    LOL, Sylvia. I like your aging hippies take this week. We actually live 12 miles from a town called Cool, California. Hope you're having a fun weekend.

    Great, Slyvia. A lot of us old timers are still looking for something out of the 1960's. I found mine in 'Light my fire' sung by Jim Morrison.

    I love this. I still find it hard to believe there is a place called Coolville. It cracks me up.

    Back to the 40's go I, when everything was "neat-or-neat-o" I'm still looking for "Neatsville".

    Your 60's "cool" is great, and these ARE fun! Thank you,
