Life got away from me a little bit, so I’m tardy in posting these pictures. A collection of historical Boone artifacts in this volume.

Slice of Life Vol. 49
Some pictures of the Pufferbilly Days Parade, I’m guessing. Plus a picture of my first rabbit Fluffy. Apparently not as cute as I remembered.
Or is it just that Foster Q. Bunny has ruined me for all other rabbits? Probably not, I never wrote a series of mildly successful superhero short stories about Foster Q. Bunny.
There are quite a few things I find interesting in these pictures.
1. It is weird to think about Boone’s changing skyline, but it has changed. The smoke stacks from the old power plant no longer dot the Boone skyline.
2. I don’t remember that Carlson’s building at all.
3. Wilson Tap used to be called Wilson Recreation… That is awesome!
Post No. 1,101
It is time once again for me to to do a random look at some of the statistics on the website.
First up is what are the 10 Most Popular Images in the Artistic Galler.
This one is actually somewhat of a shocker. A picture of Brandon has went from nowhere to be the most popular picture and the long time reigning champ Outburst of the Soul has fallen all the way to a tie for 6th Place. Although admittedly, I think spammers might have something to do with the rather large shakeup in the standings.
1. Brandon Senior Picture
2. Johnathan Senior Picture
3. Battered School Bus – Hamlin, Iowa
4. Self-Portrait
5. Jen Between Sets of an UnHingd Show
6. UnHingd Publicity Still
6. Outburst of the Soul

8. 1900
8. Becca – Senior Picture

There has also been quite a shakeup in the Snapshots Gallery Top Ten.
Here are the 10 Most Popular Pictures in the Snapshots Gallery:
1. Me White Trashing It
2. ISUCFVMB
3. Alexis Cheerleading
4. Shannon and I at an Inebriated Saints Show
5. Jesse and I with the World’s Largest Cheeto

7. Jesse and I at the Surf Ball Room
8. Jesse Endorsing the Bob’s Dog
8. 2009 ISU Spring Game
10. Shannon Reading Map at Backbone
10. Jesse and I in Clinton
Finally, a look at the Top Ten People to either contribute or be written about in An Artist’s Notebook.

2. Jay – 151 – (+7)
3. Shannon – 146 – (+6)

In case you were interested in what the standings looked like 100 posts ago:

Slice of Life Vol. 48
Some photos of historical documents.
Slice of Life Vol. 47
More pictures of the Bass Creek High Bridge and historical Boone pictures.
Slice of Life Vol. 46
My scanner was my friend this week. Several pictures of the Bass Creek Bridge in this collection.
I’m also very intrigued by these “The First National Bank of Boone” bills. I assume these are probably in the safe deposit box with the rest of the coin collection, but I’ve never seen them.
Slice of Life Vol. 45
I had some scanner issues, so there are only 6 pictures this week. I’ll do better next week.
Looks like some pictures of the High Bridge and Boone High Basketball. Maybe when they played at the DMACC gym?
Slice of Life Vol. 44
I don’t really know where some of these pictures were taken at, but I can tell you that the weird thing on the side of the old domicile at 415 Greene were some form of early solar panels. The Bennett Family has always been ahead of the curve.
There is also a picture of the 1st rabbit I ever owned in here. His name was Fluffy. He was the inspiration for a series of creative writing stories I wrote in the 4th Grade. These stories were the first time I fooled myself into thinking I was a writer.
There is also a picture of Cindy in there. She was the dog before Tiffany. Tiffany was the dog before Karma.
Slice of Life Vol. 43
I wish I knew where some of these train pictures were taken.
