Printed on back of post card:
#6 – Philipsburg, Montana, high in the Rockies, once a great silver camp, and Montana’s oldest quartz lode mining camp, is still a lively, typical western town, which provides fine modern accommodations and comforts.

More-violent-than-expected Bergman, but bleak as ever. Definite dystopian parent to Children of Men, minus the plot.

Dreamed I walked into a coffee bar and Mary Chapin Carpenter was at the counter. She turned around, gave me a hug. She let go first.

Card is titled “Adventure thru Inner Space PRESENTED BY MONSANTO.”
Printed on back of post card:
A view of Monsanto Company’s attraction “Adventure thru Inner Space” in Disneyland. Located in the newly expanded Tomorrowland, this futuristic building houses a ride through the inner space of a snowflake, in a vehicle called an “Atomobile.” The rider feels the unusual illusion of shrinking to the size of the atom.

WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA
ALTHOUGH THE HOUSE contains 6 kitchens, this was the kitchen used primarily after the 1906 earthquake – its hinged laminated wooden drain-boards are only one of Mrs. Winchester’s many inventions/ Can you find the door that opens to the blank wall?
