collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 12/10/2026One of two photos existing of this fellow circa-2014. My fiancée named him Garfield. We believed him to be the progenitor of half the cats in a one mile radius of our home. He was always there until, sadly, he wasn't. We'd estimated that Garfield was last seen in mid-2015. I miss this cat. 090

collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 11/10/2026In school, long ago, the back of our copybooks had a weights & measures table and I used to wonder what a 'hogshead' was. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I still have a number in my contacts for the Dunwoody, Georgia, Borders circa-2005. A guy named Doug helped me with some difficult to find DVD titles. 110
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My mother read to me at bedtime. Some years after Mom's passing I found the very first book she'd read to me beginning quite early I'd imagine; might've been when I was age two and a half or so. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I took one of those on the plane flying Air Tran from Hartsfield-Jackson in August of 2005 in the AM. Maybe I bought it at Terminal C there. The photo doesn't do it justice. I snapped this with a Palm Treo 650. I was flying to Philly that day to visit loved ones. I remember it was tasty. 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I do like to post this occasionally as it brings a smile to my face just as this photo we see here has done. 1120
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Had the Angel for Men; the metal (stainless steel?) outer case could handle a refill insert. One that I have now, which has become increasingly rare, is Molto Smalto. This one was well-received and is still pleasant. Present day, Azzaro Chrome Summer 2012 is getting more difficult to track down. 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Hear, hear. In 1970 I bought this book and read it through and through a few times. I suppose that Marilyn Monroe's passing made quite an impression on me as I had watched the wall-to-wall TV news coverage that day with my mother and maternal grandmother. Best wishes! 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Two weeks ago responding to something which Robert Reich had written about the Minimum Wage here. 011
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 18/09/2026They know me but it's pickled red bell peppers. Yes, red bell peppers. This brand is very close to those which my dear, late father-in-law used to make. 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The man's tour bus passed me as we were headed east on I-80 about 20 miles east of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I do not remember the year; sorry for that. Found this photo online and it fits the memory I have of its magnificence as it went by. I was mere feet from greatness going 65 mph or so. 050
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Diesel has posted yet another record price. The implications for our so-called economy are myriad. $6.31/gal. this morning, September 16, 2026. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Snapshot of diesel fuel and other fuel prices this morning, Monday, September 14, 2026. $6.23/gal. for Diesel. A new record every day. Onward and upward. 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Five hours ago. I believe that Shakespeare wrote, '...an assay of our virtue.' 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Christmas Day 1967, my younger brother and I each received one of these. I recorded a Bugs Bunny cartoon and the complete soundtrack to John Wayne's Rio Bravo (1959). This is a photo of the Mayfair 1602 reel-to-reel. The sound was pretty good to my unsophisticated ears. 1120
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 12/09/2026*this is the brand I favor and is the closest I've found to 'Dad's Originals'. Thank you. 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The national average for a gallon of diesel fuel rose $0.11 overnight. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 11/09/2026That looks like the entrance to Courageous Cat's cave. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 04/09/2026September 25, 2007, approx. 2 PM EDST. Unseasonably warm, 93° F. Not a breath of air stirred. I found this large brook trout trying to move upstream to a deeper pool (not shown) from the long pool we see here. I caught the fish with my hands and moved it to its favored hole under the stream bank. 030
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Date movie. One lobby card on its easel was positioned to be seen first right after the ticket booth. The tickets snap-up through the hinged metal gate. It was Roger Moore and Christopher Lee standing back-to-back. I remember it as a black and white photo. 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Tucked like an Olympic swimmer. Here's one from Winter 2014-2015. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Yes* *in combination with minced cherry peppers and raw onions. 031
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Nothing better on a rainy day than an Abbott & Costello feature. My Dad installed a Tenna Rotor strapped to our chimney with stainless steel bands back in '65. From our metro-Philly home we could pull-in New York City's Channels 5, 7 & 11. Something good was aways on. Tenna Rotor, typical. 110
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 20/08/2026How the heck did sh*tcoin jump 10%? I want answers! 😉 110
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Get a load of where the price of diesel is sustaining itself. I have been taking a screenshot every day since March. My screenshot is specific to my being in the metro-Charlotte, NC, area. 000
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Don't often see this but here Google gets the score wrong. Pirates defeated the Tigers in Pittsburgh, 4-1. 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Worthy selections, I'd say. I need to watch Wings of Desire (1987) myself. He's also angelic here... 210
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Metro-Charlotte, North Carolina, April 8, 2024. Better'n nothing I suppose. The quality of the light was memorable. Very still it was for those few moments. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Febreze Air is my recommendation based on extensive, recent experience of seven weeks or so. 110
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 31/07/2026By chance I was watching David Letterman in early-April 2011 with Don Rickles as his guest. Don promoted his appearances at The Borgata and I bought tickets for my fiancée and me. Don Rickles' energy a during his show put people half his age to shame. All by chance because I saw it on TV. 020
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 20/07/2026When I first saw this it charmed me right off the bat. 1171
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Today's price swing; unfathomable as it may seem... 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Right back up again with all of the global uncertainty. This was yesterday, July 15th 2026. 120
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Here's yesterday's price, July 2, 2026. Easing down a bit more. As analysts are fond of saying regarding the prices for crude oil; 'It's rockets going up and feathers coming down.' 110
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 27/06/2026The price for Regular at my benchmark station in metro-Charlotte, NC, yesterday afternoon. Still 90 cents/gal. over last summer's price. 222
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Where're the bitcoin fluffers? I realize that they're not typically on this site. 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Petroleum futures are surprisingly tame this morning and gas prices, while sitting at $4.52 at least aren't spasming upward 13 cents a day; until the next silly statement to make the news. 010
collier74.bsky.social @collier74.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Consumers don't buy petroleum by the barrel. Gas at the pump is only just off its historical peak in the US. 020
