friend memory from way back

I put on some E. Power Biggs (concert organist) because I was thinking about a friend I had when I was in high school who was a fan. We used to sit and listen. The friend could repair pipe organs and traveled a lot doing it.

He also had a huge Chrysler that he had converted to run off propane (or some type of bottled gas). There was a huge cylinder of it in the trunk. When riding in it, I often wondered if there was an explosion risk.

He also liked treasure hunting with a metal detector.

He could also repair CB radios.

The entire family was strange. If you flushed the toilet in their house, you had to wait with it until it filled and stopped. lol.

I was always attracted to the weird and the strange.

the moon of allstate

Why is Allstate using a lunar rover on the moon to advertise a car insurance app and having the rover launch over the rim of a crater which would have resulted in a horrible crash?

Commercials don’t have to make sense, but this one gives me the creeps.

Also gives me the creeps: Joe Namath’s blinding white false teeth in whatever the hell he’s advertising.

watches

I’ve never been an expensive watch person. When I saw these low-priced Armitrons looking so cute, I had to get me a couple.

Both are nice, but I’m especially fond of the retro digital.

treats from bux

I got off work early, then Brian comes home with treats. Latte and a frap.

This might actually help me get through some of them.

radiomg for somafm

What a beautiful app for a favorite streaming radio station. RadiOMG for SomaFM.

blue moons at the garden

Beer! These things are good. 🍻

bland pizza

So absolutely devoid of flavor that you would think it was Papa John’s. 😝

The application of Texas Pete mildly saved it.

randy arco iris

My straight friends are the ones who say they enjoy Randy Rainbow SO MUCH. I can hardly stand to look at it.
