Sorry, I had to start a post that wasn't political or depressing like all the rest.

I am not sure why I can't get it to rotate.

Which one is your relative?

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

BOTH. The guy playing checkers on the right is Great Grandpa when he came out of the woods in the spring. The guy on the left is him after his trip to town for a haircut and shave. It was the one time of the year he smoked cigarettes, otherwise he smoked a pipe. If you look closely in the center of the picture you can see where it was spliced together. I have always enjoyed that picture and the story behind it.

I have nothing clever to put here.

That is a very neat picture.
You should do one like that of yourself.

When you say "out of the woods" do you mean he logged all winter?

160 -

That is about the coolest idea I've seen in quite some time. Kudos on your grandma or whoever put the thing together. I can think of fewer tributes to a man's life than something like that for the following generations to remember him by. Thanks for posting. Made my day.

Cool picture for sure. The photo on the right looks like it was taken at our deer hunting camp up north. One of our guys looked and dressed a lot like him.

I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Yes, he worked in a logging camp all winter and came home to farm in the summer. My uncle did a picture just like that of himself but I can't find it.
