I recovering from a medical procedure- thus I lost yesterday totally, today I am better but still not up to par energy wise. My body went into mini shock mode I think. - so I used it as an eBay listing day. I have been destashing my collection on there, helping pay the bills and clean the attic studio space bit by bit. I probably make pennies, because I am curious, and spend much time investigating the history of people places and things. I learned about about a town in North Dakota that had a population of 1300 when the postcard was sent, and is now down to 91, businesses on the east side of Manhattan that sold quackery medicine marketed to parents for their sickly children which later was that it contained poisons and opiates. (like the Paragoric that my mother would give me as a child. I remember loving the sedative effects but didn't make the connection until I read about it!) . Saw the term "social hikers" in regards to people to hiked in groups and took photos in the wild. I learn about processes in printing and about printers. It is all so fascinating. If you are curious - take a look at the little stories on the photos I posted. :)
