A Funny Thing Happened While Perusing The Intratubes Yesterday

Yesterday I was looking at a free monthly newspaper called Marquette Monthly and saw in their gallery and museum guide that there is an air museum at K.I.Sawyer.  As I had been stationed at K.I.Sawyer when it was an Air Force base, I went to their website to check out what they had at their museum.  One of the pages they have at their site is a timeline for K.I.Sawyer with a history illustrated with photos.  One photo looked very familiar to me.  After looking at it for awhile, I realized it was one I had taken while at Dow AFB, ME.
This is the photo on the page for the timeline for K.I.Sawyer.
In the front row, second car to the right of the guy walking in the snow is my black '58 T-bird.
Here is the photo from my other blog. Kulkuri's Journeys and Wanderings.  There are only two other places this photo could be found, one is the photo itself in a photo album that is somewhere in our storage unit and the other place, other than my other blog, is on the hard drive of The Old Lady's confuser where I scanned it over three years ago so I could put it on my other blog.(Lots of others there!!)

I sent a message via their contact page to the K.I.Sawyer Heritage Air Museum asking why they had my photo taken at Dow AFB, ME on their K.I.Sawyer timeline.  This morning when I checked my e-mail there was a reply which said, "I don't know.  I'll check with the webmaster who puts the stuff up."

I did mention K.I.Sawyer in the post, but thought I was pretty clear about the photo being from Dow Airplane Patch.  It's just a scanned photo taken with an instamatic camera many years ago.  And I realize that once I put it up on the intratubes that it was fair game if someone wanted to steal it.  I just want them to be accurate and not use a photo from somewhere else as being a photo of K.I.Sawyer.

Two Years of Rants, Random Thoughts, Funny Stuff And Other Stupid Shit!!

Started this blog two years ago, and still haven't the foggiest where I'm going with it. I put up stuff that tickles my fancy (if it feels good, do it) or vent about stuff that pisses me off or has me scratching my ass(usually in the category of "How Fucking Stupid Are They"!!) or life in general.

The way it started was one day The Old Lady came home from work and said "Guess what?? I started a blog today. Work was so 'exciting' that I decided to try doing a blog." A couple weeks or so later(or maybe a couple of months) she showed me how to create a blog and when I found my lastname.blogspot was available, I immediately thought of the title for the blog, "Yooper In Crackerland" which describes my situation. Afterwards I came up with the thought of doing another blog to record some of my adventures going down the road as a wage-slave.


Over these two years I have been adding stuff to the blogs and sometimes removing stuff. I've learned how to do stuff like put up videos on the blog, but there is a ton of things I don't know how to do yet. One of the problems I have is I can't remember all the instructions on how to do shit if it isn't written down so I can follow it step by step. Sometimes I'll have a piece of paper with stuff written on it and The Old Lady will clean off her desk and throw it out. Like at one time I had a piece of paper with code on it for how to put a link in a comment and other codes for doing other stuff. It's been gone for a long time now and so I no longer can do those things.


I have no idea if any of my friends and relatives ever read my blogs. I know The Kid reads it, but that's the only one that I know for sure reads my blogs.

Addendum: This was supposed to be posted yesterday on the 26th. Thought I had it set up to automatically post on the 26th. This morning realized it hadn't worked.
