Am I seeing things or is the man in the background directing? Who would have thought 60 years later, someone would notice.

Of all the beautiful, useful, unusual, intelligent and wonderful items on the blog, this gets the most attention. Makes a person wonder about the mentality of the human race. Just love it. Wonder what a moon shot would bring out?
