What I really loved about this link was the other link it led me to, the awesome Square America Snapshots (http://www.squareamerica.com). Always loved seeing other people's pics and these are fantastic! So, thanks again to the fab Neatorama for giving me two great links in one post!

One of his rules should be to grow a beard. Every man should, at least once. I love old-fashioned advice. It reminds me that not everyone in the world is rude these days.
