Vacation! "Greatest" Pics...

I'm finally on some much needed R&R, but first some EconomPic housekeeping....

First of all, it's very humbling to realize that this many people read my blog on a daily basis. I'm guessing it was the readers that motivated me to post 20+ entries per week. Exciting stuff, and very fun, but WAY too time consuming. Going forward, expect more from less (though knowing me that won't last long)...

Anyhow.... for those of you new to the site, take a look at some posts from the past...
