Interests are photography, chess, reading, history. Intolerant to bigotry, racism & other idiocy. Dabbles in selling nice old things. Clinomaniac.

I’m old enough to remember “bread men” delivering bread in Belfast in the 1960s, particularly Kennedy’s Bakery.
“JB Kennedy’s bread
Sticks to your belly like lead
Not a bit of wonder
You fart like thunder
JB Kennedy’s bread!”

The nearly “diamond Fuji” I ran into by chance on the roof of Yokado last night. Cubic zirconia Fuji, perhaps. Still cool though.

Just thinking about the colleague I talked to recently who works at a university in a very red state. They mentioned that the administration had recently put up posters of the Ten Commandments all over campus. It would be funny if the absolute weirdos in power weren't perfectly serious about it
