Marvelous! Thank you, more than I thought would be out there! Both my parents were stationed at Fort Ord, although many years later.

Zappa's version is ruined for me because of that vile person's rap at the end, although I used to love it.

Only 50 or so eps and I'll be caught up, looking forward to this one! The one benefit of a sorting and scanning old documents all day is I have lots of time for podcasts, audiobooks and music.

Fun fact: that N60 in the back? They had a good heft to them, felt like a solid camera. This was simply because Nikon put a metal bar in the base so that when you compared them to vastly superior and more popular Canon Rebel, you could tell the customer it felt like a "real" camera.

I asked my wife if she'd try it. (She *enjoys* things so hot the Thai cooks mention the fumes get to them, the boys at the hot sauce festival looked sad when she shrugged at their samples.) Her response: It's just habaneros, how hot could it be?

It's great, you get all the fun rituals of Catholicism but none of the crushing guilt, plus! you're not really required to actually believe in anything if you don't want to, just politely show up now and then.

It's a picture, is there a source?

Ha, no doubt! I've got 7 boxes of broken cameras and misc parts to get through before I can justify buying anything. There's an F3 on ebay that I know I could refurb, but who has the time???

I rebuilt a couple of the original Pentax 67s, totally worth the effort, but ME/Supers are a bit too much work for return. That shutter release on the 8008 is intriguing, I still have my old N70 and wanted one back in....2000? Ha ha!

That Photura/Jetboy/Epoca is a really good bridge camera. Just rebuilt my mom's, and it's super sharp. That generation of Pentax SLRs had a plastic gear in the advance mech and while there's still paets, it's a bit of work. 8008 was a workhorse! AE1/A1s had some internal corrosion and magnet issues.

Really interesting as the dad was born in Mexico & came to California young & said rock music helped him learn English more than school. He did us a huge favor by dumping the mid to late 60s on us in the form of a few hundred LPs. Weird to learn that DC5 isn't part of everyone' 60s soundtrack.

@evandahm.bsky.social did a beautiful, illustrated edition of Moby Dick, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Never saw that, and I was basically the doorman, part-time bartender, at a pub for a decade. Most cooks are chill, but some bartenders can get pretty agro if you invade them, hope the dude caught a lesson.

Sorry to be a rando jumping in, but this is marvelous! Did you get subjected to the video, Hell's Bells: The Evils of Rock and Roll? A kid I knew had been given it by his mom because he listened to metal. It's quite hysterical, and on Youtube last I checked.

One to play, one to keep sealed!
Just in case :)
I have 2* of almost every Decemberists vinyl release for this reason.

Good on you! I keep buying the RSD Replacements releases even though I already have the same things that came out in previous box sets. RSD is such a beautifully crafted method for separating music nerds from their money!

Dad had a 45 that was the original version of Omaha! that I put on you tube a while back and still seems to be the only original version up. Plenty of later versions, but only this Butternut. m.youtube.com/watch?v=I5FC...

We went to all the Big Games in Berkeley from around 1972 until 1989.

Now threads are starting to weave & my real "AHA!" moment came when Lee Eastman was mentioned! Don't know the pattern, but getting glimpses & I see people coming and going now. It's getting really good and I am looking forward to more! This isn't just a history, it's a well constructed narrative!

There was a Time/Life series of cooking that I adore, (my mom has a full set but won't give it to me), Foods of the World. Really respectful treatment of lots of cultures, including pre-fast food culture American cuisine (the one on Southern cooking is incredible!). I refer to them often, $1 books.

I get most recipes from thrift store books because the internet search engines give garbage results anymore and I'd rather read old books than sift through hundreds of AI generated blogs.

When I was about 6 my best friend's oldest brother was Bryan Barker, and he used to spend hours kicking straight up to work on timing because distance was an angle after timing was figured out (as far as I understood it). He kicked to the moon as far as my eyes could see :)

I'd rather see a Ritchie Blackmore comedy show, if I had to choose from tetragrammaton.

Lol, is he still alive?
(No)
Also, his sitcom was popular at the same time I was a resentful youth so I have no nostalgia for that and never watched a rerun.
