Corsair Correction
Oct. 5th, 2015 02:21 pm
Saw in my newsbox that the Hobby Lobby in Sevierville had their Grand Opening today so I went there and got this diecast Corsair, which I'd been hoping to find for quite a while. (They'd sold out at other area locations and I was seriously thinking about going to the one in the Tri-Cities.)

(After a week of horrible, sub-freezing weather and outright dangerous driving conditions, things finally improve to allow me and Moonshine to sortie out.)
ME: Sevier County! ( Read more... )
MOONSHINE: Yay!

At the same Route 66 tourist trap store at which I recently bought cheap music CDs, they have very cheap costume motorcycle helmets--not legal for actual safety use but "convicing" in appearance. Two styles: skullcap and mini-Fritz (parody of the old German army helmet). I'm already thinking that the skullcap type could be the basis for sci-fi helmets such as the Macross/Robotech fighter pilot type. Or perhaps just repaint them in some "me-ish" colors? Hmm.

Vended in honor of the freebie sunglasses that came as a premium with a Rock CD I bought at a tourist-trap store in Sevierville this evening. The CD does Rock, just not to the extreme that Los Tres Hombres do.

Monday Drive
Mar. 29th, 2010 03:55 pmTook Mum to Sevier County to window shop. The Bumbershoot book store has been replaced by one called "Bumble Bee". The housewares store at Red Roofs Mall was closed today for no apparent reason. Gatlinburg was crowded. We visited a few more stores in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. She got some fabric at Cherry Pit for a project she's working on.
Nothing particularly out-of-the-normal happened, so I don't think KiffieScope(TM) is needed today. :/

Follow-Up To Last Post
Nov. 23rd, 2009 03:57 pmBack from Sevier County. Found what I want to buy everybody for the Holidays...but not sure how many I'll have to buy for. :/ So I don't know if my budget is going to work at all.

Some of it is already done but I did not plan it as such. Today I hope to reconnoiter Sevier County and see what may be available, as a buddy wants to shop here and I want to show him the best places. But my usual habit is to wait till after my birthday (December 15th) just to avoid overdosing on the crowds and the panic and the awful holiday music and kitsch.

The Nightmare That Stole Christmas
Oct. 30th, 2009 04:30 pm...or Santa Claus Has Left The Building.
The smallest of the three Christmas-All-Year-Round stores on Route 66 is history and another business is moving in. Noticed this on my way back to Rather Manor after visiting Aleks in hospital. (More about him later.)
The economic pundits are saying the recession is over on Wall Street and the recover will filter down to Main Street in a quarter or two. Well, what I see is that small businesses are still failing, and people are still being put out of their jobs, and there is no relief for the desperation of the workers whose jobs are in a precarious day-to-day state.
The pundits are counting on the Christmas buying season to pull everybody through. It won't work if nobody has money because nobody has income.

There is a new "laser tag" place moving into Pigeon Forge. But since "space opera" is "out"...
Laser units have gotten more and more compact...
And modernist fantasy is "in"...
The place is going for a Harry Potter theme with the lasers in "magic wand" form.
*shrug*
Meanwhile, I'm listening to NPR's Fresh Air program about the superhero pr0n that Joe Shuster drew after he left DC and lost the rights to Superman.

They Call Alabama The Crimson Tide...
Oct. 23rd, 2008 04:36 pmHow appropriate is it that I buy Steely Dan's Aja CD the same weekend the Vols play Alabama?
Only two slots left in my travel wallet!
