Among the things retrieved Saturday were copies of Dad's photos. He didn't take as many as I do (which surprises me - I thought he was more into photography - I suppose because he introduced me to it and I love it so, but I take more photos most of hte time). But he still took more than he put up. Partly I suspect this was respect for Mom's privacy (and/or mine, but as he knew I didn't care, I doubt that applied), but mostly it probably had to do with the whole dial-up connection. Anyway, I've uploaded (to my Flickr account) a bunch of photos from a backup of 2000-2001 photos. Quite a few cats, a few around the house, a couple of me and Dad, and several of Mom. They are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/archives/date-posted/2007/01/01 - where, I should note, there are two pages of them, and 54 photos. (I tried not to upload too many that were similar, for the most part, though I erred on the side of uploading the ones that people were in, when I wasn't sure if they were 'too similar'.)

A few links from Dad's stuff that I thought were generally neat (there may be more of these in the future):
http://www.grouchyoldcripple.com/archives/003867.html - a bad (good) pun. Dad read this site a fair bit (a fact I first learned when I recommended Time Goes By to him - Ronni, the author of that blog, sometimes has posts from 'crabby old lady' up there - and I mentioned that to him and he asked if I'd seen this blog).
http://www.petegoldlust.com/carvedcrayons.html# - just a cool bit of weirdness - carved crayons
http://knuttz.net/hosted_pages/Classic-Cars-20061204 - classic cars, "pimped out". Dad loved classic cars, a fact I'd forgotten until seeing some photos on his hard drive. Not in the sense of going to conventions all the time, but he'd smile, recognize them, be pleased if he saw one in passing, and he'd look at pictures of them quite happily.
