Yellow Submarine

Brian Betten stands in front of his “yellow submarine” — a propane tank painted yellow and decorated like the marine vessel in the Beatles song. - Messenger photo by Bret Hayworth

This 'submarine' sits by the side of US20 not far from my wife's hometown of Rockwell City, Iowa. The Messenger is the Fort Dodge newspaper. Got to wondering after I wrote 'newspaper', do they still print a real paper newspaper? Yes, they do. 

You can see an older version of the submarine on Google's Streetview:

Yellow Submarine, Google Streetview

It even has a placemark on Google Maps now.


The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
The Beatles

Here's the song that started all this. I really liked the Beatles music back then, but at some point I kinda got burned out on it, and kind of tired of McCarthy's relentless cheerfulness, and I quit listening to them. Probably happened about the same time that Lennon was shot.  Well, I didn't stop listening completely, I still listen to them occasionally.
