After careful analysis, I have determined that today's slide scans DO qualify as Snoozles™. But just barely! This first one is from August, 1962; we see a salty sea dog up in the rigging of the Columbia. He's whistling the Old Spice jingle, as was traditional in the 18th century. Based on this fellow's expression, he's spied a sea cow, but he's been at sea for so long that he thinks it's a beautiful mermaid. Next, it's July 1963, and we have this partially-obstructed view of the Submarine Lagoon. Why the photographer didn't lean forward so that the gondola safety bars were out of frame, I'll never know. I guess the brain edited them out. Still, if you just look within the upper "window", it's a nice look at the yellow Monorail, the last of the Mark IIs (introduced in 1961).
