Old postcards, MLB, CBB, pop culture, music, movies and the occasional random Peter Sellars facts are some of the things I like.

@JoMaddenSports Gemini is way better for my work. I also mix it up and use Claude for deeper research.

91.5 WUNC's weekend radio program "Backporch Music" got me acquainted with Mississippi John Hurt and Elizabeth Cotton along with other great blues/local musicians many years ago.

There's so much great music in this world that'll never be heard by people.

The Orioles place plaques on the street outside right field for every home run that lands there 😮⚾

Eutaw Street features dozens of bronze discs that mark all of the homers that have landed there in Oriole Park history - all 134 of them

The spot is carefully marked when a homer lands there, then plaques are created after the season and laid out the following spring

Listening to the bug zapper murdering mosquitoes is my favorite summer pastime.

On a related note. Im shocked David Lynch never used those sounds from a zapper in his movies. Seems like it would be perfect for his films and Twin Peaks. 😆

The nifty fifty on my r50 is taking great shots of my Blockbuster Video backers. I'll fly through all 400 of them tonight. 😆

That’s the legendary Howlin' Wolf pouring his soul into that hollow-body Fender Coronado, with the great Eddie Shaw backing him on sax. The pure emotion and raw blues energy captured in this vintage shot are undeniable.

One Battle After Another's use of American Girl was genius. Forgot how much I loved that song.

WW1 soldiers were a different breed. This postcard is beat all to hell but you can still see the details and seriousness in their faces.

[David @HappyFunBall76]

I forgot how much I love The Who. So many good songs.

Back when the Niagra Falls allowed visitors to just roam all over the frozen ice. 🤣

This was eventually banned after the ice broke apart and killed three tourists taking them to their deaths in 1912.

The postcard is pre-1907 and shows that people were insane even back then.
