The second picture is of me wearing my own Penny's...
When I was in high school, I remember reading about his planned jump over the Grand Canyon. (Eventually changed to Snake River Canyon due to legal restrictions!). I thought Evel was a real American hero with that 'can do' spirit, like Lindbergh or Houdini - a great showman who inspired others...
A little background on Stephen L. Stetson
One of John B. Stetson’s grandnephews, Stephen L. Stetson, in January 1934 was sued by the John B. Stetson Co. for trademark infringement. That happened after he decided to put his name, Stephen L. Stetson, on his manufactured hats. Stephen L. Stetson...

The art of art. I had quite a run at photographing art in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area some years ago.
The photography of course is incidental to the artworks being photographed - the point being to highlight
the artists work and not the...
Lotta Licorice Pizza!....
I still have a lot of my old vinyl that I still play. I recently bought that ION USB Turntable
so that I can put some of those tunes on CD to listen in the car.
If anybody knows anything about loading the software (Audoacity), please PM me, if you will.

Instant Karma - john lennon
Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,

One Day Soon - burton cummings
One day soon
We'll understand
Before we've gone too far
One day soon
We're meant to see
Exactly who we are
One day soon

It will all unfold
Fight for what's right and
For what...

And you may not know why.

Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try to love one another...
Looks good to me!...
