Oh crap.

They’re closing down Rivers in April.

Just heard on the radio.

Oh no, I didn't really shop there but they had one in my very rural town I grew up in.

It's a shame, I suppose Kmart was too competitive at the budget price-point.

Today was a gloriously gross indulgent write-off (terrible for me eyes and body), but at least I did manage to make dinner and deal with the Doom Pile of Dishes. I tried eating rice with a fork to be silly and still found it incomprehensible so I googled "why do white people eat rice with a fork". Apparently because it is just a starch to eat with other dry things you need a fork for: it is like a crumbly potato. Cool. Well, I'm still going to stick with a spoon anyway...

Today's vintage vinyl LP is Voices of the South , the Wagner Chorale. An album of some spirituals and some folk. It's all a cappella

it's an interesting and good album

Has anyone epoxied carbon fibre cloth onto something?

I have a heat shield that I failed to paint properly and now I’m thinking that I might do the above instead.

Only problem is I need such a small piece of cloth. Not worth buying a whole lot.
