Awesome pictures! somehow when you look at the pictures in black and white they seem so distant, like ages ago. Add a little color and it reminds you that it was only 60 years ago, and if you didn't know better some of those could seem like contemporary pictures. Truly remarkable!

He likes the hot chick. Except she's 85 now.

Actually, it's the yellow plane.

Like Manumania said up there, it's just hard sometimes to think about life other than those black-and-white pictures you've seen.

IIRC, that also took place in Corpus according to the cutline.

I'd hit it.
The correct verb tense is past subjunctive: "I'd have hit it."

The correct verb tense is past subjunctive.

Maybe not.

Maybe not.If the intended verb tense is conditional, then my response is "Ewww."

It is hard to picture life during the depression.

These really help! Thanks for the link.

I love visiting museums.

Does this one look off to anyone else?
