Nature walk and found a dope grow op! pix!

These are the pics I took of the grow op (weed) I stumbled upon yesterday in my adventure just outside of town in a spot I used to go camping in my late teens and where I like to go to get away from this tangled city. Point form: -Stumbled on some flower pots and thought, well perfect. Mom would love these! They are BRAND NEW so I started to gather and stack them to take home. -Saw the names on the pots, "Romulun" (misspelled star trek race), "Pandora" and "J.C." (Jesus Christ). Hrrr

Suicide... Tell a friend!

Tuesday last week an old friend hung himself. Some that knew him more intimately said they saw this coming a while. Others, like myself, who knew him from working with him years ago as well as the local motorsports circuit in the summer months would not believe he was capable or in that dark of a place. The last time I spoke with him was months ago. Everything seemed fine. He was his goofy and pleasant self, not a hint of the level of depression or self hate he was experiencing. Not a sign t

Another Atari/reef store dream

I went to a sale at the local video store, who once in real life used to sell computers and game systems too. On display was a 130ST, though the machine was the form factor of the 130XE and had giant circular function keys a la the system buttons on the XEGS. The keyboard (thanks to my recent pandora pre-order) resembled the keys of the pandora portable and were rather flat to the chassis. I went upstairs to the warehouse as the guy said "I think we have lots more old stuff there. Let's go

Everyone thinks of their first now and again!

The first time I ever laid hands on a computer was in the early 1980s when my childhood friend got their first of many apples. It was a Apple II with a couple drives and a GREEN MONOCHROME apple monitor III. How many hours did we spend playing wizardry, lemonade stand, sabotage, dung beetles etc!? [email protected]! I liked the sheer size of the machine which lead me to falling in love with the original Atari 800. Anyways fast forward 28 years and I'm visiting my mother and the next door neighbor

Reef store dream again!

This time it was a going out of business sale at a local thrift/pawn store. It involved finding a 1040 STe like computer, a 21" "dual mode" color/b & w Atari monitor & a very peculiar Atari ST Communications module that was in a megafile / mega st style case. The com module housed a modem, network and a couple serial ports. Interesting device that was loaded with all sorts of communications ports on the back. The computer didn't need any software to run it either, so I assume the d

8 bit garage sale in the clouds.

I figure that for my first entry I will reveal just one of the mental problems that I have... THE "ATARI DELUSIVE DREAM" - Ever hear of a 650XL? A 250/2500 disk drive? Well I have! This latest dream involved driving up to a house with a garage sale sign on the lawn though it was more of a moving sale as items throughout the house were also open to offers. A neatly organized series of shelves containing all sorts of Atari, Commodore & Apple hardware caught my eye. It resembled a nicel
