Yup,
Not long after dinosaurs roamed the earth,
Just a little bit past the Civil War really,
There were guys, um, -- mostly guys, ...groping the stone:


Keith Cunning, O'Kelley Crack, might even be Wangerbanger.

Somehow, just last weekend all of these crusty old dads materialized.

Some pre-1980s shots of all y'all would be cool too…

I hardly recognize any of those dudez, tar! Maybe give us a few captions? I think the guy in the Acopa hat is Fred Beckey, he has the look of a thousand years on him. And the bald guy, that is Tom Frost, right?

Lots happened,
Old debts were paid!

The back story: 24 years ago, I worked a day of hard labor for Andre Olobri.
He stiffed me! The little punk.
Well, not entirely, because he gave the Fish a c--note way back then, to pass along to me, and the Fish intercepted it, and confiscated the Ben Franklin as a levy against Andre for miscellaneous fines and embarrassments.


New terrain was covered:
(well, new to us, hahaha)



And some gems were plucked:
