    What's an album?

    Several years ago I brought some albums to the soccer field to loan to another parent.

    The kids asked "where did you get those huge CDs and how many minutes can they play?"

     

    and now CDs  are in dinosaur land.

     

    Of the OPs list I had 8 of those at one time.

  2. What are car lots like in your neck of the woods ?
    Here in S WV, the  car lots are bereft of new or used vehicles.

    I'd guess they have about 50% of the inventory the dealerships normally have.

    Any explanations ?

    just so ahead of their time and so damned good.  Music holds up as well today as it did back then

     

    The music holds up well.  When my grandson is in the car,

    we only listen to the Beatles channel on XM.

     

    Back in the day I was more of a Dave Clark Five fan

     

  4. I am not a casino "Junkie" , but  I enjoy going to the casino in Niagara Falls.

    My favorite casino day was in Las Vegas , Jan. 20, 1991.

    Mrs. Lew won $500 on a slot machine at Caesar's Palace and i was 

    able to watch a great football game in the sports book area.

    At half time, me and my new friends from Rochester had the place to ourselves.

    I know the odds are against me, but I like roulette

    One of my favorite pharma bloggers, medicinal chemist Derek Lowe, has a hashtag "Things I won't Work With".  In a recent edition, he was in rare form.  Check it out

    Gems: "Recall that this is the compound whose cocrystal with TNT is actually less dangerous than the pure starting material itself, and yeah, I know that sounds like the guy at the pet store packing a starved Komodo dragon into the carrier with your new dog, just to calm him down some."

    "once I’ve crystallized the two together, which is the sort of thing most people would consider a very unfortunate accident, I most definitely do not want to take the powder X-ray diffraction spectrum of the stuff by “finely grinding and packing the material” into a sample holder. Who the hell got to be the first person to try that, and what were they wearing while they did it?

    I’d be dressed up like the first person to set foot on Venus, I can tell you (“That’s one. . .small. . .step for a foolhardy moron. . .”) and while I picked up the mortar and pestle (assuming my suit allowed me that much mobility) and muttered a brief prayer to Cthulhu (edit: spelled his name wrong; I’m toast now), I’d be thinking that if I’d only planned my career with more attention that I could be wrestling a hungry carnivorous six-foot lizard instead. Mom always wanted me to go into reptile-wrangling, should have listened while I had the chance"

     

    Any things YOU won't work with?

    I used to work with HCl, HNO3, HF, HClO4 and Na2O2.

    Now that I retired all I work with is the lawn mower, rakes, wheel barrow,  shovels, weed eater and hedge trimmer.

    His line of pop, "Money Bags Soda" is sold nation wide at 7-11 stores and is made by Niagara Falls' own Johnny Ryan Soda company.

  7. RIP  Eddie  'the entertainer"  Shack  who passed away at age 83.

    He was a flamboyant hockey player and put on a great great show for the fans.

    He primarily played for the Leafs, but came to the Sabres for 2 seasons.

     

    RIP number 23.

    hey @LewPort71, this clan live near you?

    I have not seen this.  And the county mentioned is about 90 minutes away.

     

  9. Thank you notes via text, email or snail mail are all acceptable IMHO.  It's the thought.

    My mom was a prodigious letter writer and my sister and I inherited that gene.

    I have passed that on to my grandson as I taught him the best three words in the 

    English language are "Please" and "Thank You".

     

    The next three are  Let's Go BILLS !
