Was over my moms digging through some old pictures. Stumbled upon these. I am guessing late 50's early 60's.


The only people I recognize is my great aunt and uncle at club 82 and my grandparents at the copa. The rest are a bunch of Eyetalians Inam supposedly related to somehow.

M-Day picnic at Legion Park and someone thought my XRL needed flowers added.
Not sure who, as there were a lot of kids running around.

My neighbor raises goats - lots of goats - and has a number of fenced pastures they graze in.

I saw this yesterday on my walk/jog. Made me laugh.

Found a new sport while visiting family in AZ.

Scorpion hunting. Found this one that was about 4” long and nearly an inch thick.

I've always heard that the small scorpions have a much higher level toxic sting, than the large breeds ! This one should be docile like a hamster....harmless ?

Last year, my bro-in-law picked his swim trunks up off the floor from their master bedroom, slipped them on and “bam” was nailed in one of his plumbs! Then to add insult to injury, was nailed a second time in his arse as he was doing the chicken dance getting them off from the first hit.

It was from another type of scorpion, a small bark scorpion that is common to the region. Those are small and quite venomous.


One of the local man made lakes encountered a golden algae bloom that consumed all of the oxygen and caused a mass fish die off.
