Broke as Usual
I got so broke, this time from paying my taxes, that I decided to sell 110 8-tracks on ebay. The auctions all end tonight. So far they're only going for $91 all together. I'd be sad to let so many of my beloved 8-tracks go for so little, even if they are duplicates. But I really need some cash. Sigh.

On the happier side, yesterday I got the music from Dark Shadows 8-track for only 2 bucks, in pretty good shape. It was weird because one of the guys on Dark Shadows is named Barnabas, and yesterday's reading at mass was about Paul and Barnabas. Then our awesome Priest, Father John Unni, said in his homily that there probably weren't many Barnabasses in the congregation, but later on I found the tape in a junk store. I wonder what it means? Perhaps Quentin and Barnabas shook the dust from their shoes before the left ABC?

Also today one of the nice people at the 8trackheaven message board sent me a 1975 Schwann catalog which lists all the new 8-tracks which were available then including quads. It is pretty cool. I have been pouring over it for hours. I think I'll try to update my wants list.
