Finally sold our 1958 Elvis Presley 7" 45 EP of gospel songs, to one of the best record (vinyl) stores in the United States.

Somewhere in the mess of lingering papers, bags, and boxes is my #bulletjournal. Not having it handy nor knowing where it is is like having a runny nose and no facial tissue.

Found our _Mondo 2000's Guide to the New Edge_, very good condition.

I envy, right now, those who prefer #television to #books. One TV = one unit to move. We have seven-eight boxes of books, and that's after discarding 30% of our stock.

Either I am not great enough for retro.social #mastodon instance, or retro.social is not great enough for me

Packing discoveries: a handwritten letter to me from Evan Dorkin, "Ben Is Dead" final issue, #Mondo2000 Issue 12, 2004 Seattle Times sports column featuring me (I am no athlete).

@tomasino Oh geez, I better research for my Death Pool trade. i learned of Billy Zoom only two weeks ago!

Let's watch an old Novell television #commercial with Windows, Mac, and #Linux!

@lugh Quebec I put on first.

Any #Ween fans care to suggest which #album to listen to while we're packing?

@xmanmonk the final "Opening Soon in Northgate" made us laugh out loud

Final days in our house:
"Boil's Bankruptcy Sale"

@tomasino In storage now are my framed 1925 "The Gold Rush" music sheet covers: "With You Dear, in Bombay" and "Sing A Song," both Chaplin compositions.

@tomasino Wowee! I've never heard/paid attention to that music! (It is a platinum moment when I am introduced to Charlie stuff)

Sept 13 1952, Richard Avedon photo portrait of Charlie Chaplin, New York, just before he headed to exile in Switzerland

excerpt from the novel I'm reading, _I'll Sell You a Dog_ by Juan Pablo Villalobos:

"I bring yuh the Word of the Lard,' he said.

"Great," I replied. "How much per ounce?"

A NYT Xword I co-solved this weekend had a clue "where the battles of Ladysmith and Kimberley were fought" and I thought "What? BC had a civil war?" Turns out it was THEBOERWAR, and Canadians had some victories there; possibly the interior cities were named for them.

@dokuja Rotten. Chains like Town & Country Markets and Trader Joe's play Talk Talk and a-ha! I know where I'd prefer to shop.

Why do supermarket chains play dreadful pop music when they can have these glorious tracks to revive?

@nonlinear thank you for not leaving me to believe I was the last person on earth to learn that 😁
