I LOVE that!

It would make a great Edward Hopper painting!

Or, put the lady from "Christina's World" on the hillside.

Anyway, thanks for posting that cool pic.

According to Newegg, the image is titled "Bliss".

I played defensive and offensive end for the Terra Nova Tigers during my high school years. One of the rival schools, So. San Francisco had the only HS with lights for night games and across the street was the the only MacDonald's on the SF Peninsula. If one of the upcoming opposing teams was scheduled to play them we would go to the game and on the way in or out I would buy 4 cheese burgers and 2 fries for $1. Of course I had 0 period PE where I ran and lifted weights and football practice in the the afternoon, so no issues. After marriage to a wonderful cook ... well that's another chapter.

So, there I was, wondering aimlessly through the backwaters of the world wide web*, when I stumbled upon this, which was heretofore unknown to me.
