More Old Broad Attitude - The Good Old Days? Bah Humbug!

I always enjoy the "remember when", "the good old days", "the golden years", threads on forums. Usually baby boomers post with their memories of growing up in the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's. They always make me smile as I think "oh, I remember that", but, to be totally honest, there is always a part of me that wants to slap a few faces and say "wake up".

Antique Vintage Dealers!! Collectors!! Have you read this book?

Antique, Vintage and Collectible dealers and collectors - Have you ever read Cadillac Jack by Larry McMurtry? If you haven't, you should. My neighbor and friend Denice turned me on to it and now I want to share. A good book on a subject you've actually lived to a certain degree, is always a good read.

As a thank you to Denice, here's a link to her shop on etsy http://www.blogger.com/www.etsy.com/shop/VioletCrownEmporium

It's a very different book for Mr. McMurtry, but as he states in the forward, he wanted it to be.

A tip of the hat to steampunk.

Please keep in mind that I'm an old broad, okay? Going to be 60 shortly, and am the first to admit that I am no longer up to par on the major interests of the youth culture. Not really sure I was all that up to date on it when I was one of the youth culture! Found myself mingled in with the hippy flower child wave and must admit that parts of it were a very comfortable fit. Have the feeling though that the way my mind tends to work, in other generations the labels might have been bluestocking, bohemian, witch or even village idiot.
