This Day Starts Well!

 It's sunny and warming rapidly. Light winds and it was only a little below freezing this morning. For late October, very, very good!










It's more old stuff from ever so many years ago. I played with that Whammo Pluto Platter a lot when I was a kid. I was keen on flying saucers. I think I sold it on eBay. It was the original of that toy and I considered it a great find back in the day. This is where the Frisbee thing began, in about 1957.

Another Sunny Day!

 But it's a little cool and somewhat windy. 










It's old guitars again. Some of these go back to 1978! I mean, that's when I took the photos and that's when I owned them. I do not have photos of every guitar I've ever owned and played. I wish I did.

Somewhat Cool

 Partly cloudy with a light rain shower just a little while ago but now clearing a bit and we've got some sunshine on and off. It doesn't look too bad today. Of course, yesterday was terrific. 












I guess I'm just exploring some old stuff, old guitars, stuff I sold on eBay a long time ago, and so on. One of those pics is of me around 1968 or so with a Bruno Conqueror, which was not a bad hollow body at all. Floating bridge, like a jazz guitar, single coil pickups. But it got traded in on a candy apple red 1964 Fender Jaguar, and I don't have that guitar any more either.

Terrific Day!

 Warm, plenty of sunshine, pleasant breezes-- a fine day for the time of year. 




Above I revisit the Lubbock Lights. So much had changed! 19th Street was probably a two-lane road in the early fifties and houses were torn down when it was widened. 







About twenty years ago I was out in Southwest Lubbock around sundown and discovered hazy blobs in the digital photos. I tried to enhance them and got this stuff.

Great Weather

 It is at least not bad for this time of year. A few years back we'd had an ice storm by this time. That was abnormal. Starship continues to be a joke, lowering the bar for what qualifies as "success". I can't figure out the fan base for this project. It might be better to rename Starship. Maybe Starsh*t would be an option. It didn't blow up immediately. That's success? Will it be one success after another?










This is an old Hondo guitar I used to have. I wish I still had it. Did I sell it on eBay?? I can't remember what I did with it. It weighed a lot. Maybe I donated it to Goodwill. I don't even recall where I found it!
