Waiting for me to refill the feeders.

College digs

50 years ago: This is an interior shot of where I lived while attending college. $115 a month during spring and fall semesters, $85 a month during the summer semester. Fully furnished! I added the Flokati rug which I purchased when living on Crete. The bathroom was off the kitchen, just past the fridge on the left. You can see my entertainment center on the floor. An AM/FM/Shortwave radio. Photo was taken from my living room that had a beat-up couch and a coffee table inlaid with cigarette burns from the previous occupant. Pretty nice, huh? 

UPDATE: 02.15.25 -- I just looked up this apartment on Zillow and it now rents for $549 a month. And here is a line in the description that really would seal the deal to a prospective renter, "The Building Is Even Situated So You Can Look Outside And See Your Car In The Parking Lot." Sign me up!

The Hole

“So, what you’re telling me is … you were on a call when you dropped your phone. It bounced twice and then disappeared down this hole. Then you attempted to retrieve it by shoving your arm in the hole. At which time, your wedding ring slipped off your finger and vanished into the darkness. And now, that squeaky voice we hear echoing up, from who knows where, is your agitated wife demanding you answer her now, or else. Do I have that right?” 

“No. The phone only bounced once.”

Why take a train, when you can fly?

 

Time Tunnel

And just like that, Edna and Myrtle’s Christmas wish came true as they were suddenly grabbed and pulled through the Time Tunnel back to the days of their youth. Their husbands, Roy and Larry, would not file missing persons reports until well after the college football playoffs concluded.

Blues Brothers sighting!

 

Early Voting

Georgia added a new twist to their early voting. On the way in they give you a clothespin for your nose, on the way out you get the sticker that you voted. I like it.
