Postmark of the Day - Astoria, Oregon on 22 May 1964.

This motel stills exists and is now owned by the uncle of an old co-worker of mine. I've stayed there a few times. The last time that I did there was a loud argument in the room next door, and I will always think of it as the "yelling guy motel." I won't stay there again.

Anasazi World - Dewitt Jones and Linda Cordell

 

A photo book with text by Linda Cordell. Brief as the text was, I enjoyed it a lot more than the photography. Though many of the photos were quite attractive, there were equally as many in which it was difficult for me to see the ruins.

The CFCP stands for Culler Facer Canceller Preparation. This is the kind of letter processing machine used for small envelopes. A marking of FSM would indicate Flat Sorting Machine, used for larger letters.
