If nothing else,it gives me an opportunity to visit all the old sights that I remember from when I lived here about 35 years ago.

I’ve got lots of processing to do when I get back home but here’s a little [...] The Wings and Wheels Festival wrapped up and few hours ago and I’m dog tired. Over 40 hours in 4 days has me beat.
