http://grande25.myphotoalbum.com for Woody's pics.

Here's my take:

Woody,

I give you my sincere gratitude for sending me those pictures. I think you are very considerate for doing what you have done. However, I'm not sure what you mean by proving credibility. Showing someone pictures does not make you credible. What makes you credible is consistent integrity over a long period of time. I am not saying that you aren't credible. What I'm saying is that you have to take everything you get from these boards rather it be text, links, or photos with a grain of salt. So with that said, until we meet in person, shake hands, have a beer, talk about SLJB, business, etc etc etc... you know.. it just takes a lot more than some text and pictures to really establish credibility.

So, Thanks for the pictures. Now some background on my self. I have about 15 years experience in reviewing military intelligence photos. Most of it was practical work in the field and more recently I've completed some undergraduate level coursework. What I'm saying is that I'm critical in what I look at.

You sent me a picture of the closed Harrow location with the gate up. Yes, I read the PR. I know they closed. Thank you for the picture.

You sent me pictures of the open SAM's/Sulja location showing empty cargo/flatbed trucks. There were at least two of these pictures where people were actually in the parking lot talking to eachother. Nice timing I guess... Or they are so busy that you just happened to cruise by when there were people outside being busy. I like the idea that there were people outside just by coincidence... makes think that it's not just a fluke since it was that way in at least two of the pics you sent me. Also, there was a red truck "custon inullation". It was active since it was at two locations in the parking lot from two different pics. This is also good, shows that the business is networking and working with other building supply chains.

It was odd to me that you always took pictures from a moving car (except Tecumseh). It's just a whole can of worms for questions. I know you are capable of getting out of the car because of the pics you showed me of the Tecumseh location. I could see what looked to be a reasonably fit male wearing a #34 sports t-shirt? But hey, I know how it is... or I know how I am. I tend to recoil from public scenes too. That's just the way I am. If you want to take pics from moving cars and take pictures at locations when they are closed for business, no problem. fine.

The bottom line IMO is that the pictures you took show just what Frenchy's pictures showed, albeit from different vantage points. That is, pictures that show a functional and legitimate business. Now we have to wait for SLJB to show us the MONEY.. errr I mean AF's to really verify all the claims since the LFWK days.

Thank you again for the pictures. If I've offended you in any way, I apologize sincerely. I hope you, me and other posters here can all talk about this some day over a beer and some pretzels :)
