Wow nice. I'm a little unsure of what I'm looking at though. Is the picture in the lower right just "squashed" and the one in the upper left is the actual format (the unusual long look of it).

Not sure what is squashed, but the top photo (if this is in response to my post) is a Black and White of Oscar Wilde

The lower picture is from the movie "The Picture of Dorian Gray" which was released in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2009 starring Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray, a character, it is said, to have been a depiction of Oscar Wilde, himself.

Author Oscar Wilde

Actor Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray

Its a limited edition copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray signed by Oscar Wilde from The Antiques Roadshow Facebook page. I have no idea if they cropped any of the photos or not. But the person who brought that book into the show apparently got it for cheap.

      About to head up to Roseville to return this rental and pick up my truck from the auto shop.  It is supposedly sporting a newly fabricated frame rail...I don't think they are referred to as "chassis" anymore as I see the confusion in shop owner's eyes when they ask me if I'm looking for "body work?".   But I do find it interesting that I told the owner that I worked direct with OEM parts and yet he still wrote me up an invoice with overpriced OEM parts from companies I used to host at the place I used to work for.  With that said, I'm expecting a stellar job for the amount I paid.   ...else, there will be some talk negotiations.

      ~~~~~ Definitely wishing you luck.  Do enjoy yourselves.   But I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was does roadside assistance reach the desert? 😬

      ~~~~~ Yeah, it's like something happened to my metabolism this past Winter and when I came out of hibernation, that AARP Join Request started looking like something to check into.

      This 👆 definitely goes with what I said in my other post - getting old sucks. Seems like *everything* takes longer and takes more energy out of me than it used to. Really need to work on my diet and exercise, I've found the older I get, the more important those things have really become...
