Did you happen to check out the meteor crater outside of Winslow, AZ? Williams is rad. Stayed at some train motels in that area a few times. There’s some cool engines and old cars outside of the downtown area.

There’s definitely some stuff y’all share that i’ve never heard of as well.

today’s crate pulls and listens.

Never realized Discogs had that feature. I’ve also only ever used Discogs to search an item, buy it, and the close the page, haha.

Definitely should not be banned. I could understand an argument if it were proven extremely unhealthy, but, i could also go buy an excessively unhealthy amount of booze legally, and crash my car into a school bus. PS: lab grown “cultured” meat is different than plant-based alternatives like Impossible products.

Arizona is such an odd state. I love it and hate it. Roswell photos are dope. Roswell and NM are one of the few states I've been through but really haven’t had a chance to explore how i’d like to. Only ever really spent time in Albuquerque and Raton. Mostly been a pass-thru state for me. PS: fuck flying. edit: almost took a job in Roswell a few years back. Didn’t have a car at the time though, and getting to Roswell ain’t exactly the easiest, ha.

i only keep a small stash in the house, the rest are in storage. I also unloaded a big ass box into the little free libraries a few months back. Edit: these are either on the to-read list, or something i keep around to comb through. double edit: looking at that photo made me notice that one of the books got pushed back. That book is “The Struggle Against the State and Other Essays.” - Nestor Makhno.

I have always opted into every retirement plan an employer has ever offered. To me, it’s just another savings account that employers also pitch into. That said, i don’t appreciate the concept of retirement like most folks do.

oh, NOW you tell me.

I’ve mentioned this in here before a long ass time ago, but when i moved to Denver temporarily, in 2017-2018, i looked at buying a condo for $178k, didn’t pull trigger. As of today, condos in that part of town float between $500k-$700k. woof.

I bought a home last year in New England, the price for what I have (2br, 1ba, 924sq/ft) was absurd, but that’s the market in this region, or everywhere depending on the perspective. This wasn’t a purchase of a forever home by any stretch. It was merely a temporary hold-over because to rent a 2br apartment would have been roughly the same, so i decided to try the investment route. I live in an HOA, which i absolutely despise. However, of all the HOAs out there, this one seems to be one of the best. They largely don’t give a shit about things that other HOAs normally put the boot on. For instance, I have a decent sized fenced in yard, which is great for the dog. The majority of HOAs that i encountered while shopping around didn’t allow fencing or walls of any sort. The lesser of evils, i suppose. The plan is to move the fuck out of this region and somewhere cheaper very soon. In other states, i could have bought a 4br, 2.5ba thats 3x the size and actually own the land for the same costs.. Goofy ass world.
