It was seven years ago today that we started this journey together...

 This was the intro to our very first post:
 
Some different roads we can travel down 
together as we start something new.

Comentary below the photos...







It was overly simplistic on my part to start the way I did. I had no plan, 
no agenda. I filled it with things that interested me and hoped that somewhere along the line others - like you guys here now - would find as interesting - or thought provoking. I'd say we've done fairly well together over these years, wouldn't you?
As the Dead famously said, 'What a long, strange trip it's been...' 
As of writing this, we've seen a total of 15,821,187 page views. Fifteen million plus. Unbeleivable.
 I'd say we've done fairly well - I hope you feel the same. Thanks for being here with me, and I hope y'all continue to get as much fun out of it as I have had putting it all together for you. Thank you all...

  7. Joe, I think you are Italian? I know you now live in the Villages, I'm in Ocala for 3 years now, but Cape Coral for 18 years before here. How is it that you always go to Ireland where your brother lived(sorry for his passing), and how did he wind up there, being Italian? women?

    1. There's an old joke say if you marry an Irish girl, she'll make you move to Ireland so she can be near her 70 cousins, brothers and sisters. He married a girl from Belfast...
