TWO MOR FROM KATERINA FROM HER TRIP WEST IN 1961 (Wow! 60 years ago!)

1. Eagle Gate Salt Lake City

" This was formerly the entrance to the private house of Brigham Young. The Bee-Hive house is located on the left in the foreground, and the State Capitol can be seen in the background."

Brigham didn't have a dog or cat, nor a hamster or a goldfish: he had an eagle.

2. Kennecott's Bingham Copper Mine, Bingham Canyon, Utah

"The Mine is located approx 28 miles SW of Salt Lake City. It is the largest surface copper mine in North America...Blasting occurs daily in the afternoons."

Katerina -- why were you collecting Boring Postcards like this 60 years ago? Did you know that their day would eventually come on IUOMA?

SUMMERY BORING POSTCARDS (it's cold here right now, so it's nice to see some sunshine)

1. Camping La Roque-d'- Antheron, Sylvacane-en-Provence, France

Not a Happy Camper in sight!

2. La Piscine de la Petite hollande, Montbéliard, France

This is not in Holland (grande or petite), and neither is there one swimming pool here -- there are two

3. Boring Holiday Postcard from Vigeois, France

Lots of pedalos (and the same photo is here top right and bottom left), but not many happy holidaymakers

4. Boulevard Clémenceau, Draguignan, France

2 BORING POSTCARDS WITH ROQUEFORT CHEESE FOR IUOMA FOODIES -- recipes provided on request. PLUS ONE FROM THE ROQUEFORT CAVES

1. Les Palets Prinsky

2; L'omelette lapeyrière (missing 2 eggs!)

3. Cellars of Roquefort

"One of the cellars of 'Societé' Group Roquefort is slowly maturing under the century-old vault.'

"Now listen, Sylvie -- a photographer is coming tomorrow to take a photo of our Caves, so please take off those dirty old slippers you usually wear around here, and put on something more elegant...please!"

I'd love to own/drive the green one; boring, but in a pleasing way.  The classic 1960s OPEL Rekord has always been one of my favorites.
