Life Magazine 1966

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

The window is between 1966-1967. I had my subscription to Popular Science (a birthday gift from my grandmother[was, for some slimy reason, really hoping for Scientific American. I figured it would probably be over my head, but I'd be able to fake it anyway.]) while living in this really cool house on an incline in Altadena, Ca. We had a huge open space as the kids collective bedroom (with a few Japanese screens to separate the genders and a huge floor-standing Edwardian Lamp to brighten the place up), featuring different colored/styled carpet samples on the floor (along with a general overhang of toxic vapors from the airplane-glue like cement used to connect those samples to the concrete) and a tube-driven, tabletop AM radio generally tuned to KRLA, firmly planted on a dirty red square of inch-long shag. Spent the summer of '66 in Watts. As I recall, had an interesting discussion of things lysergic with one of the volunteers from the CCC, the daycare program for the WLCAC (the Wat
ts Labor Community Action Committee). So, most likely 1966.

As always, Stewie
