Up Early -- Again

About one week in five, I get to work two early shifts, one of them a half-day of overtime. Poor timing, as tomorrow is the year's first (of four) meets for the Indiana Historical Radio Society and I'm going to be a couple of hours late. But it beats missing the whole thing.

Not a lot of original content for you but a gem of a link, the Abandoned Places photocommunity at LiveJournal. Fascinating, haunting, frequently updated. There are some very talented urban explorers/photographers posting there. One member posted a link to news stories about the Las Vegas Neon Museum -- not quite officially open and barely advertised, they are still getting as much traffic as they can handle!

    Thanks for the link to the Historical Society. Just the names of the Indiana made radios brings back many memories. As well wonder at how widely some obscure brands were distributed.

    So one of you collects old guns, and the other collects old radios?

    Zendo Deb,

    That's more or less how it is, yeah.

    It could be expanded; there's some funny overlap (Tam has a small collection of old Macs, I have a herd (or is it a clattering?) of portable manual typewriters, mostly pre-1940.....
