It looks like it would scurry for cover when the kitchen lights are turned on.

I really think the "pocket" wheels are cool. I tune a black one that has those recessed wheels...

I don't know about the piano, but that baby is so goofy and yucky that he's kind of adorable.

I thought so, too. When I first found the image, I didn't even notice the piano for a bit. In spite of what I say otherwise, little babies like that so full of first-found emotion really sucker me right in.

This little guy reminds me of my brother in my earliest memories.

Where does one obtain mikes like those? I've never seen 'em before!

Here's an old square someone on PW is trying to identify. No name apparently, only a serial number. I thought it looked interesting...

It sparkles!

... so the best place to put it? In a mirrored room!

Oh, and the little guy at the piano - "Mr. Rogers"
