After a two-week respite of sorts, got to hit my regular Saturday morning thrift store and came away with a pair of LPs by Linda Ronstadt, an excellent George Carlin live recording and the discovery of an early 1980s British new wave band, The Armoury Show. #Vinyl #LPs #Music #thrifting

Linda Ronstadt's 1975 release, "Prisoner in Disguise."

Linda Ronstadt's 1977 release, "Simple Dreams."

Comedian and prophet George Carlin's third LP, "FM & AM," which was released in 1972.

Meanwhile, on the GI Joe subreddit, the weighty questions of statecraft and international relations are being debated. #GIJoe

Since a squirrel began carving one the four pumpkins we somehow grew over the summer, I figured I'd get an early start to spooky season tonight. #Halloween #SpookySeason

The beauty of being an Auburn alum and football fan is having a team of cardiologists on speed dial. That those same cardiologists also provide comfort as an Eagles fan is just a bonus. #FlyEaglesFly #GoBirds! #WDE #WarDamnEagles

Aside from the hole in the box, this was in absolute pristine condition and included everything needed to set it up and play. Don't think I've ever seen a Magnovox Odyssey 200 before in a thrift or second-hand store. #Videogames #Vintage #Odyssey200

After chancing upon a house ad for #Ribit!, I was totally intrigued. Thanks to Pittsburgh's @newdimensioncomics.bsky.social, I have the four-issue miniseries by Frank Thorne and it's quite enjoyable. #Comics

Yeah, that'll do it. That's how you affect real change. Nothing like a letter.

Went to a second-hand store that just opened this weekend. Lots of interesting stuff, but seeing a bevy of Mayfair Games' DC Heroes' modules and sourcebooks had me agog. $5 per book and/or module. #DCHeroes #RPGs #roleplayinggames #DCComics

Happy Independence Day, y'all. Fight for our future. Always. #IndependenceDay #FourthofJuly #America250 #250USA

Two-hundred-fifty years is a drop in the bucket vs. other, older nations, but the grand experiment spurred by farmers, soldiers, merchants, newspaper editors and citizens is ever evolving, in motion and worth protecting, warts and all.

It's on us to keep it going, even when the amazing and historic steps forward are nullified by the proliferating and seemingly unending giant leaps backward.

Do no harm, tolerate no shit and stay two steps ahead to protect what can be.

I believe in you.

Nancy Barile's memoir was an enjoyably solid read. Highly recommended. An illuminating account of Philly's punk and hardcore scene.
