Thursday Thirteen
Our Pennsylvania trip was five days long - two of those, however, were driving. One cannot really take in an area in three days, but we did our best. This kind of wraps up the last of the photos I am sharing of this vacation.
These are shots of a company that bills itself as The World's Largest General Store.
These are just pictures to round out the 13 -
I was stunned to see Gulf gas stations in Pennsylvania. I thought Gulf went out of business a long time ago. But apparently there are still some franchises left.
We kept driving by this red metal dinosaur, and I finally took a picture of him because how often do you see a red metal dinosaur?
This old typewriter was in the window of the book store in Jim Thorpe, PA.
That's our trip to Pennsylvania. A race track, a guitar store, pretty scenery, a bit of history, a little shopping, and some unusual stuff.
Now back to our regularly scheduled pictures of Autumn, deer, and whatever else wanders through the front yard.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 469th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
These are shots of a company that bills itself as The World's Largest General Store.
 |
| I don't know if it is the world's largest, but it had a *lot* of stuff. These were canned goods. |
 |
| Life-sized statues for purchase are not things I see often. They may be available in my area, but not in places I frequent. |
 |
| Several stores had these plaques with sayings on them. They seem like a good project for someone who is interested in crafts. |
 |
| This handsome fellow was on sale for $799, originally $2,049. I wanted to bring him home but my husband said no. |
 |
| He was not on sale. |
 |
| I say, I say, now who could pass up a picture of Foghorn Leghorn? |
 |
| Zoltar the fortune teller told me my fortune for $1. He said, "If you think you can, you can, and if you think you can't, you can't. Either way, you are right." Then a little ticket popped out that told me I needed to learn to talk less and listen more (which rather surprised me because I've always been told I was a pretty good listener). Unfortunately, I lost the little ticket. |
 |
| Dracula did not scare me. The price tag on him did, though. |

And finally, we found parking meters all over the place. We don't have parking meters around here.
Fortunately, we had a lot of quarters.

Jim Thorpe, the town
Jim Thorpe, PA is broken into two parts, separated by a river. The first part we reached ran up into the mountain, or so it seemed, but it had a Main Street appeal. The courthouse was located here along with many small shops and the visitors' center in a former train depot. The other side was less picturesque and was divided by a main road, 903, which went to the Pocono Racetrack and beyond.
See my previous post for information on how the town came to be known as Jim Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe was originally known at Mauch Chunk, which are the Lenni Lenape (Native Americans) words for "sleeping bear."
The coal-mining town was incorporated in 1850, though the first settlement of the area occurred in 1818 with the construction of 40 buildings on 400 acres.
At one time, 19 of the country's 26 millionaires had a residence in Mauch Chunk, according to the visitor's guide. I guess that was back in the 1800s or early 1900s - the book didn't say exactly when this was.
We enjoyed walking the two blocks I could manage.
See my previous post for information on how the town came to be known as Jim Thorpe.

| Another book store! Hurray! |
 |
| The structures are very small-town America in style. |
 |
| Jim Thorpe has been called the "Switzerland of America." |
 |
| This was the town library. The structure was built in 1889. |

| I wanted to go in but could not find a handicapped access. |

Jim Thorpe Memorial
During our adventures in Pennsylvania in the last week of September, we ran across a memorial to Jim Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe (1887-1953) was an American athlete who achieved fame in the 1912 Olympics, where he received gold medals in the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon. He also played football (collegiate and professional), and professional baseball and basketball. He lost his Olympic titles because later it was learned that he had been paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics. This violated rules in place then.
In 1983, 30 years after his death, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) restored his Olympic medals.
Interestingly, Thorpe grew up in Oklahoma. He was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation and thus of Native American heritage. He was the first Native American to medal in the Olympics.
He was also the first president of what eventually would become the National Football League.
An ABC Sports poll called Thorpe the greatest American athlete ever, beating out others like Ali and Michael Jackson.
Thorpe died in California. He never lived in Pennsylvania. He ended up buried in Pennsylvania allegedly because his third wife "stole" his body as it lay in state. Apparently, she heard that the small Pennsylvania towns of Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk (now called Jim Thorpe) were seeking to attract business. She made a deal with officials which, according to Thorpe's son Jack, was done for monetary considerations. Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk bought Thorpe's remains, erected a monument to him, merged, and renamed the newly united town in his honor, even though Thorpe had never been there.
The monument site contains his tomb, two statues of him in athletic poses, and historical markers describing his life story.
Thorpe's son, Jack, in 2010 attempted to have his father's remains relocated to Oklahoma, but in 2014 a U.S. Appeals Court ultimately ruled that the remains should stay where they are, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear another appeal, which ended the matter.

Sunday Stealing: Wish List, Part 1
Sunday Stealing
Wish List Meme, part one
1.) What are 3 things on your wish list and why?
A. I don't really have a wish list, but I think I would like (a) for someone to come in and take care of my clutter and redo my house - with me away somewhere knowing things I think I treasure (but probably really don't) are being thrown out while new things are being brought in (like one of those house-remodeling TV shows); (b) for my husband to be able to retire, because he is 57 years old and all the things he does are physical and dangerous (firefighting, farming, construction), and (c) to lose weight, because I would probably feel better.
2.) Do you miss your childhood?
A. Hell no.
3.) What do you do on your spare time on the weekends?
A. I change the bed linens, give the house a clean-over as best I can with my current health issues, and then play video games, read, play the guitar, and have dinner with my husband.
4.) What do you appreciate most in your life?
A. My husband.
5.) Would you rather be rich or healthy?
A. Healthy. If you're healthy you can work on being rich, but if you're rich and sick, all you have are good doctors who aren't going to do much for you anyway.
6.) If you could go back in time would you and why?
A. I would like to go back in time to look around, so long as it didn't affect the future. I would like to see how the pyramids were built, for example, and how Stonehenge was actually constructed and what it was used for.
7.) Favorite game as a child?
A. I don't recall having one, really, but the first thing that came to mind was Candyland, so I will go with that one.
8.) What is your dream career?
A. At this point, I honestly don't have one. I still like to write and hopefully one day will get a book written, but I no longer see that as a career option. The Internet has changed the path I was on so much that it is unrecognizable to me as the one I wanted when I was younger.
9.) What do you do in your free time?
A. Isn't that the same as question #3? The answer is the same.
10.) Favorite clothing stores?
A. Belk and JC Penny.
11.) What TV shows can't you live without?
A. I don't watch much TV and could live without it. I currently like Big Bang Theory, Masters of Sex, and Game of Thrones. I am waiting to see the second season of Supergirl. I also watch Survivor but I don't know why.
12.) Three things you need in your life are:
A. My husband, sleep, and mental stimulation.
13.) What can't you sleep without?
A. I sleep on a wedge because I cannot lie flat because of abdominal adhesions.
14.) Who do you have a celebrity crush on?
A. No one, really. But I'll go with Viggo Mortenson and Orlando Bloom, because, Lord of the Rings.
15.) What is your favorite season and why?
A. I like Spring. I used to like Autumn, and I still do, but as I've grown older I have come to appreciate the new life that Spring brings.
16.) What is your favorite wild animal?
A. I like bears.
17.) Name three of your favorite childhood shows:
A. H. R. Pufnstuff, The Land of the Lost, and Isis.
18.) If you could live as a character in a movie who would it be?
A. I would be Arwen in Lord of the Rings. She's an elf with powers and she marries Aragorn.
19.) Favorite vegetables?
A. Green beans and carrots.
20.) Favorite fruit?
A. Concord grapes. Grapes are a fruit, aren't they?
21.) If you had a dragon what would you name it?
A. Drachen.
22.) What do you put on hotdogs?
A. Usually only ketchup and pickle relish. Sometimes I go wild and add a little mustard.
23.) Do you play online games?
A. I only play single-player games, but they are online. I do not play multi-player games.
24.) What is your favorite way to get inspired?
A. Listen to music and/or take a walk in the woods.
25.) Do you have a middle name?
A. Yes. Apparently it is Trouble, because that is what everyone in the county seat would say when they saw me entering a room. "Here comes trouble." That was when I was writing for the newspaper.

Saturday 9: My Life
Saturday 9: My Life Would Suck Without You (2009)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here. (New song for me. But then, I don't listen to Kelly Clarkson much.)
1) This video begins with Ms. Clarkson on a swing. When you were young, did you prefer the swings or the slide?
A. Neither. I was not particularly interested in outdoor activities. I read. I do remember that the big long bar across the swing set at my grandmother's house was hollow, and we would stand on the bar that created an "A" and talk to one another through the bar. One year a bunch of bees had nested there and I was stung in the ear. We stopped doing that.
2) The first words are, "Guess this means you're sorry." Who is the last person to apologize to you?
A. Nobody who really SHOULD apologize to me has ever apologized to me. But I think the last person who said "I'm sorry" to me was my physical therapist, when I nearly fell off the exercise ball on Thursday and she nearly missed catching me and pushing me back upright. After that, she did not let go of me.
3) One of Kelly's earliest show business jobs was as an extra on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. Do you believe in witches and warlocks?
A. Not like you mean, I think. Not like in Wizard of Oz or whatever. Do I think there are people who practice witchcraft who call themselves witches and warlocks? Absolutely. Are some of them bad? Absolutely. But I also think there is a bit of a witch or warlock inside each of us. We just don't know it.
4) Mentioning witches and seeing Kelly with a lollipop reminds Sam . . . She needs to pick up a 1 lb. bag of Dum Dums for Trick or Treaters. Have you done anything in preparation for Halloween?
A. No. We live in a rural area and have never once in 28 years had a trick-or-treater. I guess if someone showed up I'd give them a tube of toothpaste or something.
5) Ms. Clarkson's advice to aspiring young singers is not to listen to advice. "Everyone gives you their 2¢ worth, but you have to follow your gut." Are you good at soliciting and following advice? Or do you tend to follow your gut?
A. I think I tend to follow the advice that is most in line with my gut.
6) The year this song was popular, 2009, saw two major newspapers go out of business. Both the Seattle Post Intelligencer and Rocky Mountain News published their last editions. Do you still read a paper copy of your local newspaper?
A. I do. I have been reading the newspaper since I was four years old. I don't see any point in stopping now.
7) In 2009, Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook tried to buy Twitter, but was rebuffed. Which social media site do you spend the most time on?
A. Facebook. I have accounts on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ but I don't understand the last three - or haven't tried to. I recently joined Pinterest and can't figure that out, either.
8) In 2009, the Balmain Collection included a pair of jeans that retailed for $2,165. What's the most you would pay for denim pants?
A. About $50.
9) Random question: You buy a charity raffle ticket and tuck it into a friend's birthday card. Before you can give the card to her, the numbers are drawn and you realize the ticket is worth $500. Do you keep the ticket or give it to your friend, as planned?
A. Ooo. Tough question. I think it would depend on whether or not I'd already sealed the envelope. If I hadn't sealed the envelope, I would consider removing it and replacing it with something else. If I had sealed it, I think (!) I would give it to the friend. Technically, by sealing it I feel like I've already given it away, but if I haven't sealed it yet, then it is technically still mine. Semantics, I know.

More Martin Guitars
If you want to hear current owner Chris Martin give a tour of the Martin Museum and offer an explanation of how Martin Guitars came to be, check out this link, which has a video tour in numerous parts. If you have any interest in learning about guitar history, this is an interesting video series.
Wednesday, September 28, 2016, we visited the Martin Museum, located at the factory, after we toured the factory. With the guitars behind glass, it was difficult to obtain decent pictures.
Many well-known people have played Martin guitars, including Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Kurt Cobain, Gene Autry, Sting, Paul Simon, Jimmy Buffet, Jimmy Page, Tom Petty - the list goes on. Most well-known musicians apparently own or owned a Martin guitar.
To see better photos of the one millionth guitar, check this link for the back and this link for the front.
I would guess the company should be coming up on its 1,500,000 guitar soon, if it hasn't already surpassed that.
Guitars are lovely to look at, and beautiful to play. Music is a wonderful hobby and it's worth playing if only for yourself. Don't ever let anyone tell you that picking up a guitar is a waste of time. Do it for yourself. After all, it's your life. Make it sing.

| I think this was the 500,000 Martin guitar but I am not sure. If so, it was built in 1990. |
 |
| Older guitars looked like this. Not much different than what you see today, eh? |
 |
| A story of how Martin came to Nazareth, PA. |
 |
| Being a female guitar player, I found this content eye-opening. Apparently guitars were originally a woman's instrument. By the time I was a teenager, guitars were considered men's instruments. I do not know what changed, but I suspect the introduction of the heavier electric guitar played a role in changing guitar from a female to a male instrument. Additionally, this says that Martin expanded his markets to take in the rail lines so that his product went west. My guess is its portability led it to become the instrument of choice among rail road builders and others who traveled to the other side of the United States. |
 |
| More guitars owned by famous people. |
 |
| This is the one millionth guitar, produced in 2004. It took three years to build. Its value is $1 million. |
