Vinyl!

Yesterday we went to the annual WFMU record fair.  I was super excited since last year's fair was cancelled due to Sandy issues.  This year, they made it later in November.  I was all set with my shopping bag and cash.  I managed to get a slew of nice CD's and a couple of pieces of vinyl.  I also bought a few cool band pins.  The vendors were actually really nice this year.  The Brit selling the pins was super nice.  The vendor I bought a super 7 inch from was so cool to talk to.   There was only one smelly person (male record collectors tend to spend more time with their records than on hygiene) and no one was outright rude.  All in all, a pleasant experience.

Afterwards, we went to a political bookstore that has been having financial troubles.  We bought some fine reading and snickered with the shop lady about the prior customer.  He was talking about not wanting to be bitten by a dead person.  He works in a hospital.  We were baffled.  I guess the zombie apocalypse might actually be coming.

Operation Flea Control continues at Casa Vasa.  Hubby takes no part in this, of course - unless you count his fretting over my "hurting" her.  Me hurting her?  I am the one that bleeds after a combing session.  Sigh.  On the bright side, Millie seems to have very few fleas and I have not been bitten by a flea in a week and two days.

I so wanted to go in the garden and pull up some of the dead tomato plants, check on the beets & fennel and cut the calendula flowers.  However, today's high was 29 degrees.  Needless to say, I spent the day reading...  At least we are getting winter weather before Thanksgiving.  It always seems somewhat wrong if it is warm at this time of year.  I don't like eating tofurkey and mashed potatoes in warm weather.
