Flickr Fun

Well, I explored Flickr, took the tour. It seems like a great site for managing your pictures. More importantly, it will preserve your pictures should the unimaginable happen and the hard copies and hard drive copies in your home be destroyed. I was also relieved to learn that you retain copyright to your personal photos. I was hesitant to post any on the web for that reason.
Another unintended consequence is the ability to find photos of families that share your surnames. I must investigate further to see how I can contact them. Perhaps new cousins will be discovered. Obviouly, this only works for more unusual surnames - not Smith and Jones!
