Cool pics Dave.   

I may have some pics of family at home of NYC from when I was a kid. If I do have them, I'll scan some. There WAS a whole suitcase full going back to my Great Grandparents, but my Mom lost it in a move.

I hear ya. I didn't think I was affraid of heights untill I was helping a worker yesterday on our flag mast at just 50ft.  Looks like just another day for those guys........I guess it was.

i HATE Heights, those pics make my knees quiver!!!!

And why do black and white pictures seem so much more realistic  and graphic when it comes to things like that??

I'm not afraid of heights, not even really afraid of falling, however the idea of face planting into concrete at 9.8 meters per second scares the living hell out of me.
