love is blue

Love is blue · Paul Mauriat

This song came up on my stream tonight. Always a memory triggered.

1968, I was a child, and my mother and I arrived early to downtown Greensboro for shopping.

I think it was Meyer’s Department Store. We arrived a few minutes before opening, but they let us in anyway.

I didn’t know the name of the song playing in the store, but I knew I liked it and it was on the radio a lot. Love is blue · Paul Mauriat.

The music system was turned up loud, I guess to rev up the store and employees for the day. The store was lit up and glittering, the music was roaring. Beautiful. My mom and I both liked it a lot.

Nice for a song to bring her memory back to me. Today marks her birthday.

time for some soviets

Just arrived. My new old watch from the USSR. Brian finds these things on eBay.

suspicious packages

28 days ago my election influencer kit arrived from the Ukraine.


Today, this one arrives from Krasnodar, Russia. Good stamps!


I’m supposed to take it to the Tiger Mart on Battleground and leave it in the cooler on top of the Klondikes. I hope they don’t mind if a take a couple for my trouble.


It rattles like metal. Might be pipeline parts.

Vito’s take-out for me. It’s all mine.

I’d love to be driving that Ford in Mexico City. 1978.


We got some places to see
I brought all the maps with me
So jump in, it ain’t no sin
Take a ride in my machine

sotb breakfast

Favorite leisurely breakfast on a day off from work. Mixture of Rice Krispies and Cheerios with soy and honey all in my favorite worn South of the Border mug.

germany in colombia

I was watching a vid of a yummy German in Colombia speaking Spanish like a boss, and I thought, “uh huh, you got a fetish going on. I bet you got those direct and indirect objects down in a single night.” 🤣

greta

“Greta ” is popular in the USA because America loves a scolding child.

pollo frito

Chicken white combo at Smithfield.

Perfect presentation.

margs

We only do this for celebrations and special occasions. La Bamba restaurant on State Street has a really nice bar all the way in the back. It’s absolutely beautiful.

The restaurant is quite old but still a classy act all the way.
