Throwback Thursday - My grandparent's tavern in Carnation, Wash., and teething on my Grandpa's hook arm
By Jack Brummet
Throwback Thursday: photographs of my grandparents' tavern in Carnation (the weird lines are due to the photo being trashed), in the early 50's, and one of me teething on my Grandpa Dell's hook arm in 1954. Interestingly, I also had another uncle with a wooden leg. You don't really see either hook arms, or wooden legs anymore. . .but growing up I thought it was perfectly normal.

Shakespeare quote of the day - Lord Berowne in Love's Labour's Lost
"Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise,
Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affectation,
Figures pedantical; these summer flies
Have blown me full of maggot ostentation:
I do forswear them."
--Lord Berowne from "Love's Labour's Lost" (Act V, sc. 2)
