Girl eating pie

What's really delicious about this picture of a girl eating a slice of pie, is it was taken 109 years ago (1899).

Love the old pictures...Among mine, is my Great great grandfather taken, I estimate, around 1860.

You do a great service. I remember when some tech problem almost convinced you to end C&S, and I was sad, but I believe that the influence of any blog is measured by the quality of the thought, and I think you are changing the world.

What will a history Prof have to say about the Internet in 2018? Will it be as large as the effect of there copy machine on the former USSR? A relative of a friend used my NYC apt in those days and she purchased blue jeans and a photocopy machine to take back (how did she get it past customs - maybe the jeans purchased the free speach)

sorry, I cry foul... Her sleeve has a cuff that looks all the world like a sweatshirt cuff. She is very cute though.

The things she saw .. from Kitty Hawk to a man on the moon. The innocence of youth just enjoying the pleasures of life encapsulated. The smile of sharing a tasty treat. Humanity in all its beauty.
