Career bookseller, that guy with the loud shirt from Cody’s, when it was. I’ve left Threads and the Twitterverse, so life is a little simpler these days. I firmly believe life should have a soundtrack.

With you on that. A nice Tom Collins in the Nordic glass from that other post would go nicely. Some Ritz crackers with cream cheese & Major Grey’s chutney. Carrot sticks.

Just sticking to the theme.

And unlimited water. Better than oil, water, no batteries, unlimited, American oil the best, biggest oil, killer oil, unlimited, like our water. Biden cut off our water, and our oil, I brought it back, cheaper showers, oil showers.

November 18, 1918, France. Celebrating the end of a long, bloody war. I’m pretty sure my grandfather Cliff Harvey is to the far right, but it’s a little hard to tell, and the photo in the album doesn’t say.

The War to End All Wars didn’t.

Somehow, we keep forgetting to remember.

Makes sense. Everyone knows that breakfast martinis are healthier if they’re dirty martinis. Vodka martinis are empty calories, and more suited for second breakfast, or a work snack.
