I wish there were more pictures. Can you imagine how great it would be to go back in time with a camera?

This is why European kings repealed catalytic converter regulations in 540.

Dentistry is more painful; use of toilets more constant. I do like having both, plus a lot of other things. :)

In the American west there are a number of ghost towns that lived and died.

In the annals of history, Paradise is just another dead town

It all started on January of that year when the block of cheese developed mold.
