Day Two

Can I keep the blog going? In a desperate search for material, I reviewed my photo files--The Archives!

Mostly shots of my kid. And salvaged plumbing.

Ok, there were a few others. A mailbox in Pasadena, likely original to a house built in 1915. What a stunner!






A bathroom for pre-school age children, with an ingenous linoleum wainscot.

Which brings me to one of my peeves, bathroom design for persons under 40" tall. All your public buildings have a lowered urinal, natch. But almost never is the sink within reach (the second photo from Elysian Park is typical), nor are the towels, nor the soap.



Here's one last slap in the face of human decency. Jalousy windows set into a transom--a jalousy transom!! Yeah I bet that louvered slit really cools things off in August/September. Probably works about as well as a screened mail slot, or a slatted peek-a-boo, or an uncovered milk pass-through.



Anyhow, I'll be back tomorrow. But what in the blazes with?
