Alright. Enough with the teasing. Go back seventeen years near the midway point of the year. I start there because the first Sunday in May is the 3rd for both 1992 and 2009. What started as a whim turned into a full year obsession of sorts. Scrambling to find the right image got harder as 1992 came to a close. Burnout. But as I look back they still make me smile.
This week’s focus is on the U.S. Postal Service’s efficiency, a UN maintenance worker tidying up and another attempt to keep Congress from raising their own salaries. Teddy is not pleased. If you have seen the classic movie included here, you know the script includes a political machine bent on destroying an opponent.
A frequent inclusion for this montage will be the obligatory celebrity obituary. Obscure news, like the ban on bungee jumping in Florida or the ban on water cannons in Boston, will also be included in this revue. Hope you enjoy this 52-week mystery tour.
So if you were born before 1975, maybe you can say, “Oh yeah…I remember that.” Or, “Dude! This is all pretty obscure.” if you were born in 1990.
