http://www.vetocorleone.com/2009/04/12-pictures-of-presidents-with-queen.html This is the kind of page that keeps me at a low-level fume. Interesting to see how long the old girl has been kicking around, but the photos are arranged in – at best – an inconsistently alphabetized way (with Reagan at the top of the order).

100 Abandoned Houses on Photography Served
http://www.photographyserved.com/Gallery/100-Abandoned-Houses/196639 Thumb up for the chronicler, thumbs-down to the idea of such beautiful, formerly vibrant houses abandoned to rot. And it can’t even be blamed on the sub-prime mess, as Detroit has looked like this for years. What a waste.
