July 3rd; thinking of you, my friend.

Steve, thanks for taking time to keep us informed. :)

I had the Desiderata framed and hanging on my wall for years. Eventually, I took it down to make room for another item (a skull mount of a nice mule deer) — I just put it back on the wall, in a different location.

RE: post # 8, I recognize Jack & Harley (and maybe Brian in the light blue shirt, with the beard), but no one else -- names, please. :)
