I've heard from certain sources over the years that the best way to look forward to the future is to take a look at the past.
I'm not sure who said this or if there is any empirical evidence to support it, but I had nothing better to do at lunch yesterday. So I headed to an antique shop near where I work to check out what cool swag they had and to age myself a bit more. Yeah, there was plenty of crap down there that I remember from my childhood that is still WAY too recent to be considered "antique."
But the reminiscing was kinda fun. As was the photography. Check some of this stuff out (the entire album is available on Flickr)...
