One of my first jobs was to set pins at a bowling alley.

On another subject , when i was young in europe , steam trains still , in the late 50 / 60 s , when you went to the toilet and open the lid , you would see the rail road ties going by . So guess where that was going . A sign said not to use the toilet in a station .
Been there, never walked
between the rails again.

And that Electro feels good in the hand, doesn't it? Did you change your ISO before you exposed your film?
I set ISO to 400, it was underexposed. Probably due to film age and adapter battery setup,6V vs. correct original 5.6V. Haven't used any fresh film yet. HP4.
And yes, feels like a real camera. (read heavy)

I doubt Texas could secede from the U.S.
Save the trouble, just kick them out.

The OP doesn't have the brain power to eliminate chit-chat off his list.
How the hell is he able to operate a camera?

My Chevy Silverado failed the Ohio E-check so I took it to a "name brand" garage to get an estimate.
After the $99.00 inspection. The results were the same that the Ohio E-check showed. They explained
in detail what was need and quoted an estimate of $1400.00 to repair. Labor not quoted.
I went to a local corner muffler shop, got a new catalytic converter for $397.00 plus tax,
went to E-check for recheck and passed.
At least the "name brand" didn't say my tires were dry-rotted.

Occasionally I needed that Teflon tape spool for air line changes/repairs. Naturally couldn't find any and went to Lowe's and got one. The next time I needed, couldn't find it. (twice) So I bought a pack of ten.
Now I cannot go into the garage or any room in my house without tripping over a spool.

I never walked between the train rails.
In 1952 I rode the NYC Ohio to New York.
Used the facilities and flushed.
Looking down, saw the cross-ties speeding by.

Great shots. Pretty sure the Pontiac is a '55...
Lived 4 houses away from Child Cadillac-Pontiac at that time, and agree.

Nit picking I know, but I think the first Mustang was called a 1964 ½.
'64-1/2 was the first, I had a '65, this looks line 1966 version. (length of the chrome spikes aft the door)
