I started getting chat group texts last week from a number that had sent scam/phishing phone calls in the past. Also someone apparently hacked the Maryland toll files and sent me notice of unpaid toll requiring payment by CC before midnight or I could lose big time.
NOTE: If a bird has the bird flue it can be safely eaten if cooked with a temperature reaching 160°F throughout.
The toll scam has been going around. Not just Maryland. Local news in PA warned about it - I got the email about 6-8 months ago.

That's because your camera is too old. Come on man get with the 20th century.

Hahaha. Don't forget to "wave" it around for a few seconds to dry! I think that was about the time you were supposed to do it, heck too old to remember that.

Nope, waving it around was the earlier models. Where you applied lacquer from a little applicator to the photo and then waved it around to dry it. Sx70 film, you didn't have to wave around. If it was cold out you put it under your arm to keep it warm. The warmth help develop the picture.
Yes that picture is from 1987 the camera is from 1974. That was my Taurus.

Yeah bad idea. There's a pending recall on the thermoculator and how in specific circumstances it will ignite the farocoupler, causing a rapid unplanned disassembly of the vehicle and everything within approximately a half mile.

That's why the rear camera's operation is so crucial. It's difficult to identify victims based on only their shadow remaining.

It's called a far o coupler because the o is code for how far you need to be if it pops off. a= 1 ft, b= 2 ft, .... O = 15 ft... 🤗

Yeah, you are right! I remember the old one and waving that picture! Nice station wagon! We had a couple back in the day. The "SUV" of the time and they were actually very useful. Liked the El Camino also, but never had one.

And within four minutes I just took a screenshot of what you posted.
Cropped the screenshot and posted it.
While seated in my niece's driveway waiting for her to home from the airport so I can drop off her dog.
I got a camera, computer and more at my beck and call in my shirt pocket.

Mr. Kelpie misses your niece, looking out the window for that special moment.

I've had somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 plus vehicles.
Including motorcycles, ATV, snow machines, boats and planes but mostly cars and trucks.
Sadly, I don't have pictures of all of them.
Here are some from the past.
