Here are a few photos from the week I took off recently to hang out with my brother, Rick, and our longtime friend, Peter, who were visiting from Florida. I showed them some of the "best of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan" in this too-brief visit but we sure had lots of fun in a short time...

David, Rick & Peter: The three horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Ben Franklin and his protege, Rick Yonke.

David at the wheel of his sweet Swedish Saab.

A couple of real dummies...

Lookalikes: David and and his pet schnoodle Scotty.

Dwarfed by a steam locomotive -- made in Lima, Ohio -- at the Henry Ford Museum.

The view from the Perry Monument at Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island in Lake Erie.
