Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.

 Quoting: Duncan the destroyer

Yes. Pea Island is a nature preserve in the Outer Banks and April Lovin is a real person.

You may Google her name for her details.

My surname sounds no less plausible as hers and I spend time in the NC Outer Banks too.

Here is a YouTube report of someone finding a film
canister dropped by European tourists filming a blizzard
in New York City. Was cute...they dropped the film canister
and a YouTuber found it!


[link to youtu.be (secure)]
: FairUSE:


And...I guess people find "lost and found cameras"
and post the developed pictures on YouTube trying to
find the owners! There's a whole bunch of these videos
if you like this kind of topic...I think it is pretty
cool!

[link to youtu.be (secure)]
: FairUSE:
NO SOUND...JUST THE PICTURES...LOOKING
FOR THE OWNERS.

Wouldn't it be wild if someone in one of these
"lost and found" cameras/film canisters turned out
to be a GLP'er? lol!

There’s a video out lately that showed a guy losing his phone out the back of a white two seater plane. He was hilarious in the range of emotions he displayed on a rear facing video camera. Maybe the same story?

That is such a sweet story. Definitely a "doom break!"

I've had a couple of "pen pals" over the years. One of
mine from the UK sent me a photo of Paul McCartney with
an autograph on the pic. It was a prized pen pal treasure
for years until it got "pinched" by an old room mate.

I had to laugh years later when I found the autographs
were done by a MACHINE and not by the hand of any of the
Beetles. Maybe if the signature were from the "real Paul"
who supposedly died in a car wreck in 1966 and DIFFERENT
from the signature of the "NEW PAUL" after 1966...then it
might be valuable even if done by a signature machine.
(Haven't ever seen that checked out in the many reports
about proof on the real versus the imposter "Paul.")

I miss getting letters and mail in the mailbox now...seems
a lost art with the internet/cell phones taking over. There
is no substitute for a real letter over an email...just
not the same!

Thanks for the thread, kiddo! Good stuff!

You got me to thinking... I sold my darkroom equipment (I could process 22 chemical step Ektachrome color film and Kodak 'Recording Film' motion picture film at home) and cameras around 1995 and went all digital after that.

I have 95 GB of photos online in both Microsoft and Google's clouds for redundancy and 1,000 GB space in the Microsoft Govcloud that I won't use because I work for the Gov and I don't trust us.

How times have changed.
