<p>Satchel Paige's six rules for life:</p>
<ol>
<li>Avoid fried meats, which angry up the blood;</li>
<li>If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts;</li>
<li>Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move;</li>
<li>Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain't restful.</li>
<li>Avoid running at all times.</li>
<li>Don't look back, something may be gaining on you.</li>

<p>The <a href="http://imgur.com/a/wapUe">colorized images</a> do seem more emotive to my eye.  They seem to have more depth and presence.  So what is it about B&amp;W photos that we sometimes describe as preferable? The lack of these things?</p>
