The Swastika was a symbol with different meanings used by several different cultures for centuries BEFORE Hitler used it as a Nazi insignia. The American Indian used the symbol to represent travel in the 4 directions N.E.S.W. it would appear on items owned by someone who had traveled on long Journies in each of these directions from their home it was a symbol that had great meaning "Great Medicine " for the wearer.

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate

Nuclear annihilation looks pretty attractive!


Robert Oppenheimer, the nuclear physicist who directed the 'Manhatten Project', visits Albert Einstein at Princeton. They aren't talking about bombs- Albert is writing down his favorite Goulash recipe.

You guys do realize the Hitler crack was a joke?

Thanks to the history lesson, but wasn't the native American symbol reversed -- meaning not the same symbol at all? Just sayin'.

The "swastika" on the building was, I suspect, just a symbol dreamed up by some rancher to clearly depict HIS cattle VS somebody else's on the open range of the early days.

I did think you meant it as a joke yes, And yes the Native symbol was reversed infact I think Hitler reversed the earlier version as the symbol to use as his swastika and to be honest I couldn't tell which was which side by side now but I could tell them apart on sight at one time.I didn't mean to be a wise ass or anything but I have german relatives and the "history lesson" was intended more as for the younger generations that aren't even learning this history or learning some messed up history. I can't tell you how many times my daughter in law has been asked if she is a NAZI! She is mid 20s and was born in Georgia!

Likely a chevy Canopy Express. An opensided Panel sold for street vedors or delivery guys. The canvas could be set up as shades for to keep the produce out of the sun.

Most heavely used by Hucksters, those fellows who drove the city neighborhoods, selling fruits and vegitables. Looks like empty produce crates in the back. Maybe delivering to the Deli???

I used to live right behind the "magnetic hill" that created the "Mystery Spot" in Lake Delton. It was sad to see it torn down. Here's a few more images from better days...
