    Interesting photos--I think we should dig out some western Christmas photos--if I had time I'd see if I couldn't find one of a church in Eureka, NV decorated for the holidays in the 1880s... Have a Merry Christmas!

    That jail house looks like the storage shed behind the church in the town that's no longer there, my original hometown.
