I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

3900 block of Nebraska Avenue NW
When NBC radio and television and its local affiliate, WRC, moved to new headquarters on Nebraska Avenue in 1958, the average TV screen measured 12 inches. The facility opened with six studios – three TV and three radio. Soon history happened here.
On October 7, 1960, some 70 million viewers watched as NBC broadcast the second televised presidential debate, with candidates Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy facing four reporters. It was widely reported that Vice President Nixon used makeup to cover his five o'clock shadow, better to compete with the tanned and telegenic young Senator Kennedy.
Also in these TV studios, former University of Maryland student Jim Henson and his wife Jane introduced a green "muppet" named Kermit to the world, leading to a regular show on WRC called Sam and Friends.
The list of innovative programming by NBC and WRC is long. Since 1960, high school whiz kids have competed to answer Mac McGarry's questions on WRC's It's Academic. Here the much-imitated Meet the Press got its start. And the WRC radio studios launched "the Joy Boys": former American University students Ed Walker and Willard Scott. Their theme song, "We are the Joy Boys of radio, we chase electrons to and fro . . .," opened a halfhour comedy show beamed regionally and to armed forces stationed around the world.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
