The "A Visual Story From LDub's 'Neat Photos' Folder" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Cleaning my desktop and came across my folder labeled "Neat Photos."  Thought it was time to share a few with you and make your day a bit brighter as well as easier on your reading for the day.  A few of these have been in other stories over the past 10 years, but the majority of them have been visiting in my "Neat Photos" folder forever.  Hope you enjoy a few of them!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - Click images to enlarge them.

Martin's Drive-In was a favorite of mine in the early 1960's.
