The Mrs. has become distracted (disgusted? resigned?) to me acquiring typewriters, so showing up with a new Bakelite box camera periodically is less of an issue these days. Besides, she just saw some show about putting collections on display in the home, so now I'm getting <I>objects d'art</I>.<BR/><BR/>Tanks for the idea...mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-37121817570883347452008-04-21T05:48:00.000-07:002008-04-21T05:48:00.000-07:00Would lend whole new context to "Mad Farmer Libera...Would lend whole new context to "Mad Farmer Liberation Front" (added in tiny, handwritten letters underneath: "Now we have a tank.

I am not kidding. Military tanks. Has half a dozen of 'em. Seems he's caused a bit of a dust-up in the community with his plans to open a tank obstacle course where other tank enthusiasts can bring their machines to drive over and/or through stuff.<BR/><BR/>I turned to the spousal unit and said, "You don't ever get to complain about my typewriters again or I'm taking up tank collecting."Olivanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153890530685124767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-67505114734950031962008-04-19T17:52:00.000-07:002008-04-19T17:52:00.000-07:00la la la la la I'm not listening to you...la la la la la I'm not listening to you...Duffy Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105074089216551597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-55651012350129839492008-04-19T17:42:00.000-07:002008-04-19T17:42:00.000-07:00Cameras are way teeny compared to typewriters.
