This is the actual cage that was fitted onto the face of Winston Smith after enduring months and months of excruciating torture that finally brings him to his most base point and breaks him so he finally understands what he has to do to have the rats taken away as they start to gnaw on his cheek flesh and he screams out "KILL JULIA ,KILL JULIA ,KILL JULIA !!" .

NOT my grandmother theater
But it may as well have been. I couldn't find a picture of the Bellmore Theater that my grandmother owned as long as I can remember in my youth. It looked almost exactly like this building from upstate NY. Gladys (grand mother ) lived in a huge apartment above the movie theater . This building seems a bit smaller then hers was . My father also as long as I remember was the projectionist so as a boy and teen I spent a lot of time in the projectionist booth which was a pretty interesting place for a boy . Huge projectors , film spicers , transformers , rectifiers , crazy shit really but it all seemed normal to me . As a teen I worked as an usher until my early 20s. Gladys sold the business in the early 70s , went to a home and died a few years later . The theater is still there and as far as I know its one of the few single large screen movie theaters still left on Long Island . I haven't been there in years and years . I should go see a movie there some night but that might be way too weird . Allan

Dick and Perry
I was looking for another picture and came on to this picture of Dick Hickock and Perry Smith the murderers of the Clutter family in Holcom ,Kansas as chronicled in he book In Cold Blood by Truman Capote . Amazing how much Perry Smith looks like Robert Blake who played him in the movie "In Cold Blood. Allan

Fire Island walkway
This is typical of a way between towns (often miles) on Fire Island. Most people go by water instead on the bay side of the island . Amazing this area has existed as it has over the years. It could of been over grown with housing , very expensive housing . Now it's NAtional Sea shore and will never be developed . Only the existing towns remain and there is even some deal if those houses are destroyed by storm they can't be replaced and it reverts back to beach .

SALT!
This interesting picture is of an area where the people of country toil gathering up salt . It's a salt laden area of the earth . The people who work it make almost nothing gathering the salt under very harsh working conditions . When I first saw it it reminded me of an artists pallette . Oh look , i just noticed the person on the road that gives you some idea of the size .

Passion Flower
This was just sent to me by the photog I know named AT . I can't explain it (i don't know) but the passion flower is called the passion flower because somehow the seven stations of the cross are represented in the flower . I used to have a passion flower in a greenhouse . It is a rapid growing vine of a plant . The one I had used to have hundreds of flowers on it . I finally got rid of it because it became a pest growing all over the place . AT said this is from his back yard so I guess he lives in a tropical area as the plant is not a winter hardy plant but grows like wildfire in a tropical area . allan

New evidence
This classified photo just released of the "grassy" knoll fuels speculation of just who was responsible for the JFK assasination . It's thought by many this appeared after JFK was shot as a manifestation of Marilyn Monroe . Theories abound why Marilyn would appear . This apparition wasn't seen in the original Zagruda film of the knool . Form your own opinions about what it all means . AK
Proof !
This undoctored xray photo of a dead duck is proof that aliens have invaded the earth and that they hide in odd places only to be seen on rare occasions like when a dead duck happens to be xrayed . You can be sure this alien will be embarrassed when the "Big" alien boss gets wind of this picture . AK
