OK, great picture.

I'm guessing the little guy in the middle did all the BJ service while the other guys supervised.

Must be why he looks bitter.

Anyone else notice the Browing 30 cal. on the tripod under the slide   guess that is so he could fend off the neighbors who might want to play on his slide...

I had a great thought a couple weeks ago . . .

We now look back at the old pictures and love to compare them to what was there.  We have someone say "what was there before" or "what did that building look like" several times a week.  With Google Street View we will be able to look back years from now.

Presumably they will eventually do a 2.0.  We can only hope they archive the past versions.  How cool would that be to have old photos of nearly every location readily available?  Even if they aren't the best quality it'd be really cool.
