The Cobbler’s Shelves

Those of you who have followed me these past few years, know about my love for these 35 year old fire fighting boots.  When I dropped them off at the Cobbler’s shop for repair, I saw that the shelves were loaded down with shoes and boots of every style.  In our throw away society, it is reassuring to know that others have a love for old boots and shoes, and that a third generation cobbler has the skill to restore these treasures.

Out of Darkness…

At the root of all beliefs lies the redemption of light,

which rescues us from the fear of darkness.

In the New Year, may we all find our path out of darkness,

and be beacons of light in the world.

Make Room! Make Room!

“Ocean’s dying, plankton’s dying… it’s people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They’re making our food out of people. Next thing they’ll be breeding us like cattle for food. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!”

Quote from the 1973 movie Soylent Green. Sorry for the spoiler but if you haven’t seen this film yet, chances are you never will.

The film, which is closely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison, won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973.

I have no idea what type of product this particular plant produces but, out in the middle of the desert NE of Las Vegas would be the perfect place to process humans for food when the time comes!

And with that thought, please stop by and visit my personal blog, Photos By Emilio, if you get hungry!
