A Bunch Of Batteries

I saw a bunch of batteries at a garage sale today. Like a stack I've never seen, like super sized car batteries, but I wasn't looking closely.

I asked about them and she said they were for car stereos and demolition derbies.

Always A Sad Sight

This is always a sad sight for a record collector or Elvis Presley fan, to have the rare sight of an Elvis 78 at a garage sale, then to have it be broken.

I've seen it before and it's one of my biggest disappointments. Once I went to a sale and there was two or three and only one of them was broken, which is still a drag.

The other day I went to a garage sale and there was just this one -- Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel -- and wouldn't you know it? A piece missing. There were several other 78s that weren't broken at all ... but this one had to be!

It's a bad picture but you can tell it doesn't look like that great of condition anyway, and it wasn't. But if it was entirely there I would have bought it anyway, assuming it wasn't $50 or something.
