Yes, the big artists definitely still do, and I’m glad to see them! Some indies are still hit or miss, but I understand the industry model doesn’t make it particularly easy for them.

I went back to CDs this year too, mostly for the reasons you name. My mom and I are both pack rats, so between us I had most of both mine and my brother’s old collections when I bought a new player. I wish newer artists still made them, I would buy!

I just can’t let go of the fact that if they were going to cave, they could have done that 2-3 weeks ago, sparing millions of people a lot of pain and suffering.

Good call

Must be a 5-alarm fire, because I got an email from Ogles’ office detailing the status of actual government services and it wasn’t completely unhinged. Enough to make his office care about communicating with constituents!

Also Chattanooga is maybe the too-obvious choice, but depending on what one wanted to do the Ocoee river road area to the east would probably be particularly lovely this time of year.

I never even put them in the dryer!

Ok this is potentially life changing - I just started having issues with acid in coffee about a month ago and was wondering if I was going to have to stop, but I’m gonna try the salt thing! That and maybe brewing it a little weaker, I do mine very robust lol

This is very encouraging, because I have a day next week set aside for this very thing. It’s good to know success is possible.
