你好

Almost hit a little person at a crosswalk yesterday. Genuinely just couldn’t see them.

Later I was at a concert and there was an obnoxious woman talking loudly behind me, and when I turned around to size her up I saw she was a little person of color and I turned back around and decided to just be quiet.

Imagine that, two encounters with little citizens in one day.

Cassettes. Those were the days. They were labour intensive, but so much fun.

8-Tracks were a mess. Every time I hear Zeppelin's You Shook Me, or I Can't Quit You Baby I wait for the track to change and start a few seconds back of the middle of the song for overlap.

I can imagine. I've never actually played an 8-track. My grandparents had some. I don't think my father had one when I was born.

My brother and me shared an AM/FM/Phonograph/8-Track player/recorder, so I had mix-tape 8-Tracks back in the late 70's early 80's. lol I had an 8-T in my first couple of cars too, so then I had to get an adapter for cassettes when those came out.

I feel really old right now.

Wow. I'm an early 70s kid. I think my father went straight vinyl right from the start.

Yup, lots of vinyl in our house too.

I remember my Dad had one of those glove box 45 players in his GTO. It was terrible. You could really only use it if you were parked.

He wrapped that awesome piece of machinery around the same telephone pole twice. It was totaled the 2nd time.

I remember the first car CD players being like that. Drive over so much as an ant hill and the thing skipped.

Damn. Hopefully your Dad wasn't totalled.
