That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 23, 2018

“Ok, that flash pays for the trip across the river but you’ll have to pay cash for the return trip.”

Fernando may have been missing an oar, but he never missed a stroke.

Pierre regretted choosing the budget boat until the entertainment came on.

“Ok, you got the part.”

Hey, you have to check back and down.

Now we know where the old saying started, Gas, Grass or Ass. Nobody rides for free.

Outtake from ‘Lady in Cement’.

Roxanne……You don’t have to wear that dress tonight!

I think she needs a more “invasive” search.

What the vampire’s technique for freezing her next victim lacked in subtlety, it made up for in effectiveness. The others were impressed.

The title of the work, Marie l’égyptienne, suggests that it is meant to depict St. Mary of Egypt, but I don’t find any references to a ferry in her story. When she needed to cross the river Jordan, she simply walked across. A better look at the image is athttps://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rene_Ravaut_-1894.png. Information about the saint is at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_ofEgypt. information about the artist is easily found via Google search.

Knock it off lady, you’are scarin the fish.

(best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions/, most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting (described in the French book pointed to by the References pointer I just added there).

Perhaps those who read French can find more about this artist, in addition to what’s indirectly pointed to by the above URL. I couldn’t, that Chrome could automatically translate, anyway. Quite often his lifespan is listed as 1877-1913, which were just his most active years (he turned 23 in 1877). In any event, this is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1958 (May 22, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

TSA…the early years.

No thanks, I’m good.

for that you don’t have to row the boat.

“Doris, I’m beginning to suspect this guy isn’t really blind.”

“They’re real, and they’re spectacular!”

“No ifs, ands, or buts, Dolores. You lost the bet, so now you gotta do three laps to and from the platform. Kate, you got the camera ready?”
