Cameramail

I got the idea to send a camera through the mail from Kyle Van Horn (and he got it from P22) and decided to try it myself!

The first camera traveled from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Honolulu, Hawaii, collecting a total of seven pictures on its way. I couldn’t have hoped for a better set of photos! The Postal Service sure does move fast.

I ended up trying three more cameramail packages to Washington, to Japan, and to Masschusetts (all three when I was living in Hawaii) but never heard back.

John Elway And The Drive

I was never much of an Elway fan, but I’m watching the NFL Network special on ‘The Drive’ and a few things stood out.

  • The Dawg Pound sure was a special old school football place to play, and it had a gigantic Marlboro Man advertisement.
  • Linemen were a lot smaller.
  • The kickers are kicking with the straight ahead approach, today you only see soccer style and I can’t think of the last time I saw a straight approach kicker.
  • Bill Cowher is shown as an assistant coach for the Browns.

Interesting Fact About The U.S. Senate

Something I never knew . . .

Originally, senators were selected by the state legislatures, not by popular elections. By the early years of the 20th century, the legislatures of as many as 29 states had provided for popular election of senators by referendums.[16] Popular election to the Senate was standardized nationally in 1913 by the ratification of the 17th Amendment.
