we're back hello 2017

[davemerrill]

We're back! The 401 was foggy, Ohio was rainy, Tennessee was rainy, Georgia was rainy and then nice and sunny for a bit, North Carolina was nice, Virginia was overcast, WV was foggy, PA was damp, upstate NY was the only snow we saw on the trip. Yes, I am describing our route in reverse order.

We stopped at some antique malls.













I made cornbread and collards and black-eyed peas for New Years Day, we saw a bunch of friends, came home with the sniffles, saw the Star Wars, did the Varsity, spent some quality family time, now it's back to the real world!

I love the glasses in the last pic.

they were must-haves, and the price was right!

I have to say, that 'Batman' (painting? Folder? Poster?) thing disturbs me in ways I don't think I can explain.

It's a children's record, apparently it's instrumentals. Haven't had a chance to give it a spin yet.

I...what? Huh?

Look, I grew up in the '60s. I was exposed to all manner of super trippy stuff (the things the admen thought would reach with the mods, dig?) and I survived. Most of that kind of thing, once you drilled down past the surface, you could figure out the core purpose, see past the fractal mandalas to 'get' it.

The only sense of that cover I can make out, besides the '60s Batman face, are the animals. Those scary animals.

and it hits. 1967. Doctor Dolittle.

If not that, then I just don't know.

You'd better not forget to talk about it. :)
