I think I am related to one of them! Grandpa always said I was half irish and half mule!! Just for your information I got BOTH halves from him!

 

[crazyjarhead]

Looks like some hard times

 

[badoscar]

Can't imagine life then. Everything he owns is probably on that mule's back

 

[terryo]

Hard times indeed....I wonder where he plugs in his mp3 and cell phone into?

 

[badoscar]

mp3's and blackberries were steam powered then....you silly goose.
