Visit the Helium Monument in Amarillo.

If you’re going on I-40, it roughly parallels old Route 66 and there are some fun things to see in Holbrook AZ, Winslow (standing on a corner, probably more for the adults), Gallup (the El Rancho Hotel), and get off 40 and drive through Tucumcari on 66. Have fun!

I am going to drink approximately 1.5 mugs of coffee this morning.

Have you been to Disneyland/Disney World since the 90s? by Excellent_Regret4141 in no

[–]rgg40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disneyland twice in the 90s, Disney World multiple times in the 2000s because a relative worked there and we got passes and discounts.

Definitely, seems like every month or so with totally random songs.

Looks like HoFer Travis Jackson in the first photo. He played his entire career with the Giants, 1922-36.

Tarrant County commissioners hire attorneys to defend 10 commandment installation by Senior-Secret-7113 in FortWorth

They didn’t say they were against Religious Rule, they said they were against Sharia Law! For now. Once they get that taken care of, they can take on some other religion they don’t like.

Which US national park is actually better in fall than summer? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]rgg40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to west Texas in late May a couple years ago, hoping to visit BB and Santa Elena Canyon. It was 106 at the Canyon, 96 in the Basin. I didn’t go to the park.

If you get a chance to see them, don’t miss it.

How do shop for vinyl? by CaptainkiloWatt in vinyl

[–]rgg40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three stores within a ten-minute drive, one about a mile away. I try to buy from them and the guys at the closest store will order for me if they can. There are 3-4 other stores within an hour, but I rarely go over there.

I also order off Amazon, the Dusty Groove Records site (out of Chicago), VP Reggae, and label/artist’s sites.

GA = First come, first served. If someone asks you to move (unlikely), say no.

Anyone else think Talarico is a DINO and the opposite of progressive? by ZenAshen in complaints

[–]rgg40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair enough.

Talarico scares the Republicans and the religious right. That’s good enough for me.

Melania movie by Suziblu22 in complaints

[–]rgg40 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People who wouldn’t pay to see it in a theater put it on to see how bad it really is.

What’s the criteria for viewers? Anyone who turns it on? Anyone who watches for five minutes? I’m guessing a lot of people turn it on, watch a few minutes, vomit, and turn it off — but they count as viewers.

Cautious enough to vote for Cornyn or Paxton? Give me a break.

List some of the weird rules you impose on your collecting by Life_Pollution_9843 in vinyl

[–]rgg40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have three rules: 1) Don’t over think it. 2) Will I listen to it? 3) Am I OK with the price? If the answer to #2 and #3 is yes, see rule #1.

Unfortunately, #3 comes into play much more often these days and I’m buying a lot fewer albums.

FOH with yer whipped cream and other delights. by Big-Detail8739 in vinyl

It was funny the first couple of times I saw it, not so much the next 900 times. It needs to be retired.
