    back in the day we would go to Duanes Wrecking Yard on the southern artery for heavy timbers, doors, and just about anything else you would get by tearing houses down. They also had old stoves and radiators for next to nothing.

    Ain't nothin' like Kodachrome. Other than digital snapshots, I've only shot black and white since Kodachrome 25 was discontinued in 2001. Sigh.

    I found a box of prepaid Kodachrome mailers the other day. Sigh...
