To quote myself:Additional confuzzlement: The ebay seller who went Ground Advantage charged $5.10 for shipping, but the USPS website claims the minimum GA charge is $7.20. The corporate entity, however, charged $15.97 for Priority Mail. I can't imagine the second package is more than a few oz. heavier than the first one. Stop dabbling & figure it out, Yankee Dabbler!!

Especially confuzzling as 17318 was sent Ground Advantage, which promises 2-5 day delivery & apparently replaces First Class Mail, & arrived at the RDC nine hrs. later than 90256, which went Priority Mail, a 2-3 day promise. Which means that even counting only business days, it should be here by Weds., not Thurs.Friday, November 28, 2025

Minutes later: Wait, it's still Friday for an hr. or so in this time zone. Holidays are stupefying.

3 Nov. 1968. Guessing it's much the same show as I saw three+ wks. later at Seattle's Eagles Auditorium on this date in 1968. Opening act: Chicago Transit Authority. I think that was the show when Linda V. (last name redacted as she is still alive & has a Ph.D. & a career) & I first made out.
Wow. Memories. Now I'm really depressed.

This reporter hasn't had any booze since Thanksgiving 2015, ten yrs. ago today. Not a big deal, as I wasn't boozing much at the time, having tapered off considerably from my yout'.
Never got behind (or under) any wheels when plowed good. Don't miss it a bit, either. On the other hand, I had enough "points" for a US$40.00 discount on a $43.00 bag of boo.

Even if I had any appetite, eating makes me literally sick. I'm an orphaned only child, have no immediate family & doubt I'd enjoy any of my distant relatives. Not that I could afford to travel anywhere. Friends? Informant scum is more like it. Everything is lies & bullshit. Shove your pathetic petit bourgeois pretensions, worthless nobodies.

Meaning I finished all my shopping yesterday, w/ a month to go. Were Santa to stuff my stocking w/ another 100 or so bones worth of plastic Chinese crap I would have every possible structure I could want for (or that will fit on) the layout, 'cept for a larger quonset hut for Camp Swampy.
Scam alert? Good price (MSRP is US$114.99) cheap shipping, but from "United States WAREHOUSE Brazil?" And no returns? Uh, no. Not to mention "import fees." Image at left is the item, but not the one from Brazil; note it's $19.85 shipping in the contiguous 48. Anyway, I got one for US$79.99, plus $5.10 shipping & $7.80 Calif. tax, which I'm happy & proud to pay. And the seller's in Jersey, sending it USPS; even at the cheapest rate the Postal Sevice is likely to put something from the wrong coast in a 'plane & have it here in civilization ASAP, as opposed to UPS & FedEx, which mean it when they call it ground service. Hey, it's almost amusing to track one's package across the country for days & days.

Another Reminder Of Why I Remain Angry After Sixty+ Yrs.!

20:25
If my parents weren't deservedly dead already, I'd have to kill them, not merely for throwing away my comic book collection when we moved to Seattle but for lying to me about it for months. Probably should've killed myself for believing the lying sacks of shit at all, & for not realizing right fucking then that no one can be trusted, ever: "Oh, they were lost in transit for a while ... they'll be here in a month or so ..."
Lying fucking scum, like the idiot squealer who called the police & sent me to psychiatric jail & like everyone the fuck else in this horrid world of shit & pain. No wonder I hate every one of you, even my goddam parents started fucking me, pretty much the day I was born!!Not saying that I had Action #1, or this one, but I did have Daredevil #1. You rotten, rotten bitch & the son thereof. After this kind of treatment, no jury would dare convict me of anything. Not that they'll take me alive, mind you!

[Idiotic Movie Dimbulbs]
Show Bidnis!!Bob Holiday played the Man of Steel more times than any other actor: 19 previews and 129 performances on Broadway in 1966, plus revivals in both St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri in 1967.During the run of "It's A Bird It's A Plane It's Superman" he fell one night when the shackle attached to his harness broke. He dropped six feet to the ground, bounced back up, turned to the audience, and said, 'That would have hurt any mortal man!'" The crowd erupted into a standing ovation.

Six Yrs. On
by
M. Bouffant
at
19:11
Six yrs. ago today the Rail Chief starter set arrived. A few days ago I finished the baseboard, & as I already had the track plan I figured I could nail it all down & start testing electric flow & derailments.
There are two phrases one hears often in model railroading. "It's your railroad, do what you want" (Who's going to stop anyone? The NMRA Police?) & "A model railroad is never finished." While the concept for this one is done, it can't get any bigger, & there's little space for more plastic crap from China, it won't actually be finished for some effin' time, as demonstrated by it taking Sunday, Monday, Tues. & part of Wednes. to get the track as intended & functional in relation to buildings & the like. Then I could start painting the track & painting & cutting cork for roadbed. Won't list everything else there is to do, but I have a reefer car & four buildings to build paint & cement together, & one building & two oil loading platforms to buy & assemble. Also, much of the rolling stock needs better wheels & couplers.
One good thing: W/ the changes & adjustments it turns out I have a turnout that works in a spot where I thought I'd need to blow US$30+ on a curved one from England. No idea what sort of tariffs are being idiotically imposed on goods from Britain above the list price.I will need to buy a couple of turnouts for the Army camp that's going to be in the northwest section, & the nuclear power or poison gas plant needs plenty of work. (Piping & such. And, radiation trefoils or poison gas skulls & crossbones?)
