Thanks Lynne! We loves ya!

I SO love this picture Motts!

......I'll bring Johnny, girls! :-)

....yep, I just HAD to ask, didn't I?

Geez Tony buddy are you ok? Lynne, pass the smelling salts, girl!

Sounds extremely tropical, Lynne...What say we all get together with these lamps out on that porch of this tropical-looking building, and have a few of those there drinky's..... :-P

Lynne, which set of feet are yours? Motts, how fast was your shutter speed to capture their feet on the floor in the middle of the pirate dance?

If it's a suction machine then they might have oxygen and such attached to the cart as well, or it might be an oxygen powered suction device. Lyric is right - when you have lungs full of nasty stuff or if you have a trach tube you need to be suctioned regularly. It would make sense for people whose lungs aren't working well, such as in TB, to have oxygen tanks at the ready, or again, it might have been oxygen powered - I just don't know if they had those back then.

This machine looks similar to a crash cart - they also have lots of drawers to put little goodies in. If this is a suction machine you need a variety of different sizes of suction catheters on hand and a lot of back-up ones, because you sure can't use the same one more than once at a pop. =8-o

The little cage device on the floor (bottom left) may be the same type device we used to use to cap the water sprinklers for the sprinkled buildings on campus where I work. The old sprinkler systems had little metal blades with three or four teeth, and if there was a fire they spun around to shoot the water out. However, if you didn't put a little cage type device over them, people were always grabbing them and cutting themselves, so they designed that swell little cage so they protected the blades but allowed the water to come out if there was a fire. We have several dozen unused ones in one of the abandoned buildings on campus, and all the sprinklers in the 8 unused buildings on campus have these on each spout.

I am guessing it something along the lines of a Long Island Iced Tea that tastes all sweet and sicky, like a laced soda pop, but actually just consists of 3 or 4 shots of liquor. It was pink, had a swell umbrella, and a little blue plastic sword was shoved through a cherry and a slice of orange. Does that help at all? ;-)

That's all fine and dandy people, but don't forget Lynne's a professional and she can handle this stuff!

.....well, maybe she can't..... LOL

We all wish that these structures should stay with us....I don't know about you guys, but if I'm ever ridiculously wealthy, I'm going to be an 'anti-evil one' and do restorations on stuff like Motts' subjects!

Who would have ever thought that an autoclave could be so elegantly designed? That thing is beautiful!
