Ten years ago seems about right, but I’m not absolutely certain. I have a great shot of Hale-Bopp over Pilot Mountain, a sort of unusual looking mountain standing well away from any others, a “monadnock.” Had the photo enlarged and framed, it’s on my fireplace mantle.

Now, be nice, lol. Ol’ Roy’ll turn it around eventually.

Well, I didn’t really think it would make any list. I just wanted to include ya cause I don’t know if OP ping ya very much.

That makes me a little jealous. I wish I would have had a good camera back then. Or even now for that matter. I would have liked some good personal photos of Hale-Bopp.

There were several good photos from that night. It's a striking visual, even inspired a painting or two.

This perspective is looking westward from the vicinity of King, NC toward the mountain.

Outpatients? Around here? All the time. ;’)

Nice. Thanks for sharing that.

I kinda meant that really famous brand of cigarettes. Best dang cig on the planet. If you are going to smoke it might as well be Other Peeples cigarettes.
