Who is the guy in the picture and how did he get there? There were no
mirrors or reflecting surfaces where/when I took the picture. Is he a
leprechaun or one of their minions? Ooooooooo!
(Black Irish tee hee)

He sang every hour. Great tenor voice. (I've sen him @ Brittingham's

Saul High School

Saul High School, originally uploaded by ujima.

This is a Philadelphia public school for agricultural sciences. It's further down on the
street from where I live. When I was a kid, it was called the Farm School. I love seeing
the cows, horses and other animals in the field as I ride by on the bus!
Their exhibit was called Gallic Gateway.
