Waiting for the hospice nurse. See you next week.
