ih8music Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I hope I don’t have to broach this topics with my three and six year old who adored him Ugh, that's terrible. Death is hard enough to explain to young kids, but I don't know how you're supposed to explain suicide. Although I suppose that's a detail they don't need to know right now. Regardless, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Today I scored an original vinyl pressing of The Byrds "Sweetheart of the Radio". I've been trying to find that one for ever. Really clean copy, 3 bucks!Also got a mint copy of Dire Straights "Making Movies". Side A of that record is about as perfect as you can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Psst, I'll let you in on a secret......estate sales......you wouldnt believe the records I've gotten at estate sales over the last few years. Prices are bumping up a bit (like from $1 to $3) but are still very reasonable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yeah I should look into that. A first pressing in good shape would have easily been a $30 record in a store. Estate sales are better than my idea of getting a time machine and going to thrift stores in the late 90s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Today, I am in Arlington, TX for a Cowboys game. My wife has been a fan her whole life and never seen a home game, so... Last night we had fantastic tacos at Papaya Mexican Grill in Arlington. I little hole in the wall, and even though we got there late and maybe kept them from wrapping up their night, they were so great and accommodating! Any Dallas area people, check them out! Heading to Dealey Plaza soon. #oswaldactedalone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Today, I'm thinking about the one in a lifetime experience me and my family shared last night. We were able to see hundreds and hundreds of Monarch butterflies roosting in the trees of a nearby forest. This doesn't ordinarily happen in the Midwest but the theory is that hurricane Florence disrupted the migration of eastern and southeastern monarchs and pushed them here. A very peaceful and otherworldly experience. We may go back tonite to experience it again. For those interested, its in Midewin Prairie, near the Iron Bridge parking lot.
