(I Am Ready) Do the Bus Stop- $2 Record Show Score

Went to a record show today and had pretty much dug through all the crates but found a box under a table I had missed- found this Fatback Band album for just $2. The first track is one of my all-time favorite songs!

Grabbed some exotica and soul for $5 & $1 too.

Better Together

These seasonal item chips are on discount and they're only okay- maybe half a step above plain tortilla chips. But I find they complement the Southwest guacamole quite well. 7.5/10

As Julian from Ghosts (UK) would say: We're Better... Together.

14 out of 24 drink dispensers out of order

And the CO2 is messed up so the drink I did get is flat. 😑

This is after leaving a different location that didn't have cups.

Panhandler just yelled at me for inane reason

I live in the US, where it's currently summer. I was driving with my arm out the window, like millions of people do every day. As I took the freeway off-ramp to my home, this guy posted up there with a sign just yelled at me as I drove past, saying I shouldn't have my arm out the window if I'm not going to give him anything.

Thinking about the time I openly mused about a Ham Philly at the counter at Jersey Mike's and the worker looked at me as if I had just proposed ritual human sacrifice and said "Jersey Mike's would NEVER do that. 😐"

And before anyone says it- yes, it needs more onions. 🫤

Everybody in this sub needs to SHUT UP about these cookies

You DO realize they will sell out even faster if more people know how good they are, right? 😐

Did I miss some new advances in peach technology?

I expected to find a stone in a dry pocket in the center, but instead it's like a mango pit with a long fibrous wedge? I've never had a peach like this before.

UPDATE: To address some common questions-

Of course I've heard of cling peaches, but only on a can, as in "Cling Peaches in Heavy Syrup".

I live in an Upper Midwest state and peaches aren't commonly grown here, although it's possible. And whenever I've seen fresh peaches in a store, they're not identified by variety like apples or pears- they're just "Peaches- $X/lb".

A Wild Variety appears! (New Arrivals)

Connie Price & the Keystones - Wildflowers (I've wanted this album ever since hearing the track "Sucker Punch" on the soundtrack for the film "London", starring Chris Evans, Jason Statham, and Jessica Biel. Some day, I may even watch that movie.)

"Sucker Punch": https://youtu.be/hDkZViKqB7w?si=GkD4wsr1EPNgj7fG

Last fall, Björn from Swedish indie band Peter Bjorn and John released an album of Crime/Noir Jazz under the name "Yttling Jazz". And it's pretty good.

Yep- just like that one Peter Björn and John song you know ("Young Folks"), this track also features whistling. But I believe it's the only track that does.

One other note, if you are starting the album from the top: the first track "Sodon the Mountain Man" starts with a little freakout that's kinda harsh on the ears, but this is not at all representative of the rest of the album. When I started it, I was 😬, but then it smooths out.

It evokes images of trenchcoat and fedora wearing gangsters prowling dark, wet, city alleyways. Probably an excellent soundtrack to a video game like "L.A. Noire", or even GTA.
