More on the stroller thing.... I was in my favorite gun shop today and
they had a three-wheel stroller in dark green with a gun rack and other
interesting accessories. I have a little trouble with the concept of taking
babies hunting if someone is really serious about doing that. Even shooting
without hunting isn't very compatible with little babies. Their inner ears
are tender and can be easily injured. Many years ago a local lady was
holding her baby on her chest when her husband returned from hunting. He
waited until he was in the house to unload the rifle. It went off and a
bullet ricocheted off two walls and hit the baby in the head, killing her. I
like my guns but using them carries a big responsibility and stupidity with
them can exact a heavy toll. Sometimes a gun is needed for protection but
babies and shooting sports need to be separated. Take the babies on a photo
trip instead. My little ones started camping young. The pic is my daughter
on her first camping trip at the age of 8 weeks. There was a cougar
bothering people and animals in the area so the gun was kept close by and
mama knew how to shoot it.

Congrats!!
I've just been reliving the past a bit in a tin box full of cardboard
boxes of old slides and was just looking at some pics of my first born
when he was 4 weeks old. He now has kids that are 3 and 5 years old. I
wouldn't want to start the kid thing again now, but I'm sure glad I did
it back then!
I just scanned in some slides from 1970, 1 roll of Kodachrome and 1 of
Ektachrome. I don't see any difference in state of preservation, so my
ad hoc storage solution must be pretty decent. Pretty poorly organized,
though.
