Is that a duckface, jim?

That Mustang has an interesting paint scheme.

For some reason when I first saw that picture I had no idea when it was taken or where it was from, and then one detail came to my memory and that is spitting on whoever was taking the picture. I still don't remember where/when it was taken (not surprising as I don't remember much from those days), or who took the picture, but I remember spitting on the camera man.

The picture on the beach I had no idea that it existed. That was August of 1981 - right after H.S. The only picture I knew existed of that trip was when I found my wallet. When we got to Daytona early in the morning after a 20 hour drive we checked in and went to the beach. I put my wallet in my shoe with all of my money so I wouldn't lose or forget it, and naturally I forgot where I put it. Not only did I forget where I put it, I forgot putting it anywhere. I thought maybe I left it at a gas station in Kentucky or Georgia. After everyone tearing the room up looking for it I said [expletive] it, I'll borrow money for the trip and worry about it later. Of course it was eating at me, and would have ate at me the entire trip. It was everything I saved my entire life, it really was my lifes savings. Went to find some clothes to wear that night and got my shoes and OH YEAH, now I remember!

A friend sent me this gem of a picture from 1985....me and jim and another friend...

Jim Edmonds had some alarmingly sweaty pits. It's like the Everglades up in there.
