An afternoon with Sid.
With a hat nearly 20 years old atop his head and a washer in his mouth, lifelong bachelor Sid Snow, 84, of Lynchburg, Va., keeps busy by working with his hands, ballroom dancing, gardening and church. Sid has lived on the same street his entire life and somewhat wishes he had married and had children, for his family is dying out. "If you put a lot in life, you get a lot out of it," Sid told me.


Powerwheel races. This kid won the first of two powerwheel races held at the Piney River Moose Lodge 2032 in Nelson County, Va. After winning the race, his dad gave him the checkered flag and told him to do a victory lap backwards around the track "like Jeff Gordon."
