Allright guys, even though I'm just 40, I want to put a word of advice to you:

Even when getting out old pictures' boxes and scanning seems such a good idea, it will positively bring you some sadness.

just curious, do any of you have any old pictures near any landmarks?
Does the Royal Gorge qualify as a landmark? ;)
 
Another way to see the gorge.  Army Sgt. Ken Fuller free rapelled down 1053 feet to the bottom.  There is a sign on the bridge.  He told us about it when he visited our home in MI.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I fixed this photo in Photoshop but it was taken from a magazine,
 or it was in some kind of plastic covering.

If you want to save it, just drag the larger version to your desktop.
