sweet old 80s and 90s sigh

Billings, MT—1978. One station was the CBS and NBC affiliate, and they piped in KPIX from San Francisco between midnight and 6AM. We could get CBC Lethbridge, but they hadn’t switched to color programming, so all the programs they rebroadcast from the US networks were in black & white.

Yeah but the mid 90s had Crystal Pepsi, who’s to say whether that’s better or worse than the face portrait toast thing?

Well, back to Anton Bruckner . .

And Howard Hughes invented streaming on demand video, by buying a television station and telling them what to air.

I didn’t know a selfie toaster existed but now I want one.

I wonder, too…time for another cup of coffee, from my coffee/blender/bluetooth-machine!

We could all use an Angermemnon to reflect on such things.

Okay, I have to ask: What is a Hillbilly Dish? Not tracking on that at all.

I tend to believe we’re all destined to re-live all this madness over and over until we finally get that none of it matters.

We won’t be here on this earth longer than our makers wish us to be. Until then just enjoy the ride and don’t stress over what we can “do” about it.

Selfie toaster? I’m still waiting for the flying cars and hover boards.

There are SO many more things we can put our faces on… like pancakes and stuff.

They thought that in the late 19th century. Come to think of it, they may have been right.

We were promised jet packs by now but, on the other hand, we DO have a selfie toaster that puts your face on a piece of toast. (also, I need to have that toaster)

Ooh how I yearn for the good ole days! ☹️

Any body home? Are you having loading problems again? My second cup of coffee is wearing off. Hello? Bueller?

Everyone must get steined. A bilingual pun.

Does this toaster really exist?? Googling now. PS I love the monster!!
