My AP Pet Sounds shipped! I'm fairly excited for this one. Went with the 33/mono version. Also grabbed Gillian Welch -The Harrow and The Harvest.

What's that perfect album when you stare too long at your records and nothing comes to you? I need that.

Looks like my low mileage lease vehicle was a good call. Got it in mid-February, it has 743 miles today.

Wow, it's full on snowing. Usually we only get it the first week of April, this is late.

Is there a garden thread? There should be. Not because I'm good at it, just the opposite actually. I could use friendly advice from time to time.

I've been randomly texting old friends with cell snaps of photographs from 20, 25 years ago. Good quarantine entertainment.

Just got laid off. Kind of stunned, I've been there 32 years. I know it's temporary but still....wow.

Iris Dement show on April 23rd cancelled. (not postponed) I'll get a refund, and I know these little things don't matter a ton right now. So...I understand, and yet I am also bummed.

I saw a second state butcher cover at a record show yesterday, 1200 bucks. I held it because I had to at least pick it up and look at it, but never considered buying it.
