Columbus Wisconsin 1907 Photographer: Unknown

blast from the past

I know this "breaks the rules" of the topic because it's not my image… it was found in the
online archives of the Wisconsin State Historical Society. But to the right of the train depot
*is* the house I grew up in. At the time of the photo it was only one year old. The depot building
seen here in the foreground is very similar today to what it was 102 years ago. My childhood home
has only changed slightly.

Why all this preface and begging for forgiveness then? Well, in a few weeks I plan to revise this
posting in a very interesting way. So if you can bear with me until then all will be revealed. :]
