The 'Go To' Source For Regret

The staff and management here at 'No Relevant Point' certainly hope that most (if not all) of our viewers received exactly what they wanted for Christmas 2009 - and we trust that you will continue to find our blogateria the 'go-to' source for both idle reflection and painful regret when it comes to the watching of reconstituted films of the good ole days of the 1970s.

Pointing out the fact that youth in general has a short shelf life and that, in most cases, the best days of our lives are already far behind us, is clearly the blunt directive here at NRP and we're just trying to do the best job we can with the tools at hand.

Bonus comment: You'll be pleased to learn that the postie cartoon presented above is most likely the last in the long line of homemade 'postie xmas cards' dating back to the early 1980s.

Another Slide Show (Now With More Pizazz)

Must put up more photos soon. Must clear out more of the old pix that have been hanging around here for ages eagerly awaiting their own special blog moment on the NRP website.

These 'pix-only' postings (as this one be) are always an easy upload/assignment for me. Just pick out and drop in. In fact there's no need for anyone to add text at this point really; it's just another slide show people. No in-depth explanation is required.

The vast majority of these non-moving scenes were captured (when else?) during the 70s and 80s. Perhaps a label is needed for the later years of the 70s. Something to signify the "post Evert" years. Because sometime after 1974, Evert just didn't wanna know, he didn't. Stayed far away, he did. Turned his back on Blazerville and never returned. So you certainly won't find his mug popping up anywhere in this collection of mugs if you were thinking of looking for it.

Taking that thought a step further, I'm not sure if Blazerville would have evolved any differently had Evert's participation in it not come to an undefined end back in the mid-70s. If he'd stuck around longer; maybe got a job at Safeway; would he still be a part of our lives today? Rather than the missing link in the Blazer reunions that he is? I think a full discussion on that topic would lead us down a long, multi branched path and should be saved for a future posting. We don't have time for that now.
