That the Dust Bunny Queen is such a strong woman that she potty trains her dogs?

That's a Nash Rambler case anyone's curious.
ReplyDeleteThat is neither a Nash nor a Rambler. Based on the vent wing shape I would guess a Chevrolet, but would need more information to identify the year and model.
ReplyDeleteLet's invoke the mighty Haz to resolve the dispute before it gets out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that the car in the photograph is of American origin. The shape of the front quarter panel suggests that it was made in Europe.
ReplyDeleteLook at the building. It's brick from top to bottom. Not American style rectangular brick but a rounded brick with recessed grouting commonly found in northern Europe.
The ends of the overhang is scalloped. This is not done in America. The absence if rain gutters is also notable, as is the lack of fenestration.
My guess: Somewhere in the Alps.

ReplyDeleteMaybe that photo is more Allie than DBQ
In the picture there's a fender
ReplyDeleteOf our old Chervrolet
Or Pontiac
Our dad would know
Surely he could say
But dad is dead
And we grow old
It's true that time flies by
And in 40 years
The world has changed
As well as you and I
That dog doesn't look Swiss. The miss, well, who knows, and to the point of architecture, I have seen plenty of places that look like that here in the east. Have a couple in my yard right now. And I sure ain't neutral, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteActually, I was thinking that the photo couyld have been taken in the German, Austrian or Slovenian Alps.
ReplyDeleteThe dog looks like a German Short Hair Pointer.
Not that there's anything wrong with short hair. Or pointers.
ReplyDeleteLots of focus on everything except the woman.
ReplyDeleteWhat is she doing????
How does TY the Google-Eye find these pics????
What kind of entry yields this result??
Pooping woman?
Dotted Swiss Pooch?
Would any dog in DBQ's care be clear as to who was large and in charge? Yes, dogs respond to directness and are confused by mixed signals.
Well, the film was developed in a place that uses the letters "Mar" to indicate the name of a month. That's a useful, if not necessarily specific clue.
ReplyDeleteSince the photo is in black and white we don't know much more about the dog than the pattern we can see in the fur. Not saying it's a Cao de Fila de Sao Miguel or anything like that, but Ol' Troop, should he ever drift back by here might give us a hint by telling us where he found that picture.
Marz, with an umlaut, is German for March. I don't know how to do an umlaut on an iPad.

ReplyDeleteAw....no dogs for us at this time. Just a cat.
We would love to have a dog again, but the downsides are bigger than the upsides to pet ownership right now. No fencing on our property so a dog that would want to roam (which is most dogs) would have to be penned or restricted or kept indoors all the time. Too many other predators out there. So many people have lost dogs to lions and coyotes.
I hate to see a dog penned up or alone in the yard, chained to a post and looking longingly at the house where the rest of the pack is at. So mean.
We don't hunt anymore so more likely an indoor muttly type would be our style, but then that means multiple daily walking and outdoor time. Now in the summer that would be great. Yesterday it was 17 degrees with snow and ice on the ground. I'm getting lazy and set in my ways and not particularly interested in long walks in the snow.
Now a cat. You can just boot it outside without supervision. In fact most of the time the cat wants to be outside. Go away for several days and leave it in the house alone with a bowl of food, litter box and water. Try THAT with a dog.
Nope. No dog. But maybe someday.
When the Dumbplumber gets back from pulling a pump from a 300 ft well, I'll have him look at the car and see if he knows. He is a car savant.
I would never wear plaid like that. However that pose is a great way to strengthen up those glutes!!
Well, I can't imagine any photo developing lab in Germany omitting an umlaut - that would be most imprecise. So, Germany and any other German speaking countries are right out.
ReplyDeleteNext up, France. Wait, that's not on the list.
I am sticking with the good old U. S. of A.
Dumbplumber says
ReplyDeleteIgnore the thing on the front of the car that looks like a grill. It is part of a building in the background.
Probably no later than a 56 vehicle based on the nose and the chrome strip on the side. Has teardrop spotlight which was a custom option back then.
Maybe a Chrysler or Hudson Packard. Definitely not Ford or Chevy.
Thus sayeth The Dumbplumber.
It is likely a 55 or 56 Chrysler 300
ReplyDeleteDumbplumber....the car savant
You should hear him critique the cars at Hot August Nites.
Cannot disagree with his assessment. Chrysler product makes sense.
ReplyDeleteContinental Europeans rarely if ever wear plaids.
ReplyDeleteGermans would probably have shot the photo with AgFa chrome (or B&W) German made film and would have written the umlaut.
The weed tree growing right next to the house doesn't seem very European to me.
The photo is from one of my favorite websites called "Black and White and WTF" which specializes in old timey black and white photos and is where I steal a lot of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI just find funny photo's and think of something to say about them. That is basically the way I do everything. I find the photo first and then write the copy
