Blogging Like It’s 1979…

I’m not sure what happened. I think the simultaneous use of Twitter, Gmail, Facebook and WordPress opened a rift in the space-time continuum. I’ve been transported to 1979.

Since I’m here, I should do some sightseeing.

Yesterday, I stopped at Dairy Queen on the corner of Admiral and 193rd E. Ave. Today, that location is home to QuikTrip.  I used to go to that DQ for the Dilly Bar. It was an on-the-stick disc-shaped vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate, a favorite of mine.  While I was at DQ, you’ll never guess whom I saw …

… Michael Bates. I swear it was he. He couldn’t be more than 16-years-old, but it had to be Bates. I wonder if grew up around here? Amazingly, he already had the full beard.

I stopped at Wal-Mart across the street, which is no longer Wal-Mart, and picked up a couple of albums, K-Tel’s Disco Dynamite and Billy Joel’s 52nd Street. I’ll play both records on this state-of-the-art media center (pictured after the jump).

I should pick up a couple of Atari’s and sell them as unopened on Ebay.

Hopefully, I’ll be back on time Friday for my one-year anniversary. Until then, enjoy these photos.
