Random

Yanked the headphones out of my ears and shut off the youtube videos. I gotta get some writing done, there's no way in hell I'll ever make the NYT bestseller list if I spend all of my time watching 80's rock videos.....
 
Quote from nutmeg:

What are you writing about?

A 21 year old fry cook in the hear of Appalachia who solves a 35 year old murder cold case.

Crap, I just spoiled the ending.....
 
What's the haps, chaps?

Sunday night, updating my market diary, reading Barron's, sipping wine.

Totally bizzare incident last night when I was standing outside the bar waiting on a cab. A large car, (mabye a Lincoln?), pulled up and the driver asks if I called a cab. I said yes, and I climbed in the back and told him where I wanted to go. He said he was new to the area and asked me for directions. So I leaned forward, gave him the directions, and then noticed that there was no meter in the car.
 
Just a public service reminder:

For your convenience, the Random thread will be open all day Labor Day.
When you can't depend on open markets, you always have an alternative, right here.


Thank you.
 
Perhaps I should move this here

Holy crap! Sounds like fun!
Yeah, it probably was exciting. Should've put a disclaimer on that about 30 yr. old memories.

Also on my street, Social Distortion started, but Mike Ness is the only one who stayed with that band. It seemed like nearly every other guy was in a band back then, but Ness is the only local dude that I knew of that made it big.

Van Halen was an up and coming band while I was in High School and played at local HS dances.

BTW, that mid-1950's microbus had a top speed of about 50mph, maybe 60 downhill with a good tailwind. And very slow off the mark. We were honked at and flipped off just about everywhere we went. :p

It had cargo doors on both sides. One December night, probably in the late '70s, we were chugging through some parking lot and decided to steal a Christmas tree for kicks. We just opened those doors, swooped one in, and chugged away. We got it to someone's apartment and decorated it with empty cigarette packs and beer cans. We called it the anti-Christmas tree. We thought we were clever, but mostly we were just drunk.
