While I’m still busy busy and thinky thinky, here’s another cool old photos link for you:
America in the 1930s — in color!
One of the pictures was taken in Tucson. Cool!
But as I look at these pictures, I wonder — am I the only person who finds himself thinking of that old Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin’s dad explains to him why old photos are in black and white?

Oh yeah, I got shorpy in my Google Reader. I loooooove that site (particularly loving that they’ve had a couple AMAZING Luna Park photos from 1909 over the last couple of weeks. Just stunning pictures).
