  8. I don't know if I think they look like tough guys. They might *be* tough guys, but right now they look just a tad petulant, like they have to go to mom's house for dinner and she nags them about not being married or eating their greens.

    A couple of them have rather shifty eyes, but they do have a lot of personality! I imagine they get into some weird adventures. Interesting as always!

  9. Poor Sharon. She needs to grow her hair out and wear more make-up.. but even that won't help. I can see her driving tractors in a field, but that's about it.

    Funny one, Rod!

  10. Aren't these guys living in South Dakota, and a distant relation to the Mt. Rushmore four?... Or are they in west England and call themselves the mid-age fab four?

    Regardless of their ancestry, their expression indicates there's little they've not "done there, been that" to. And they're not looking for new thrills either.
    Nice subtle variances in expression.
