"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Looks like a great catch. But well, I love maps.
Yeah, it's really cool and in really good condition. I now have to pay a couple hundred bucks to get it framed right.
That auction has some pretty cool items.

I had little haul to speak of this Christmas as I'd pretty much already bought myself what I'd wanted. I hadn't yet unwrapped the 2nd Kate Bush box, so I threw that under the tree so I could pretend it was from my wife.She gave me a couple of nice things, just not music related. I gave her a Shirley Jackson biography she'd been wanting, and a collection of Shirley Jackson novels and short stories.
My kids got most of what they wanted, so all is copacetic.
I got some nice stuff. A Fitbit and headphones.
My daughter bought me a couple of Sabbath discs; Dehumanizer and Mob Rules and Amorphis - Queen of Time. Also received the latest Kamelot CD.
Went out today and picked up the new Greta van Fleet and Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Nice! You're set for a while.
Besides some stocking stuffers like candy and underwear, she-who-must-be-obeyed and the kids got me some cider and stouts. Brother-in-law in Germany sent some limoncello, pastry, and a nutcracker figurine. After Thanksgiving she-etc. sends me on a record-buying run to get myself items that she'll wrap and put under the tree, as she doesn't know what I have or want. By Christmas I forget what I bought a month earlier, so it's sort of a surprise. This year got a Gram Parson's tribute on DVD including the ubiquitous Keith Richards, a Groundhogs set on DVD, a Brian Wilson/SMiLE on DVD, and few CDS by Charlie Louvin, steel-player JD Maness, X-Ray Spex, and the Burrito Bros. My daughter and her boy friend found some pre-Code movie box sets and a couple Roscoe Arbuckle silent sets for me. Good haul, but the best part was having my son home for good after spending 5.5 years working overseas. His first Christmas home with us in years.

Atta boy, Luther!
The wife spoiled me again this year with the Novalis Schmetterlinge 16-disc boxed set as well as the complete Are You Being Served? 14-DVD collection. Great choices! In my stocking also was the latest PROG mag (that's nice because I've let my subscription lapse) and a nice bottle of Amarone to enjoy while I flip through it. It was a lovely day!

I got next to nothing, because that was my request after spending money on an antique map earlier in the year and then ordering over $600.00 of custom framing for that and three other antique prints.
But, I did get a few things, including the deluxe edition of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On?" and some deep-dish pizza pans.

I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
Mommy and Daddy are mad!
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad...
Impera littera designata delenda est.
My in laws asked me what I wanted for Christmas, so I sent them an amazon link to a book of letters and journal entries by a girl who died in a concentration camp - it's supposed to be uplifting, which I believe. But they totally ignored it and sent me, from Amazon, a Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll. LOL!
Three years later. Today I got a great Christmas Haul. I’m very fortunate!
- $$ from the in-laws, some of which I spent on the big VDGG box set (paid thru the nose because I wasn’t planning on buying this, and Amazon was the ONLY place that had it in stock, but at retail or something! Not gonna think about it!)
- The Zappa Track-By-Track book from my son
- A much-touted horror novel called “Lost Tongues” by someone on a horror subReddit. Got this for myself.
- A really nice sweater from my wife
- Also from my wife, a couple of useful kitchen things: a really good cutting board from Etsy, and a highly-rated omelet pan.
- I did a Secret Santa with someone from one of the pipe-tobacco forums; I got a few very good and interesting, well-aged tins of tobacco. Very nice! I gave the other guy some good stuff but not as well aged.
Now, to make our traditional Christmas breakfast of popovers…
Have a fun morning, to those celebrating! What did you haul in?
I hauled in a DEAD FURNACE! Died at 1AM. If i was bad this year at least I’d have some Coal for the Fireplace!
Repair place DID answer the phone on Christmas morning….so there’s that. But no repair until Monday morning.
Oh…..we’re expecting 2” - 5” of snow today.
The Ice Cream Lady Wet her drawers........To see you in the Passion Playyyy eeee - I. Anderson
"It's kind of like deciding not to date a beautiful blonde anymore because she farted." - Top Cat
I was expecting to be kinda meh, but it made my nips stiffen - Jerjo
(Zamran) "that fucking thing man . . . it sits there on my wall like a broken clock " - Helix
Social Media is the "Toilet" of the Internet - Lady Gaga
There were nine CDs under the tree for me this morning from my wife:

Alphonse Mouzon - Mind Transplant
Budgie - Squawk
Rare Bird - Epic Forest
Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings Of Destiny
Leprous - Aphelion
Rick Wakeman - Return To The Centre Of The Earth

Merry Christmas everyone!

That kind of things always happen on holidays. I think we had once a leak in the kitchensink on New Years Eve, just before the weekend I think, so we had to wait till the next Monday before someone could repair it.
I got some nice presents from people were I take care of the cats and other animals.
One family spend a package with all kinds of food stuff.
One family spend an amaryllis
One family spend some pastry
So I suppose I'm appreciated as kitty-sitter.
Decent haul this year. Candy, dried figs, and scratch lottery tickets (a couple dollar winners) as stocking stuffers. Under the "tree" (a camera tripod with a crude drawing of a tree taped to it) from my wife and kids a CD of early Real Kids rehearsals and demos from 1975 and 1976, the Strawbs 3-disk Deadlines set, the 2-DVD set of Romantic Warriors: Krautrock 2, some gloves that I needed when riding my bicycle in the cold, and a couple of 16-oz Bone-Up brewery glasses.

Atta boy, Luther!
Chip clips, Socks, and a book. Somewhat slow X-Mas here.
Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!
A wallet, suspenders, knife rack (mwa ha ha), genesis memorabilia, a bunch of clothes.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
One of these days I'm going to start a Genesis memorabilia thread.
Salt licorice, a bottle o' Monkey Shoulder, a THRAK T-shirt, and some CDs off my Wishlist:
Tangerine Dream - The Sessions VI
Trio of Doom
Eric Dolphy - Conversations
Eric Dolphy - Iron Man
I'd put these two on my Wishlist because the samples seemed to sound better than the same material from the recent Musical Prophet set.
Suspenders? You must share a photo.

I don't want to drive the PE gals crazy!!
I got a $100 Amazon gift certificate today (gone now) and the Obama and Springsteen book.
