Once more into the breach, and then I’ll leave the subject alone. This thread has everything. It’s educational; introducing people to music they never considered, highlighting recordings previously unknown, friendly; with welcomes almost immediately for new posters, generous; there are packages heading for new owners almost constantly, considerate; sharing and sympathizing with other people’s problems and concerns.
It’s also a lifeline. Some of us rely on it for the only interaction we get with other people. The fact that those other people are of a similar mindset is the icing on the cake. Want to spend weeks away from home, have no social life outside of those you encounter at work, sleep in a truck or work camp and generally watch your life disappear while others are having a great time? Welcome to my world. Sure. If this thread disappeared, I’d replace it with something else, given time, but who else would really care what the northern prison is?
Presently listening to two vac trucks through double hearing protection. Catch you all later.
