Deckchair under Stress

 

Actually, a deckchair under Euphemia McGlumpher and he Grandkid "Alberta"

Not much more to add to that.

Bonus - 

Man on his deathbed

Motions his wife closer and whispers, “I want you to wait 6 months after I’m gone and then marry George”. 

Wife responds, “Marry George? I thought you hated George”! 

And, with his last breath, says, “I do”.

Transfixed by Television.

 

A historic moment here, from 1958.

Mrs Brenda Hitchcock, seems a working television for teh first time, and is utterly transfixed by the moving image on screen.

Bonus Thought :Hippos can swim and run faster than humans. What does this mean?

The bicycle is the only way to beat then in a triathlon.

Eternal Sunshine of the Damaged Mind

 

No info on this slide, but the colourful modernist chairs, and the relaxed casual fashions make me think 1950's Canada, Spring Fashions.

Any experts able to confirm?

Someone Likes Orange

A peak over the fence to see the full majesty of The Orange Cafe. Or that's what I assume it's called.

Bonus - Is an orange called an orange because it's orange, or is orange orange because of the orange?

Bonus 2 - An appreciative audience

Two American Kids.

For a change, the original photographer has added some comments to the slide "1954 Jan. Pat with Ken in l r chair, both smiling".

So, Hello Pat and Ken!    Where are you now, and what's your story?

Mildred's Bad Acid Trip

There was something wrong about that last blotter of acid. That's what she said, and as the room spins and fills with floating puppies (each with the face of a 19th Century Politician), Mildred grips the chair arms for all she is worth.
