Historical photos: Quite the height

Cited 

Taking a ride on the Snow King Chairlift in Jakson, Wyoming in 1965. 

When I saw this on Facebook, I was amazed at the height!

The Snow King Chairlift takes its riders up 1,571 feet to the summit of Snow King Mountain where you can see the Grand Tetons, an Elk Refuge and Jackson, Wyoming. Supposedly if you go on a perfect day you can even see Yellowstone.

History is good to know. To learn from the past and to see how things have changed and how things are still similar.

If you think that flying is lousy now, just imagine trying to ride on an airplane while a baby sleeps in a cradle hanging off of the overhead compartment.

Aside from the problem of overhead luggage, turbulence must have been an issue for the tot holding “sky cots.” We can’t imagine that the babies at all comfortable upon running the plane running into an air pocket.

It seems like an innovative idea and places a baby safely out of the way. but as a baby would often cry, I would reason placing the baby and family in seat away from most passengers is what often happens today. They are cute though, I would be willing to play the clown...

I am so massive (macho), I often ask for my own seat with leg room. And sometimes I am placed next to the babies. We relate...

This photo of a tree growing through a piano was taken on the campus of California State University in Monterey, California. While the main pieces of the piano were actually cut in half and then placed around the tree, the tree continued to grow through the piano.

Bizarre, but effective piece of art and nature...

My Mom tried to force me to learn piano for two years as a child. I just as well should have played the piano in the photo.

Drums would be my thing. My Mother, now with dementia, was a good Mom and Boss, but forcing your child to learn an instrument is wrong-headed. Listen to your child and guide appropriately to be involved in moral and ethical activities.

Ephesians 6: 4 New American Standard Bible

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

This photo from 110 years ago supports my preference of walking through high traffic urban areas, slower but steady.
