For some reason lost to history there are a very large number of photos of President Hackerman in the files, enough so that I’ve gradually noticed some themes begin to develop. (My earlier “Obsolete Technology + Norman Hackerman” post shows what I mean.)

Bonus: I felt a small chill yesterday when I saw some guys surveying the lot I park in.
