Cool pictures of my friend Gary Cullen's Tatra T47 in front of the John Steinbeck museum, and John Steinbeck house...apparently John owned one in the 1940's at some point...
It is a pretty cool car...and Gary has some pretty cool cars btw...I believe this on is a '47, if I recall...
And yeah, I've known Gary long before I started writing...he's well known in the Exakta collecting world...this picture is about 15 years old, but he had a bunch of round magnifier Kine Exaktas from '36...the earliest Kine Exaktas had round magnifiers...and they were the first 35 mm SLR btw...

Quote by Rumple_deWriter
Taken from JOB, chapter 19, verse 23
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
I would think that ole Job would be happy enough to be a published author, in a bestselling book...
Heck, let's just say that if my book ever sold as much as The Bible...I would be a very happy camper...

This might be of interest to some friends here...this is alternative footage of The Band's last concert...if you're familiar with the movie The Last Waltz, which came out when I was in high school back in '78...you might find this of interest...it's in three parts on YouTube btw...

Hmmm...if I could get people to pay to watch me write, it might be more lucrative than actual writing...
Yeah, this could indeed be a problem my friends...
