I don’t come around here often enough. Each time I do, there’s so much to see and absorb. Today, a couple of blasts from my past — Garbo, whose birthday I share, and the Geneva wheel which I remember from the big old projectors with carbide-tip lights.
Now, I have a row of tabs to go through, reading some of the links I found on this page.
