Mountain man and entertainer Seth Kinman meets a then-campaigning Rutherford Hayes in 1876. Let the slash fiction begin!
1876 photograph showing mountain man and entertainer Seth Kinman posing with a rifle, wearing a buckskin outfit. Next to him sits future president Rutherford B. Hayes, sitting in a chair Kinman made out of deer antlers.

I am sure I have posted this image of California hunter/trapper/entertainer Seth Kinman in a state of repose before. But I am doing so again because, well, LOOK AT IT!
Bearded "mountain man" reclining on a rug wearing a buckskin costume with bare legs. He holds a rifle and is posed with arrows, a quiver of arrows with a bow, bear paws and other taxidermied animal parts.

Tonight's viewing: Last of the Mobile Hot Shots from 1970. I knew I had made the right choice right from that first scene of James Coburn (wearing purple sunglasses!) getting thrown out of a bar onto the sidewalk, followed by the opening credits in old-timey, Old West font.

William A. Peffer, probably our beard-iest senator. I have always had a soft spot for him on account of the scrapbook(s) he kept full of Puck and Judge cartoons (see 1st comment). This suggests he had a sense of humor because believe me, NONE of those cartoons flattered him!:

As much laughter as Cake Wrecks has given me over the years, sometimes it fills me with a deep sadness. With the knowledge of how much "professional" cake decorating costs, only to be presented with the likes of THIS:

Briones Regional Park loop hike: Abrigo Valley, Briones Crest, Mott Peak and Black Oak Trails and Old Briones Road. About 4½-5 miles in total. Perfect day for this trip!
Looking back towards the Berkeley Hills and Tilden Regional Park.Looking north towards Martinez with one of the Sindicich Lagoons in the foreground. Squint and you might see what's left of the once mighty Mothball Fleet in the straits.Looking east towards Mt. Diablo, with Briones Peak and the other one of the Sindicich Lagoons in the foreground.Travelling south on the Black Oak Trail.

So, I had planned on growing my hair long again, figuring the Wild Bill Hickok look would really work on me. But with possible job interviews on the horizon, I thought it better to just cut it all off.

I had no idea that Alexander Graham Bell... a) was so fat he could not leave his room b) had to have his landlady pass food to him through the door, and c) invented the telephone as a means to combat loneliness.

Tonight's viewing: Masquerade from 1988. It's 99% trashy 80s erotic thriller and 1% 40s two-hanky women's picture. I did NOT see that last 1% coming! Any time Rob Lowe showed up, I pointed at the screen with both index fingers and said, "Ann Perkins!"

You’ve met Not-Teddy, now meet Anti-Teddy. His name is Warner Miller. Theodore Roosevelt was a conservationist who loved nature. Warner Miller was a wood pulp magnate who profited from deforestation. Guess who has a street named after him in Mill Valley? Hint: it’s not the one people remember.
