Hey ! I saw "The Three Stooges" use one of those machines in one of their crazy old comedy films.

Now which one was it ?

Moe Howard ?
Curly Howard ?
Shemp Howard ?
Larry Fine ?
Joe Besser ?
or was Curly Joe DeRita?

Oh well, it does not matter.
Those six guys were classics !

This is just more photographic evidence of the way people are treated in these government run institutions. The bathrooms are almost always the same. There is very little privacy and they are so utilitarian in design and function that they help make peoples mind turn into a complete blank. Look at that toilet that is the closest to the door. The person who is using that toilet will get hit by the door every time someone comes in. These people are never treated with any kind of dignity at all.

Some day these old fat - cats who are in power will die off and a new generation will take their place and make things much better. I just wish that these old crones would just hurry up and fall dead into their bowl of soup while sitting at their oak, mahogany and teak wood dining room tables.

In a strangely off beat sort of way this photograph has the look of the old horror classic 1920 silent film called:

"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari".

The tilt of this photograph along with the angles of the light and shadows are wonderful !!!

If you get a chance to watch this film you really should. Or just go on - line and read up on it.

For some unknown reason of which I really do not know why;

I have this undying HATRED for all ferns !!!

I have never had any ferns in any of my gardens in the past or present and I will never have any ferns in any of my gardens in the future. To me, ferns are some sort of throw - back plant to pre - historic times.

This clock tower looks like it will sink into the building itself.

This office is grungy.

Look at that air conditioner on the wall. It looks like it will crumble at any moment.

There is still writing on the white board. These people left in a hurry.

Those purple chairs are so ugly. The seating portion of those chairs are very short for the buttocks and legs of a human body.

The pinhead bosses who worked in this room were probably mean and angry people all the time. I am sure that they lacked all kinds of imagination. I can just see it now: One of the workers has a new idea to make things better and they getted LAUGHED right out of the office.

What a scummy office to work in or have to be around for any reason what - so - ever.

I would avoid that office like the plague.

That clock does say 9:15.

But is it A.M. or P.M. ?

I do not like the way that the room juts out over the clock itself. This puts the clock in a permanent shadow. This in turn puts a dark cloud over time itself. Time should be free and in the light of the day. The people who onced worked at the Franklin Power Plant probably did not look at this clock too often. They probably felt that they were being watched by someone in that room.{ {Look closely and you will see a loud speaker above the windows of that room.}} I bet you dollars to donuts that some of the workers were labeled "clock watchers" by some of the people who worked in management.

I have always HATED management !!!

This photograph reminds me in a sickening way of the Nazi Concentration Camp called Dachau which is outside of Munich, Germany.

To be specific: this photograph reminds me of the Nazi gas chambers.

if you have never taken a tour of a Nazi Death Camp then you will not understand.
