From 50 Behind-the-Scenes Photos of Our Favorite Movies from the 1960s by Naomi Tamura, msm.com. Vincent Price reads to Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre on the set of The Comedy of Terrors (1963):

Another entry from the above article. A touching shot of Marilyn Monroe and Eli Wallach Behind the Scenes of The Misfits (1961). I love MM. So many of her pics show her enjoying herself. The mystery of her demise plagues me:

I was blown away by the following youtube video. From 40 Celebrities Who Look Exactly Like People From History! Posted by Time Flies: Jlaw is 35, ZT 76:

Another, Petr Dinklage & Diego Velazquez’ portrait of Sebastian de Morra, titled, appropriately, The Dwarf:

Headline from newsmax.com: “Blaine Holt to Newsmax: No Need to Bomb Iran; Let It Destroy Itself From Within.” Most of the world would like to see that happen, but it’s been desired and predicted for so long that it seems forlorn hope… And a headline from foxnews.com: “Trump slams ‘vicious’ Iranian regime as currency collapse fuels nationwide protests.” Unless the Republican Guard revolts, I don’t see how the people can win.

A story idea has come to me. I’ve banged out a page-and-half so far. It has allowed me to incorporate three amusing, brief incidents from my life, and revolves around playing guitar along the Sheepshead Bay promenade. I doubt I will come up with enough stories to fill a book, so I’ll just post it here when it’s ready.

I wasn’t expecting to do the Anti-Inflation Book Shop today, as the forecast was for not only strong wind but clouds. The weatherman was three-quarters right. There was enough sunshine to sustain me for an hour-long session at my alternate site on East 15th, where the brunt was blocked for the most part. My thanks to the young cutie who bought a paperback in Russian and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.
