Us 80's kids didnt know it at the time, but we were the last of the greatest. We were Gods lol.



Kids are trained to hate the old ways, cause it goes against the agenda.



And to think, these the brats that are suppose to wipe our asses when we get old     If they can get off their phone for 5 mins lol.

I delivered for Pizza Inn (Salem) between graduation and going to basic training.

Drove an old converted mail Jeep that had a map of our area laminated and glued to a tray next to the driver's seat.

It was fun but a bit top heavy... almost tipped it a couple times on sharp curves. LoL

I miss the old street directories for the ability to do your own route planning and not simply leave it to a computer to tell you where to go. The kids of today have been bred into being a bunch of conformist cabbage-craniumed cockmongling cuckpigs that need a good smack upside their moonfaced oblong shaped heads to think for themselves.

Old Brick was a Bowie fan. I don't know anyone else that likes Bowie's music.

Me. Early stuff mostly, up to and including the Scary Monsters album. It tends to get a bit hit or miss for my tastes after that...

Maybe I never gave his music a fair shake. He kept changing his musicial style over his long career. It was hard to keep up with the guy.

Think of it more along the lines of "what new shit have you got for me this time". Some artists get accused of each new album sounding the same as their last - not a bad thing if you like familiar territory and I'd be lying if I said there weren't any examples of that in my collection, but I do appreciate a surprise, a bit of variety.



Prince did Prince. Frank Zappa did Frank Zappa. Robert Fripp did Robert Fripp. David Bowie did David Bowie. And so on. It earned them a lot of criticism, changing their entertainment chops up as they did, but it did earn them accolades in some quarters too. You know what you like; if there's anything in what any entertainer does that gets your foot tapping. it's worth it to you in the moment and so what if whatever comes next - you still have your enjoyment of what you *did* like.

I like continuity. If Ronnie had survived the plane crash and Skynyrd started doing hip hop, I sure as hell would not have listened to them. Not even their old shit that I like.

Yeah, I think we differ there. I've got a large-ish collection of Zappa I only listen to a quarter of, same with King Crimson, but only four albums I listen to with any sort of regularity. I poke no end of fun at The Wiggles which is pure cringe, but still enjoy dropping a Cockroaches record on the turntable at times. Deep Purple, Kraftwerk, Stranglers... I can still enjoy an artists former work long after they've started delving into genre's I don't necessarily want to hear.



And hip hop.... depends on how it's presented I guess. If it sounds interesting and not like a bunch of trucks reversing while some homo gibbers all angry and jealous about how many cocks his mother sucked, I might give it a cursory listen. There was a guy out of Fortitude Valley by the name of Eddie Jacobsen I didn't mind for instance, used to front a band called Butterfingers back in the day... I'll listen to that.

I see no difference between paper or digital maps except you can find your exact location on digital via gps, if enabled.



We regularly have to receive privately created maps of state and national parks in order to work the tracks in exact manners, guidelines.



Sometimes we have both paper and digital for a track or tracks, but I suspect plotting way points digitally is a whole lot more believable than holding a length of string to the scale and measuring out windy kilometres worked, then later a snapshot of the string, for when payments need to be made.





Unless of course the world goes mad and emp balloons go off.... then paper is king.

And the people who can interpret it satisfactorily. Which as time goes on will become rarer and rarer as successive generations, used to being told where to go by an AI, lose the ability to understand how to use it.



A new old timey wimey telephone directory showed up in my mailbox yesterday. Blast from the past it was. And strangely enough, more easily nagigable than trying to ferret out local business names than Google, go figure.

Their process can't be perfected much more than how perfect it is now and after nearly a century of study.

I know this much, if I needed to take a shit in the outback, I'd much prefer to wipe my ass with a street directory than a Garmin.
