On Old Route 66 with “No Sines Of Life”.Interesting that a drinking quote that is said to have been coined by Tom Waits on Fernwood 2 Night in 1977 is attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt. At least the lobotomized bottler got the quote right. Anyone remember Fernwood 2 Night?The trees are showing “Sines of Life” by putting on leaves.
Of course I remember Fernwood 2 Night and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman too. They were about the only shows I could stomach back then. Someone asked me the other day if I ever watched “Dallas”. Nope. .She then told me about some episode for over 10 minutes. Uh huh 🙂
Okay, those sines. I thought, “Can’t be Tim forgot how to spell ‘signs’.” until I saw the marquee. But, of course, when you have missing letters (or not enough) for your marquee, you improvise. Hopefully, no one mistook ‘sines’ as the plural for sins. 🙂
The frontal lobotomy, my Laurie would suggest you get a second opinion first. I’m sure Susan would say the same. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Fernwood 2 Night only ran for a few months in 1977. It was one of the few fun shows. Otherwise, we had to watch British comedies on public television to get decent shows.
Interesting and also very attractive series.
Thanks, Susan. Interesting stuff downtown.
My guess is that the Eleanor Roosevelt attribution was a joke, possibly an April Fools joke depending on what day you took the photos…
Hi Lyn. I took the photos today. That’s a good guess. Who knows?

I never saw Dallas or Mary Hartman. But I did watch Fernwood.
This post has brought back the horrors of math class 😉
Hi Teri. Did you feel lobotomized working out sines, cosines and tangents?
A whole lotta lobes got snipped! Science I was great in, math? Meh…
Eleanor nailed it!
Maybe it was Eleanor Rigby. Thanks, Bruce.

Mr. Rogers made a good point. I don’t think Mr. Rogers will be quoted on a sign outside a liquor store. But you never know. Thanks, Ron.
Hi Tim, priceless photos and a humorous post to start my day! Thank you!
Hi Mia. Aways happy to provide some humor to start your day.
Humor is always well received! Thanks again!

Hi David. Signs, sines or sins probably make little difference after a frontal lobotomy.
I like that show… Fernwood 2 Night! All the good ones go away.

Hah! These are cute. The atmosphere there looks very interesting too.
Old Route 66 in Downtown Albuquerque has its own vibes. Thanks, Holly.
