    Out Your Back Door

    New town gallows in progress?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I got a postcard a while back telling me that I needed to call in to update my contact information for an aviation organization that I actually pay dues to. I ignored it until I got a reminder card. When I called I found that it was a scam to sell an overpriced book. They sent me an email survey...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watching a pretty decent copy on YouTube right now. It was put up by TheHeik if anybody's interested in seeing it.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I always feel sorry for a dog that has been saddled with a buffoon for a human. They deserve better.

    Today in History

    Funny how that works isn't it. Same can be said for a lot of our miseries we would like to think are somebody else's fault.

    Old gas stations

    And that sucks as bad as anything I can think of.

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    Our small town dime store had a Matchbox display that turned. Each car was in a little window and there were a bunch of the little compartments on all four sides. You would choose your car and the clerk would get it out from a space in the center of the display. As mentioned above, they were...

    Folding chairs to attend concerts, beach activities

    Google "Alps Mountaineering King Kong". I don't have one, but I have seen them and they look far better than the run of the mill bag chair. They are a little spendy, but they might be well worth it to be comfortable.

    Today in History

    I've always thought the most ironic show on that day that CBS didn't want you to miss was Portia Faces Life. There were a whole bunch of kids on the coast of France who could have given Portia Blake a run for her money that day.

    Vintage neon signs

    There's a grocery store in a nearby town that has actual Broaster chicken. It is far better than anything the sorry remains of Colonel Sanders company has produced since Harland left the building. I could poison myself on the livers if I ate as many as I'd like to.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It is universal. If I had a dollar for every example of rubber spinery that I have witnessed since being employed by a municipality I could retire and never have to witness another. It goes along with all of the shady s*#t that goes on in the background that nobody is ever supposed to hear...

    I'm not sure there's a difference.

    You know you are getting old when:

    A former coworker of mine had a pretty good theory about such people. They have everything in the world and there's nothing left for them so they end up going insane. There are levels of insanity of course, but he thought that nearly all of the super wealthy were mentally ill. Stories like this...

    Aunt Sammy - Housekeeper's Chat

    I don't know of anywhere that has the program. Aunt Sammy was voiced by many different women. USDA provided the script but each station had their own local Aunt Sammy so there was probably no archive of recordings to save. The recipe books are still available but unfortunately the voice of Aunt...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Crime Story. A Michael Mann product from the late '80s set in 1963 starring Dennis Farina as a Chicago cop chasing the mob. I watched it when it originally aired and enjoyed it despite its flaws. Not much has changed. Enjoy it for what it is and suspend your tendency to notice details that don't...

    Skirts were required for girls in my home school district until around 1976.

    Weedeater

    Milwaukee has an outstanding battery string trimmer and blower that run on the same batteries as their other tools. Worth a look if you are starting from scratch.

    ^^^ I have observed that many of the purists and stitch counters have never themselves put the effort into restoring or owned the items that they so freely criticize others about. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the only one who matters is the joker paying the bills.

    Any Other Fiestaware junkies on here?

    My wife has quite a bit of her grandparents Fiestaware. We have also put together our everyday dishes from modern pieces bought on sale at different times. There's not a huge difference in the old and new (other than the radioactivity :D) but I tend to prefer the original colors.
