I need a better title for this section than BLOG. What a cursed word that reminds of a different era. Blogs feel even more Obama coded than hiring Timothy Geithner and bailing out the banks, but nevertheless I will continue to BLOG (if I remember or have anything to write about, but I figure if I am paying to have a website I may as well put something on it!).
This is the GOOD side
I need a new sign. Walk by and take a look sometime. It is bleak. I got up there at some point a year or so ago and tried to clean it, hoping that it was mostly just dirt that could be scrubbed off, but just look at that thing. Anyway, signs are expensive, so I’ve been putting it off for years now, but I think we are at the point where the closest it does to getting people in the store is forcing people to stop, squint, and try to figure out what exactly it says, so it’s new sign time.
I know this isn’t a good image due to the sun, but trust me, it doesn’t get much better.
Besides, I want a sign that better represents the store than a big Marx face. That’s right, I’m entering the sellout phase where Marx gets hidden further and further behind cat fur until I just go ahead and change the name to BookMarks and put Mark Twain and Mark Levin on the sign as a two-headed author, and become St. Peter when I’m asked about Karl. “Marx? I never knew the man!” Hopefully, by the end of 2025, you will look up there and see something other than a big black splotch over a drawing of Karl Marx.
