Today's picture was taken in 1938 in Central Ohio. it shows a
desperately poor man and his child. notice how the exterior of his
home is covered by cardboard to serve as a wind break and some modest
level of insulation. When I was growing up in the 60's people were
still living in houses like this. The little town I grew up in had a
Barrio, and it was filled with this sort of scene. [2]

*Rexville Grocery* [2] is a friendly place to stop during a day trip
north of Seattle to the Skagit Valley. They make a great espresso and
there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which to enjoy it. Oh,
and you can pick up wine, cheese, and a fresh baguette and get gas,
too (but read the sign on the pump carefully). This is very near the
winding *Skagit River* [3] in the heart of the farmlands of Mount
Vernon. Bicycle touring is popular in the area, and you can see some
riders are stopping for a fresh deli lunch.

bright green yard lantern was glowing after sundown near this
elaborate red birdhouse. I suppose birds are being encouraged to stop
in here, and they've been given the green light. :-) Or maybe*Mr.
Tumnus* [2] is waiting near that stand of trees in the background
just waiting to meet whomever flits in for a visit through the *wood
between the worlds [3]*. Well, *as Tom says, "We'll leave the light
on for ya.* [4]" [5] [6] [7]

[1] Good Monday morning to you all. Hope you enjoyed your weekend,
and are all fired up to get back to work today. On OPOD this week, we
will be looking at the Great Depression. Today's picture is from
1939, and it shows the son of Migrant Workers eating on the side of
the road. As I mentioned yesterday, Ibelievethat the Great Depression
built a type of character that is sorely missing today. Another
thing I find interesting in studying the Great Depression is to go
back and look at the Roaring 20's. Wow, those folks were completely
caught off guard, and were oblivious to the disaster that was about
to hit them. People in the 1920's had no clue how fast it would hit,
how bad it would get, and how long it would last. In studying the
20's you really don't see anyone raising the alarm. One of the
characteristics that can really be seen in the 20's is the Normalcy
Bias. This is a mental state where people assume that everything will
be OK, even when the signs are pointing to disaster. If you get a
chance, do some research on Normalcy Bias. Lots of interesting
articles on the internet. The other interesting and related theme is
the theory of Black Swans. Both are interesting topics to help
understand how things went wrong so quickly in the 1930's.
