[Leica] The Codger Pole

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Interesting images, Aram, and a good story, but I see that Colfax's 
reservoirs' of Truth, Justice and the American Way fell 9,040 dollars 
short of the promise to Mr. Labenne for his "superb talent and whimsy": 
it must be a town founded by carpetbaggers.

Going on the story, you should offer Mr Labenne a lift back to Colfax 
and bring along a few boxes of matches while you're at it. It would make 
a great photo essay.
