    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Careful. Buzz is still out there.

    USS Hornet

    Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum. I intended to put it up earlier. Incredible images from over 3 miles deep...

    Vintage Appliances

    Those RCA machines sold for 50-80,000 dollars new. That's a bunch of money in mid-60s dollars. Like all technology, most ended up as scrap in a few years.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    We watched a lot of Doc Martin a couple years ago but drifted on to other things. We both enjoyed it and need to put it back in the rotation.

    Today in History

    There is a fair number of pro athletes in every sport who would benefit greatly from a little farm labor.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I may have vented my spleen on this before, but if so I'm going to do it again because my gears were ground about it again this morning. Bank tellers who bark like auctioneers selling pie in a high school gymnasium. It's not like I am doing million dollar deals at the teller window, but this...

    In the USA the only thing commonly traded in kilos would be cocaine.

    Sears Home Kits and Building Plans

    I have given some thought as to what I would do if my wife would precede me in leaving this mortal coil. The tiny house idea has a definite appeal.

    ^^^ Sounds like it's right up my alley. :D I will watch for it over here.

    Sears Home Kits and Building Plans

    I'm sure there are markets where that might work, but not here. It looks like a house trailer and I can purchase a fair percentage of frame homes here for $86,000 already built and ready for occupancy that somebody will be living in long after my lamp goes out.

    Sears Home Kits and Building Plans

    Carlinville Illinois has an entire addition to the town built of Sears homes. They were built by Standard Oil to house people who worked for their coal mines. The mines only lasted a few years and the houses were mostly abandoned until Standard sold them off. They sold cheap and were fixed up...

    Vintage neon signs

    That woman could easily be my maternal grandmother. My granddad loved to take pictures of their travels and he would put her in them. She wasn't a particularly nice person to begin with and photography did not hide that fact in the least.

    Sears Home Kits and Building Plans

    There was one of the ten room models shown in the article about 3 miles from where I sit typing this. It was disassembled and hauled to Wisconsin some years ago to be mated with a twin there to make a small mansion. I have no idea how the project turned out, but I was glad someone bought the...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    True. However I live in an agricultural area in the middle of nowhere. We have no huge chain markets and we know people who work in all of the stores. They can tell you what comes from where with the exception of Walmart. As far as lunch meats and cheese, etc. go I can drive to the places where...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    ^^^ I was not aware until a few days ago that Oscar Mayer was now owned by the conglomerate of Kraft Heinz. Sorry Oscar, our ham and cheese loaf relationship is over. I have not been happy with Kraft for some while for multiple reasons, but was also unaware that Heinz, who I despise, was also in...

    In what may be a small victory, I have not seen the 22 slice package of cheese since I originally posted this. I hope the negative feedback was sufficiently fiery that whoever signed off on this idea still has blisters on their backside.

    Exactly so. Garland's homemade signs all rhymed properly but were not as polite.

    Old gas stations

    There is a Sinclair dino at the entrance to the mini golf and batting cages in town. I have no idea where it came from. It has always maintained its proper shade of green until last year when somebody decided it should be pink with brown spots. I feel so bad for the poor thing standing there...

    It looks like Robert has 5 pounds stuffed into a 4 pound sack in his sales area.
