Blessed Are The Cheese-Makers...


 It took me a moment (or two) to realise what this barely-labelled slide was of.

It didn't help that it had a strange pink cast to it (from the indoor strip lighting??), and the scrawl "industrie laitiere" confirmed my thought. Milk curds. For cheese-making...or maybe that Canadian...ummm... delicacy Poutine?

Bonus - They're back.

Bonus - Nostalgic for Alta Vista?

Urban Planning 101

 

They gotta start somewhere.

Urban planners don't just arrive in an Amazon box, ready to go. You gotta train and teach them, and starting in school is a good way to begin.

The World Series of Snowball Fights 1975

 

No info on this slide, other than the date of 1975.

However, the presence of TV cameras from Japan (NHK), America (ABC) and the Canadian mounties makes it very easy to conclude that this is The World Series of Snowball Fights 1975.   The rioting after the event has wisely been forgotten by history.

Bonus - THE ELEPHANT WHO COULD BE A PERSON

The Colours of Autumn

 

Autumn, the time of mellow fruitfulness. Or something.

Lovely colour of foliage, and the fun of shuffling through fallen leaves.

But if you call it "Fall"... no,you are wrong.

Bonus - Ghost Fashion

Bonus 2 - Advertising done right.

Yup, Northern.

 Northern Telephone Company Ltd is the predecessors to NorthernTel, I believe. Based in Canada, so the snow is hardly surprising.

Bonus - Cyprus was going to host the first particle accelerator in the Middle East, but ministers chose to spend the money on hosting the Miss Universe pageant instead.
