May, 1939. Between Tulare and Fresno on U.S. 99. Farmer from Independence, Kansas, on the road at cotton chopping time. He and his family have been in California for six months.

We produced a slideshow of images from 1930s Fresno today, and coming across this gentleman's good-natured smile again made me think about the ways folks are handling today's difficult economy. By the way, I really do look at 21st-century picturesI guess today just turned into "old picture Friday."
