"FEEL-GOOD SHOT" #1
Link - by Avi Abrams

      Anything for a Ray of Sunshine!

      Welcome to the first issue of Dark Roasted Blend's
      "Feel-Good" online magazine, designed to make you feel - well,
      good, and to bring back fun and color to the good old (and often
      stale) internet. 
      
      These "feel-good shots" will be mostly short and sweet
      collections of images - bright, shiny and innocent enough to propel you
      along your day with a smile on your face and a spring in your gait.
       
      Consider it as a Tumbler-substitute for the caffeinated, busy crowd with
      deeply-felt and sophisticated sensibilities.... plus some link love,
      mmmmmm-mm, yes. Of course, these issues are not going to take away from
      our regular articles, Link Latte and Biscotti series - they are
      additional, something extra, an icing on the cake. 
      
      They are highly subjective in taste, of course, so you are welcome to disagree on what we
      consider "Cute", "Best", or even "Attractive". Write us comments about all
      that - and about other fantastically uplifting stuff you discover.

No, Some Guy on the Innernets.
The lighting is fine. There are two moons in the picture, which is the screwey part.

So that is what Chewbacca looked like when he was a kid... Who would have thought. Oh and thank you for the last several years of laughs. Please keep them coming. The stories and pictures of odd places rock. I have actually travelled to find some of these and will search for more as time goes by..... Thank you DRB
